Perverted Justice.
Folinmy 1, 11)01, near Jimvalo, in
Wobstor county, Nebraska, Frank
Uarkcr committed u premeditated,
cold bloodod and most brutal murder
of his brother and brother's wife.
The execution and attempt od conceal
ment of tliu crime woro attended with
acts evincing a maliciousness and
brutality seldom equaled.
The murderer was arrosted and hold
to the district court, wherein, after a
trial lasting several days in which he
was vigorously prosecuted and ably
defended. Ho was found of
guilty of murder in the first degroo
and sentenced to bo bunged.
On behalf of the convicted man, his
case was removed by error proceed
ings of tho supremo court, wherein it
was carefully examined and reviewed,
resulting in a finding by that court
that he had had a fair and impartial
trial in which no error was committed
and tho sonteuco of tho district court
was atllrmod, Juno 1(5, lOOTi, being llxod
for tho execution.
Vet more ponding theso proceed
ings tho murderer on moio than ono
occasion confessed tho commission of
the crime, and related its horrible de
tails, admitting that in giving his evi
denco at tho trial he had freely
perjured himself.
An attorney interested himself in
tho caso on behalf of tho confessed
and convicted perjurer and double
murderer and sought to have him
declared insane, in order to prevent
bhe execution of tho death sentence.
Tho governor of tho sttto and the
warden of tho penitentiary, who had
powor to institute proceedings to
detormine tho sanity of such criminals
with the assistance of some of tho best
physicians in tho statu investigated
tho matter thoroughly, tho governor
says, and concluded that Barker was
sane and there wms no cause for such
proceedings, nor to delay tho execu
tion or sentence
Notwithstanding this, tho attorney
sought a hearing over tho heads of
these olllcials, which was denied him
by tho district court of Lancaster
county, but upon application to tho
supreme court it held such denial to
be error, and that the hearing should
yrocoud to dotormiuu the present
sanity or insanity of. tho murderer.
Thereupon tho governor, apparent
ly in a tit of potulnnc", granted a
reprieve of two years to tho con
demned man. Tho purposo theieof is
not stated in tho ofllcial doeuinont,
but it is stated in tho public press,
that by that time tho governor's term
of olllco will have expired and ho neod
not bo bothered more about tho caso.

sanity may not bo determined within
a few days.
Attempt to concoal it as wo may, it
is truth that "tho laws delay" in pun
ishment of crime, and tho uncertainty
whether crimo will bo punishod, aro
the principal causes of resort to lynch
and mob law; breed contempt of tho
law, and encourage criminals in tho
commission of crimo by inculcatim:
the belief that they can successfully
evade tho law.
This has boon amply demonstrated
in every community whoro lynching1
has taken place, with all its train of
degrading and demoralizing results.
Tho fault does not lio in tho law,
which must bo framed to meet all
wses It lies with those whoso duty it
is to administer and executo tho law.
That, instead of looking to tho en
forcement of tho law as it oxists, and
the protection and
solves in etfoct tho benefactors of
criminals, by taking such stops as
assist them in owuling tho just and
full punishment attachod by tho law
to their crimo.
They thus mako tho whole judicial
system, which is tho bulwark of our
protection as well as our liberties, a
HllllJCUb Ul JUIIj Ul IllUl.tlll, II IllJb III UKII-
tomnt. and destroy conlldonco in its
oflieaoy ns tho protector of tho prop
erty and life or citizens.
Tho governor is committed to tho
statemont that Darker is sano and
thattiioro is no reason to Tlelay tho
execution. If that is correct there is
no ground for tho roprievo. IJurkor's
attorney claims Uarkor to bo insane,
and tho supremo court has said there
should bo a hearing to determine
that question. 'I hat could have been
done before now and could yet bo
done within a few weeks time. Ilenco
this furnishes no ground for tho two
year's reprieve. What thon is tho real
ground or motive actuating tho gov
ernor, tho chief oxecutive ollicor of tho
state in thus preventing duo execution
of tho law?
It is stated in tho public press, that
tho move was mado because tho gov
ernor and warden had previously mado
statements respecting Marker's sanity
in conflict with their ailldavits subse
quently Hied, which would bo brought
out at tho hearing, should one bo had
Whether this is true, we do not know.
It is plain however, that the law
does not contemplate the granting of
u reprieve without some good reason
as a basis for the action, and that, so
far as has been mado public, no reason
good or bad, has boon advanced by tho
governor in this instance.
Considering the enormity and bru
tality oT tho crime, tho certainty that
exists as to tho ono who perpetrated
it, and tho fooling naturally resulting
in tiio community, the people of the
vicinity of Inavalo aro entitled to
groat credit for remaining law abid
ing citizens and trusting to tho of 11
cacy of tho law and honesty, its
ollioors to accomplish their protection
and tho punishment of tho criminal.
Mut what it blow their faith has now
received! When, by all tho courts tho
criminal lias been condemned to the
puuihmcut provided by law, tho cliiof
executive ollicor of tho state, without
so much as. hinting at any ground or
reason for his action, arbitrarily and
apparently only to prevent his own
vacillations and conflicting statements
or those of his warden, from becoming
generally known, flagrantly violates
tho spirit and intent of tho law ho has
sworn to uphold and enforce, and in
effect nullifies its provisions for tlio
protection of human life.
Such doings mako peace loving, law
abiding citizens hang their heads in
shamo; oncourago crimo and criminals
aro allasting stain upon tlio fair famo
of our beloved stato and institutions,
and convict our governor of a weak
ness and vacillation, if nothing moro
which render him ontiroly unlit for
his high olllce.

Following tho ceremony a three

in tho evening tho bridal party drove
