Didtrict Attorney Beck's Error. ' The public lias just been treated to an exhibition in coui;t by Cuitecl .States Attorney Heck which is not altogether creditable to that official. His earnest effort to prevent a reason able postponement of the trial of Ellery P. Ingham and Harvey lv. Newitt went beyond the requirnient of the case. Mr. Heck is expected to do his duty, but liis actions carried a flavor of persecution rather than prosecution. The two men under indictment have borne heretofore the best of characters. No breath of dishonesty has ever touched them. Their ac cusers today are self-confessed conn-1 torfeitcrs and bribe takers, and the) District Attorney should remember! that thev must be considered in no- j cent until they are convicted if. they can be convicted. Mr. Ingham i is seriously ill, and under present, conditions he could not be dragged; into court without endangering bis j life. His family physician testified; to this l'act, testimony which was | corroborated by one of the most j famous names connected with Hie! medical profession. The solemni declaration of the family physician j alone should have been sufficient, ; and il was sufficient with Judge Mr l'herson, (o postpone the trial, but it was not with the District Attorney. ; What we complain of was the at tempt 011 the part of the latter to make it appear by other testimony that the case was not. as serious as represented, and by discrediting it ' to prevent an adequate postpone ment. Doubtless this error of judgment on the part of Mr. Heck arises Irom the fact that lie has been the person al friend t' " " ,'ghain and Mr. Newitt ai' /deems it neces sary to ynblic the impres sion that in ti. performance of his duty be knows no friendship. Hut be can duly impress the public by conducting the case in the ordinary j way, not the extraordinary. In or der to stand erect he need not lean I over backward, for in doing so he! will give the impression, not ol im partiality ami fairness, but of perse-1 cut ion. t a f/ii in Mrs. S.
