Now thnt tho caso iu whloh hIx yoniiK
moil of Norfolk woro charged with n
hclnoiiH crime has boon Rlvon Us pro
llmlnnry hearing Tine Nkwh cannot bo
accused of prejudging tho ciiho from
hearsay ovidonco if it ronilirms tho
opinion previously oxprossod that tho
youiiB nmu connected thorowith should
bo punished or at least hound over to tho
diairiot court
Populnr Hontiniont of I ho people of
Norfolk scorns to bo moro strongly
against tho young ion sinco tho com
plotion of the proliininary hearing than
nt any timo since tho outrage was per
potrated
Tho defoiiHO endeavored to oxouko
tho action of tho young nion by
tunrniB to piocos tho moral character of
a helpless and ovidontly ignorant young
girl It iH not within tho bounds of
roason that a girl with a particle of souse
would consent to receive tho treatment
which according tothoirown testimony
hho was glvon at tho hands of tho defend
ants So far as a strict interpretation of
tho law is ooncornod they may have
Biiccooded in honoring thomselvosboforo
tho court but as far as publio sontimont
goes they nro placed in a worse light
than over before
Tho braon faced manner in whioh
members of tho gang told their shame
ful story was alono suflloiont to disgust
the moral sonso of any community not
to montion tho disgusting facts admitted
by thorn as having occurred Thoirown
ovidonco waR sutlloiont to prove that
they aro dangerous moral lopors whose
presence in a community is a disgrace
and a slander
Tho youth and scorning romorso of
some members of tho dofonso pleads for
clomency on tho part of tho final court
bnt thero ought to bo no reason why
they should not bo bound over to tho
district court there to bo given their
Jlnal hearing
The Nkwu hut voicos tho sontimont
of niuo out of ton people of tho city
when it says that Judge Hates can mako
no mistako iu binding tho young nion
over wliilo ho may make a serious orror
in dismissing them
Their prosecution would seoni to bo
demanded not ouly as a matter of pro
tection to other homes but it would
havo a sound moral olloot upon other
youths who would bo warned to guard
against being placed in a similar posi
tion before tho eyos of tho law and tho
moral sontiinout of tho community
Like crimes have boon so often
smoothed over and excused that it
would seem that the timo has arrived
when a telling lesson should bo taught
and an oxample sot whloh should bo a
-warning for all time to come
