statement which might be construed as sour grapes, but we
state emphatically that one couldn’t give us a set of these
darned things! We are especially averse to satin and silk
sheets, even if the cost were no factor. It dates back to our
younger days when our home had been gifted with a set of
silk or satin sheets and we happened to be wearing nylon
pajamas. We were more youthfully then, and, for some
reason, we approached the bed this particular evening in a 4 „

Although we are legally trained and moderately well ver- M
sed in the law, we still differ all too often with the jurists of
our day. We suspect many in the legal profession join us in
this opinion, too. We bring this up in reference to the recent
reversal by a three-man Federal appeal court of the death
sentence handed down by a State District Court jury for a TROPHY OF THE
Fort Worth man. The crime? He had savagely hacked three RUNT— Floyd Guthrie, Rt.
women and two children to death and then gave himself up. Bagwell, bagged this nice

except that he had an “irresistable Impulse” to commit the 2^0v-22 --------
wanton murders. Quite properly, we think, he was gfven ]
capital punishment. So? So now_the Federal jurists rule he
cannot be given the death sentence he so richly deserves
because the trial judge may have improperly disqualified
one or more potential jurors. Get that, now the objection had
nothing to do with the jurors that served, only with some that
did not. We are well aware of the argument that such 1
disqualifications may have reduced the number of potential
jurors who did not favor the death sentence, but such
reasoning seems specious to us. For goodness sakes, let’s
quit the nitpicking and begin to make these animals pay for !
their crimes!
