BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY Mr.. Crlttcn
den, OF Kentucky, was at time dc
lending II man who had been indicted
for a capital o|iIcnsc. After an elabO
rate and powerful defense, he closed
his effort with the following striking
and beautiful allegory:
"Whrn God in his eternal council
conceived the thought of mans crca
ton, he called to him the three minis
tiers who constantly wait upon the
thrnne-Justicc, Truth and Mercy -
and thus addressed them shall We
make man p Then said Justice, Oh,
God, make him not, for he will tramplc
the laws Truth made answer
also, %. God, make him not, for he
will pollute Thy sanctulrics." But
Mere, dropping upon her knees, and
looking up through her tears, ex
claimed, %, God, make him; | will
watch over him with my care through
all the dark paths which he may have
to tread Then God made man, and
said to him, %. man, thou art the
child of Mercy ; go and deal with thy
brother"
The jury, when he had finished, was
drowned in tears, and against evidence,
and what must have been their own
convictions, brought in Il verdict OF
not guilty.
