In our investigations we are
confronted with that seeminly
ev^r present stumbling block to
justice, "perjury." Infac.per
jury is the most common viola-
tion of the law, and despite tbe
seriousness of this crime, wit
nesses almost constantly resort
to it in an effort to defeatjustice.
Aged men, young men, and even
young women, who were called
before us, seemed to rezard
their oaths most Hghtly We
call upon the citizenship of our
County to help suppress this
evil, and we hope the amendment
to the present law against per-
jury, now pending in the Leu-
islature, may be passed in order
that those guiity of this offense
may be more easily brought t
justice.
