They virtMlly ad mitted that, as to the four re leased, Sind one Imprisoned on a- nother charge, that same evidence was not surficient to justify a con viction. If M«. Price’s story as told the first time was true, then all nine of the boys were equally guilty and entj^lf^ ^o eq^a| punislv ment. If she.changed her story as it affected the four defendants now at liberty, t^e perjured her first testimony and her accusa tion, unsupported by other re liable testimony, ought not to have been accepted. Since the prose cutors finally admitted that her story was not adequate to con vict five, then It was not adequate to convict any of the nine boys. With the^ sole exception of Judge Horton’s setting aside of the first verdict at Decatur, which resulted in his tragic eliminatod from the bench, the judicial ma chinery of the sovereign State of Alabama was sized with madness. The 'majesty of the la^, was su- si^nded; justice sent on ui enforced vacation; and hysoeriay^ S9ception and innate prejudged wore enthroned as judge, jury, and excutioner. The element of ‘reasonable doubt’ was Ignored in pruon. It is the Daily News’ Idea that Alabama, in taking this step, has done far more than it would ever do Sjy a bulllheaded misadmlnis- tration of justice to maintain its good name and vindicate its honor.
