the production of his clothes, also from another sewer. They
murdered him because they feared his charges; they called him a spy
in order to nerve their dupes to kill him, and they slew him.
Gentlemen of the jury, I have now said all in this case that I
intend to say. It is needless for me to say more, as I shall be
followed by others of great ability. I simply ask you to do this.

"It is unpleasant for a man to sit on the trial of a fellow-man on
a charge involving his life and liberty, but it is your business to

enforced by the jury. On the call of Providence you are here now,
and your duty is before you. Recollect, gentlemen, that while your
duty is serious and burdensome, it is also of vast importance.
Remember, gentlemen, that your duty is just as important and as

out that duty is as great as it would be upon the battlefield or in
any other walk of life. Deal with these men justly, execute the
law, satisfy your own consciences, and the rest of us will be
satisfied."

to plead for the lives of his two clients with a heart as light as
that of a newly-made bride, caressed with her husband's love. It
was the apparent desire of the public prosecutor to disgrace every
witness, who appeared to testify to any fact or circumstance,
tending to show the innocence of the accused, but this course would
never deter him from exercising the best ability that God had given
him, in procuring for his clients every legal right known to the
law and the country. He urged the jury to banish all prejudice, a
