What a difference
We take the following from
the Tulsa World, which shows
that atone time Judges were
handling the law with equality to
all men. Had we some Judges
like Roberts less murders would
pe committed in Oklahoma than
now. Its a case of the good
name of the state being sacrificed
because of fool sentiment on the
part of some Judge.
Away back in 1873 1874 one
Caldwell .was tried for shooting
a prisoner wno broke away and
ran after having beeo arrested .
He nut the prisoner under the
charge of two officers and told
them to shoot him if he ran. the
prisoner did run, but made no
effort to attack the officers in any
way. They fired on and struck
him, but he continued to run,
and when he got within range ol
Caldwell ths latter shot him with
as much nonchalance as if he
had been a deer, and death re-
suited in a few hours!
The point was made that the
proof was not clear as to which
officer's shot killed the prisoner
but the great, Oran M. Roberts,
disposed of that contenion speed-
ly bv saying: The defendant told
the guards to shoot him if he
ran' and they obeyed his orders
and shot him and the defend-
and shot him also, and by the
shots he was killed. What mat-'
ters it whether one or all of the
shots killed him'3

great Judge
The evidence in this case,
when thorughly sifted down, ex
hibits a plain case of the killing
of a prisoner by the officer and
his guard while he (the prisoner)
Was unarmed and not resting
or attacking theia, but simply
running away to make his escape
from their custody.
The charge of the court was
full and pershicuous, and, sub-
stantially as required by the
code, told the jury that the offi.
cer or other person executing an
order of arrest is repuired to
use such force as may be neces-
sary to prevent an escape, but
he shall not in any case kill one
who attemps to escape unless in
making such escaDe the life of
the officer is endangered or he is
threatened with great bodily
injury
It would be bard to find
in fGar of loss of life or great
bodily injury, but he shot the
deceased to prevent his escape,
the act was not justified, but was
m the absence of express malice
murder in the second degree.
The jury convicted the defendant
of that offense.
Passing upon the charge last
quoted, Judge Roberts said: "
This was exactly the proper
charge required by the evidence
and the court properly refused
any and every charge whioh pre-
sented the law in a different
phase. The jury, from their
finding, properly appreciated its
force, and properly acted upon
and in accordance with it in find-
ing ther verdict, which from the
facts in proof they were con-
strained to do."-
The opinion concludes with
these words, which diserve to be
printed in blazing letters on
every constabulary oAcer's com-
mission:
"The law places too high an
estimate upon a man's life, tho
he be a poor, friendless prisoner
to permit an officer to kill him
unresisting, simply to prevent
escape. It has been vindicated
in this case. There being no
error in the judgment of the
court, it was affirmed.
The law has thus laid down,
is yet the law, and ought to be,'
and will so remain.
