way or other. each man is to decide TO,
himself. There are twelve units of minds up
on this jury. The evidence is to have its Cf
feet upon each by himself, and the response
bility is upon each man, just the same a
though he stood alone upon this jury. There
is no such thing, gentlemen, as throwing til,
responsibility that rests upon you, upon an
other. 1t is your judgment which must de-
termine this question, and l claim if we hav,
convinced either of your minds that this maj
was in that condition of mind that he wa.
ontrolled by an impulse, that was Irresistible
under the provocation he had, that he is not
responsible, claim we have right to tina
opinion, and that the man who has it has nj
right TO yield that conviction to an
other, ifhonestly convinced. 1t honestly con.
vincea, would yield, but never until con-
vinccd. There is propriety in yielding the
other way. 1t is maxim of the law as ole
rs the law itself, that it is better that ninety
nine guilty men should escape, than that on,
innocent man should be punished; and if any
of you are convinced in your hearts that th.
defence is established, it is your duty to ad-
here to it. If sat in your seat and was thus
convinced, | would sit in my seat till Gabriel's
last trump summoned me to the courts above.
ere | would yield my opinion to any: person
or under any influence.
Let me say, in conclusion, gentlemen, that
the homes of your State appeal to you in this
trial. BY your verdict, if convinced that adul'
te,y committed, that this man had tn,
provocation that say he had, if it is estab-
lished and | cannot doubt it, by your yer.
dict you are to determine and show your val.
uation; the valuation you put upon the hus
bands home; you are to show the value you
give to the sanctty OF the marital relations, the
purify OF your wives, mothers and daughters
Gentlemen, as you revere your sainted moth
ers, as you love your wives and daughters, as
you cherish the fondest affections, and hope
for them in the future, as you cherish love
for the moral purity, of the atmosphere o.
your community, pray you give such a YER
dict as shall say to the adulterer and libertine
''if you pursue your wicked course, the law
shall not intervene to save you from the
avenging hand of an outraged husband anc
father"
Thanking you for the very kind and marked
attention you have given me, leave you ant
leave this prisoner in your hands, with the
fullest confidence that your verdict will be ir
accordance with the long line of verdicts il
this and other countries which l have read to
you. and in accordance with the honest feeling
of the moral community around you. and the
desire of every well wisher of society and the
community.
