Show COWARDICE the miserable Mir erable exhibition exhibitions of a das tard if judge zane bad any true respect act fur for his own court he would rebuke euke abusive attorneys when the they indulge in personal spite M aud abuse witnesses wilne pees and defendant defendants who ibo are unfortunate enough to come within ran range ge of their venomous tongues an instance of this shameful prostitute o n of the powers jofs of a prosecuting officer occurred on friday when district attorney dickson addressed the jury in the case of pf royal byoung B young we ve are that he direct directly lv accused mra emma drawings Ra wings young of perjury 1 and herL husband of incie aag her to commit pez perjury jury and called him a co coward waid and a bl fick guard such language and anti euch such an at tack upon persons win who have no 0 opportunity P port unity anity of reply are below the dignity of if any buy gentleman and rod are an all insult I 1 t to any court that has the slightest respect for its own autho ily ity but such low lived conduct ie ia permitted in the third district court without objection we do not know what course would be aken n if ifan an attorney for the defense were to decena to the leyel odthe of the public ublia prosecutor but presume from the course takegi in other par tit cul ulars A that this would be viewed aslan an offense ense oi of a very grave character As a matter ot 01 fact the assertions of the district attorney aa as reported were maliciously and shamefully untrue any man who says any royal B yung is a coward i is either very much mistaken or be he wilfully falsifies there are many who would like to see the two men given a full and free chance to test this either with or without weapons but we are of the opinion that there is no need for anything of u the kind with people who are at all acquainted with the two individuate individuals vi and a sensible person who can judge human character would quickly decide that there can be no more puerile and dastardly dastardly coward than one who will ta take ke a advantage T of a bound and helpless victim and inflict upon him such pun as can come troman an unbridled and venomous tongue P trained in the art of vituperation a and nd lingual abuse it is no more oo cowardly for an jn in dinn dinu to bind i prisoner to a tree treo and torture him with a scalping knife a brund brand or a tow tomahawk than for an attorney or era a judge shielded behind the cover of a court to excoriate and accuse and a ahn u or woman who is prevented from retaliation or reply there is is no cur who is eo so despicable as such a creature there is no coward so cowardly but just such act may be expected of a being who will corner a timid woman before fifteen jeering brutal inquisitors and ply her with quest questions ious about her personal condition and her private ac acts ts euch as no decent man would rat tempt to and which if put under other iother conditions would provoke and justify the vigorous appl application i cation of a horsewhip horae whip it is not true that mrs emma rawlins yung young or agnee agnes ale rin young testified to anything but the actual facts at the trial it ia its not true and there was nothing given in in evidence to show that royal B young induced any witness to testify falsely fal tely or to anything either trye or false it is not true that he id is a blackguard everybody acquainted with him knows that be ie is not a coward was no justification for attacking him in this way wit before the jury true there was no evidence 8 ti him but such methods of influencing a jury tury are the resort of i he lie lowest pettifoggers and are di disgraceful graceful in an officer of the united states I 1 n ot he who will the helpless a coward la ii not he who flings eife names at one win wim cannot reply a blace blackguard guard and only the fact that ho ia is not under oath eaves saves the odthe of the falsehoods hurled at royal B young from being rightly branded brande d as a perjurer the public are not at a loss to the cause of the aniau against mr young he wae was a witness of the filthy and criminal it conme of those bechere whom the prosecuting attorney would not pree cute and among them was thai that dirty deputy whose name nanie ii for debauchery while mr youn young is is at liberty he is an abiding witness of the beastly doings that have been protected by the ciurle there w will i come a day when the things adelne in secret will be revealed upon the house tops 11 and the c comparative cleans ness of the defendant and add his hii ac tt
