THE UNWRITTEN LAW.
Much has been s*i3 about the
unwritten law, as applied to
murder cases. When a murder?
er is guilty of murder, by the
statute law, his counsel some?
times endeavors to have the jurv
acquit him b? the application of
that vague doctrine termed "the
unwritten law." When a man
or his family is grievously
?wronged and there is no redress
by the statute or common law,
there might be some excuse for a
man relying upon the unwritten
law, or in plain language, taking
the law into his own hands.
Even then, a party who would
resort to this extremity does so
at his own risk. If he be mis?
taken as to the facts, his viola?
tion of the law will probably be
tollowed by grave consequences.
The term "unwritten law" is
merely another name for viola?
tion of law. Years ago, it was
termed "the higher law," and
was the pretext in New England
for the violation of the highest
law of the country, the Consti?
tution of the United States, and
was persisted in until even the
Chief Magistrate of the United
States did not hesitate to violate
the provisions of that fundament?
al law, and force upon the peo?
ple a fratricidal war which re?
sulted in the loss of many thou?
sand lives and millions of treas?
ure.
Another name by which it has
been known is "lynch law." This
has been resorted to by mobs,
who, on account of a very hein?
ous crime committed, or suppos?
ed to have been committed, by
some individual, take the
law into their own hands and
murder a defenseless victim.
The statute laws of Virginia
provide punishment for all kinds
of crime, and it is an unusual
crime that is not a violation of
the law.
In the case in Nelson county,
where Judge Loving killed Mr.
Estes, from the latest informa?
tion, it appears that Mr. Estes
did not wrong Judge Loving's
daughter. He took her out rid?
ing. She complained that she
was unwell and at her request
he gave her some whiskey.
Their ride was on a public road
where the houses were close to
each other. They returned be?
fore dark. Miss Loving was
intoxicated. A physician was
summoned and found that she
was only under the influence of
whiskey. Judge Loving was
informed that his daughter had
been drugged and brought to the
house, where she was visiting, in
an unconscious condition. He
sought young Estes, found him
engaged at his usual business,
superintending the unloading of
a car of fertilizer, and without
giving him an opportunity to
make an explanation, shot him|M
to death, with a double barrel *?
shot gun. Judge Loving evi?
dently acted too hastily, and was
mistaken as t > the facts.
Another plea relied upon in
the Thaw case, and to some ex?
tent in the Strother case, is
termed "emotional insanity." |
Experts can generally be found
who find no difficulty in making
a murderer emotionally insane. In
almost every case of manslaught?
er, the party committing the
crime acts while under the in-(sup
fluente of intense excitement or
uncontrolled passion. If this
plea is sufficient to shield the
guilty party from punishment,
the laws affords little protection
to human life. The laws are
sufficient and the good of society
requires their strict enforcement.

A LETTER FROM SEN. LUPTON.
Winchester, Va., May 1, 1907,
To the Editor of the Shen. Herald:
I notice in a recent issue of the
Woodstock Herald a communication
signed "B" in which the statement is
made that Mr. R. M. Ward cannot
rightfully claim the benefit of the
custom of "rotation" in the senator
ship as between Frederick and Shen?
andoah which has seemed to prevail
ever since the district was formed, be?
cause he supported me for re-election
four years ago.
In the interest of the "square deal"
which has been so frequently invoked
of late the public should know the
real facts in the case.
Before announcing myself for re
electio i I saw Judge Taveuner at the
Evans Hotel in Winchester, and asked
him if he would be a candidate fur the
State Senate. He refused to say pos?
itively, but left rae under the impress?
ion that he would not. Later I sent
Ihree or four of rav friends to him to
try and get some definite information
ts to his probable course, and each
:nade the same report, naraelv, that
vhiie declining to commit himself, the
mpression was made by Judga Tav
mner that he would not be a candi
iate.
I then consulted with friends in
Shenandoah who advised me that
wing to factional differences in the
democratic party it was unlikely that
?henandoah would offer a candidate
>r State Senate Believing that my
?cord in the Legislature was a favor
ble one, I thereupon announced my
?lf a candidate for re-election and
roceeded to secure such pledges of
ippor, as I could obtain. I have no
}ubt that 1 stated to Mr. Ward and
hers what I believed to be true that
would probably have no opposition,
distinctly remember so stating to
r. R. Gray Williams, who declined
support me until he was advised on
st point. I also distinctly remember
st Judge Tavenner and his friends
th in Frederick and Shenandoah
jed the "unwritten law of rotation,"
latently and successfully after he
ally made up his mind to be a can
late, notwithstanding the fact that
ras known to be doubtful if he could
ry his own county if nominated,
d should there be a Republican
didate in the field this fall it is still
y doubtful if Judge Tavenner could
ry hit own county.
believe it is customary for candi?
ds for office to secure pledges of
port as early in the fight as pos
e, and my own experience with the
rs of Frederick and Shenandoah
s me to conclude that once having
aised support they do not change
use some one else chooses to be a
idate at a later date,
rsonally I shalt support Mr.
