On May 16 eight untried murderers were “rounded up” in Judge Belcher’s court of San Francisco to enter their first pleas, preliminary to trial. Many of these have been long delayed, and this is generally the case the greater the crime. America’s last annual record of murders is said to be excelled only by Turkey, and that in her year of Armenian massacres. Justice seems not only blind, but crippled. The true situation is presented in Isa. 59: 14.
