This was his only crime, but III the Judgment " TIE
Know othinss of Massachusetts,, 1t was enough 10
disquality him for any public employment ana eVento
degrade him in the confidence OF society. Henry D.
Gardner, the Know-Sothing tiovsraor Of Massaehu-

the warrant OF execution.
The attack on the independence OF the judiciary
implied in this act strikes Mt the foundation oi
