Judge Cantrill, of the Georgetown (Ky) district, talks from his bench like a brute.
It is evident he does not believe that "justice should be tempered with mercy."
From his acts we would judge that Judge Cantrill belongs to the brutal age of Nero, and not to this enlightened and Christian 20th century.
