Show LEILICH'S IDIOCY. Unless Reverend Leilich has something up Els sleeve, he has done the cause which he pretends pre-tends to further much harm. His showing looks like the work of an unscrupulous and vain fool who is crazy lest he may not reap any notoriety out of the business in hand. Then he giv.es away the fact that he knows nothing of the usual pro. cedures of courts or the requirements of the law in dealing with accused persons. Such people are held as innocent until their guilt is established. tie assumes apparently that to make a charge puts the person accused on the defensive and compels him to prove his innocence. It would not be so disgraceful if he did not pose as a clergyman. In our judgment he has done more to seat Apostle Smoot than all the attorneys and friends of Smoot have been able to do up to date. |
