United States Supreme Court
291 U.S. 608
Massey v. United States
It appeared, on rehearing, that the petitioner and others were indicted on March 4, 1932, in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Indiana for conspiring to violate the National Prohibition Act; that the petitioner was found guilty by a jury on May 20, 1932, and, with others, was sentenced to fine and imprisonment by a judgment entered in that court on June 3, 1932; that, on appeal, the judgment, as to the petitioner, was affirmed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on August 7, 1933; and that a petition for rehearing duly filed by him in that court was denied on October 10, 1933. It further appeared that on October 11, 1933, the Circuit Court of Appeals, upon consideration of a motion by the petitioner for a stay of mandate pending a petition to this Court for writ of certiorari, stayed its mandate until its further order, and ordered that the petitioner proceed with diligence and promptly file the petition for writ of certiorari in this Court. Petition for writ of certiorari was filed in this Court on January 6, 1934, and within the time provided by law.
The solicitor general appeared on behalf of the government upon the rehearing and stated his view to be that this case is controlled by the decision in United States v. Chambers, 291 U.S. 217, 54 S.Ct. 434, 78 L.Ed. 763 (decided February 5, 1934), and that the judgment of the court below should be reversed.
The Court is of the opinion that it appears from the record that no final judgment was rendered herein against the petitioner prior to the ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment. The judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals, as entered in the cause of this petitioner, is accordingly reversed, and the cause is remanded to the District Court, with direction to vacate that part of its judgment which sentences this petitioner, and to dismiss the indictment as to him. United States v. Chambers, 291 U.S. 217, 54 S.Ct. 434, 78 L.Ed. 763 (decided February 5, 1934).
It is so ordered.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
377 U.S. 201
Massiah v. United States
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
No. 199 Argued: March 3, 1964 --- Decided: May 18, 1964
Government agents, while continuing to investigate narcotics activities including those of petitioner, who had retained a lawyer and was free on bail after indictment, without petitioner's knowledge, secured an alleged confederate's consent to install a radio transmitter in the latter's automobile. An agent was thereby enabled to overhear petitioner's damaging statements which, despite his objection, were used in the trial which resulted in his conviction.
Held: Incriminating statements thus deliberately elicited by federal agents from the petitioner, in the absence of his attorney, deprived the petitioner of his right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment; therefore such statements could not constitutionally be used as evidence against him in his trial. Pp. 201-207.
307 F. 2d 62, reversed.

​BEAUREGARD, Pierre Gustave Toutant, was born at New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1818. He graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1838, and was at first assigned to the artillery, whence he was subsequently transferred to the corps of engineers. He served in the Mexican war, and was twice wounded. He was promoted to a captaincy of engineers in 1853, and was on duty, superintending the erection of Government buildings in New Orleans, and fortifications on the Gulf coast till Jan. 1861, when he was for five days (Jan. 23–28) Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He resigned Feb. 20, 1861, joined the Confederates, and commenced the civil war by the bombardment of Fort Sumter, April 12, 1861. He was in actual command of the Southern troops at Bull Run, July 21, 1861, in which the Federals experienced a reverse; for this service he was made a brigadier-general. He was second in command, under General Sydney A. Johnston, at the battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburgh Landing, Tennessee, April 6, 1862; and in the summer and autumn of 1863 successfully defended Charleston and its outworks when besieged by General Gillmore.

# Men of the Time, eleventh edition/Becker, Bernard Henry

Layout 2
​BECKER, Bernard Henry, author and journalist, born in 1833, has for several years past been attached to All the Year Round, and has written a large number of original stories and sketches in that journal. In 1874 he produced "Scientific London"—an account of the rise, progress, and condition of the great scientific institutions of the capital. In an article first published in Iron, and reprinted in "Scientific London," he attacked the management of the Gresham Lectures with such effect as to bring about a reform of the system under which professors are appointed. Mr. Becker published in 1878 a book in two volumes, entitled "Adventurous Lives." Having in the winter of 1878–9 acted as the ​"Special Commissioner" of the Daily News in Sheffield, Manchester, and other distressed districts of the North and Midlands, he was sent in a similar capacity to Ireland in the autumn of 1880, when he discovered Mr. and Mrs. Boycott herding sheep, and wrote those letters on the state of Connaught and Munster which have since appeared in a collected form as "Disturbed Ireland," and given rise to several discussions in the House of Commons. While differing from Mr. Becker on some minor points, the Right Hon. W. E. Forster, then Chief Secretary for Ireland, bore testimony to the perfect fairness and general accuracy of his statements. Mr. Becker writes regularly for the Daily News and the World, and contributes art and dramatic criticisms to several other journals.

​BECKX, Peter John, General of the Jesuits, was born at Sichem, in Belgium, Feb. 8, 1795, and educated for the priesthood. Shortly after receiving priest's orders he was admitted into the Society of Jesus, at Hildesheim, in Oct. 1819. His superiors soon perceived that he possessed rare abilities, and employed him on several delicate missions. When the Duke Ferdinand of Anhalt-Köthen became a convert to the Catholic religion, young Beckx was appointed his confessor, and he officiated for some years as priest of the new Catholic church which was built at Köthen. After the decease of the Duke he continued at the court with his widow, the Countess Julia, whom, at a later period, he accompanied to Vienna. In 1847 he was appointed procurator for the province of Austria, and in this capacity he went to the College of Procurators at Rome. In the following year the Jesuits were temporarily driven from Austria, and consequently Father Beckx, being unable to return to that country, repaired to Belgium, and was nominated rector of the college belonging to his order at Louvain. When the Jesuits were re-established in Austria, he zealously supported the projects of the Government, which were highly favourable to the interests of the Church. He lent his powerful aid to the Primate of Hungary, Cardinal Szeitowsky, who succeeded in obtaining the reinstatement of the Jesuits in that portion of the empire, and founding the noviciate at Tyrnan. Being sent to the assembly summoned at Rome in 1853, to choose a successor to Father Roothan, he was elected Superior of the Order. The success of the Jesuits since that time, especially in non-Catholic countries, is due, in no slight degree, to the ability and foresight of Father Beckx. Besides some minor writings and occasional discourses, he has published a "Month of Mary" (Vienna, 1843), which has passed through numerous editions, and been translated into many languages.

# Maurine And Other Poems/The Voluptuary

Oh, I am sick of love reciprocated,  Of hopes fulfilled, ambitions gratified. Life holds no thing to be anticipated,  And I am sad from being satisfied.
The eager joy felt climbing up a mountain  Has left me now the highest point is gained. The crystal spray that fell from Fame’s fair fountain  Was sweeter than the waters were when drained.
The gilded apple which the world calls pleasure,  And which I purchased with my youth and strength, Pleased me a moment. But the empty treasure  Lost all its lustre, and grew dim at length.
And love, all glowing with a golden glory,  Delighted me a season with its tale. It pleased the longest, but at last the story,  So oft repeated, to my heart grew stale.
I lived for self, and all I asked was given,  I have had all, and now am sick of bliss, No other punishment designed by Heaven  Could strike me half so forcibly as this.
I feel no sense of aught but enervation  In all the joys my selfish aims have brought, And know no wish but for annihilation,  Since that would give me freedom from the thought
Oh, blest is he who has some aim defeated;  Some mighty loss to balance all his gain. For him there is a hope not yet completed;  For him hath life yet draughts of joy and pain.
But cursed is he who has no balked ambition,  No hopeless hope, no loss beyond repair, But sick and sated with complete fruition,  Keeps not the pleasure even of despair.
# Maurine And Other Poems/True Culture

The highest culture is to speak no ill, The best reformer is the man whose eyes Are quick to see all beauty and all worth; And by his own discreet, well-ordered life, Alone reproves the erring.
When thy gaze Turns in on thine own soul, be most severe. But when it falls upon a fellow-man Let kindliness control it; and refrain From that belittling censure that springs forth From common lips like weeds from marshy soil.
# Maurine And Other Poems/“Love is Enough”

Love is enough. Let us not ask for gold.  Wealth breeds false aims, and pride and selfishness; In those serene, Arcadian days of old  Men gave no thought to princely homes and dress, The gods who dwelt on fair Olympia’s height Lived only for dear love and love’s delight. Love is enough.
Love is enough. Why should we care for fame?  Ambition is a most unpleasant guest: It lures us with the glory of a name  Far from the happy haunts of peace and rest. Let us stay here in this secluded place Made beautiful by love’s endearing grace! Love is enough.
Love is enough. Why should we strive for power?  It brings men only envy and distrust. The poor world’s homage pleases but an hour,  And earthly honours vanish in the dust. The grandest lives are ofttimes desolate; Let me be loved, and let who will be great. Love is enough.
Love is enough. Why should we ask for more?  What greater gift have gods vouchsafed to men? What better boon of all their precious store  Than our fond hearts that love and love again? Old love may die; new love is just as sweet; And life is fair and all the world complete: Love is enough!
# Maurine And Other Poems/The Story

They met each other in the glade—  She lifted up her eyes; Alack the day! Alack the maid!  She blushed in swift surprise. Alas! alas! the woe that comes from lifting up the eyes.
The pail was full, the path was steep—  He reached to her his hand; She felt her warm young pulses leap,  But did not understand. Alas! alas! the woe that comes from clasping hand with hand.
She sat beside him in the wood—  He wooed with words and sighs; Ah! love in Spring seems sweet and good,  And maidens are not wise. Alas! alas! the woe that comes from listing lovers sighs.
The summer sun shone fairly down,  The wind blew from the south; As blue eyes gazed in eyes of brown,  His kiss fell on her mouth. Alas! alas! the woe that comes from kisses on the mouth.
And now the autumn time is near,  The lover roves away, With breaking heart and falling tear,  She sits the livelong day. Alas! alas! for breaking hearts when lovers rove away.
# Maurine And Other Poems/The Two Glasses

There sat two glasses filled to the brim,  On a rich man’s table, rim to rim.  One was ruddy and red as blood, And one was clear as the crystal flood.
Said the glass of wine to his paler brother, “Let us tell tales of the past to each other; I can tell of a banquet, and revel, and mirth, Where I was king, for I ruled in might; For the proudest and grandest souls on earth Fell under my touch, as though struck with blight. From the heads of kings I have torn the crown; From the heights of fame I have hurled men down. I have blasted many an honoured name; I have taken virtue and given shame; I have tempted the youth with a sip, a taste, That has made his future a barren waste. Far greater than any king am I, Or than any army beneath the sky. I have made the arm of the driver fail, And sent the train from the iron rail. I have made good ships go down at sea, And the shrieks of the lost were sweet to me. Fame, strength, wealth, genius before me fall; And my might and power are over all! Ho, ho! pale brother,” said the wine, “Can you boast of deeds as great as mine?” Said the water-glass: “I cannot boast Of a king dethroned, or a murdered host, But I can tell of hearts that were sad By my crystal drops made bright and glad; Of thirsts I have quenched, and brows I have laved; Of hands I have cooled, and souls I have saved. I have leapt through the valley, dashed down the mountain, Slept in the sunshine, and dripped from the fountain. I have burst my cloud-fetters, and dropped from the sky, And everywhere gladdened the prospect and eye; I have eased the hot forehead of fever and pain; I have made the parched meadows grow fertile with grain. I can tell of the powerful wheel of the mill,
That ground out the flour, and turned at my will. I can tell of manhood debased by you, That I have uplifted and crowned anew. I cheer, I help, I strengthen and aid; I gladden the heart of man and maid; I set the wine-chained captive free, And all are better for knowing me.”
These are the tales they told each other, The glass of wine and its paler brother, As they sat together, filled to the brim, On a rich man’s table, rim to rim.
# Maurine And Other Poems/“Carlos”

Last night I knelt low at my lady’s feet. One soft, caressing hand played with my hair, And one I kissed and fondled. Kneeling there, I deemed my meed of happiness complete.
She was so fair, so full of witching wiles— Of fascinating tricks of mouth and eye; So womanly withal, but not too shy— And all my heaven was compassed by her smiles.
Her soft touch on my cheek and forehead sent, Like little arrows, thrills of tenderness Through all my frame. I trembled with excess Of love, and sighed the sigh of great content.
When any mortal dares to so rejoice, I think a jealous Heaven, bending low, Reaches a stern hand forth and deals a blow. Sweet through the dusk I heard my lady’s voice.
“My love!” she sighed, “my Carlos!” even now I feel the perfumed zephyr of her breath Bearing to me those words of living death, And starting out the cold drops on my brow.
For I am Paul—not Carlos! Who is he That, in the supreme hour of love’s delight, Veiled by the shadows of the falling night, She should breathe low his name, forgetting me?
I will not ask her! ’twere a fruitless task, For, woman-like, she would make me believe Some well-told tale; and sigh, and seem to grieve, And call me cruel. Nay, I will not ask.
But this man Carlos, whosoe’er he be, Has turned my cup of nectar into gall, Since I know he has claimed some one or all Of these delights my lady grants to me.
He must have knelt and kissed her, in some sad And tender twilight, when the day grew dim. How else could I remind her so of him?
Why, reveries like these have made men mad!
He must have felt her soft hand on his brow. If Heaven were shocked at such presumptuous wrongs, And plunged him in the grave, where he belongs, Still she remembers, though she loves me now.
And if he lives, and meets me to his cost, Why, what avails it? I must hear and see That curst name “Carlos” always haunting me— So has another Paradise been lost.
