The Times in an editorial on the New Orleans tragedy says: "It is all very well to reprobate a resort lo violence, but under such circumstances as these what way is there f.r emancipating a community from intolerable tyranny excepting a resort to violence? The law requires a trial by jury and trial by jury had been reduced to a foice by the knowledge possessed bv every juiyman lhat il lie convicts a member of the Mafia his life is not worth a week's puichase.
