Judge Hickerson's Sen
tence Of Death IN the
case Of the State
rc Gi1ho.4
VS.. Gilbert.

VS.. Gilbert.
Addressing the prisoner the
court said--"Stand upi After
a long and patient Investigation
of the charge brought by the
State Of Tennessee against you,
you have been found guilty of
murder in the first degree. 1t is
my painful and solemn duty to
repeat to you the verdict Of the
jury and pronounce the SEN
ftence Of the law. The able
counsel who have so faithfully
and earnestly represented you
and plead your cause, have asked
for Il new trial, and | have dill
gently sought to find some suf-
ficient cause for which [ would
be unsuitable in granting the
new trial, but have sought in
vain. | have searched my own
mind and am satisfied of your
guilt.
"The killino Of flat old blind
man is without excuse. 1t is
scarcely within the range Of
possibility that the act could
have been committed in your
necessary sell-dcfence, ana the
proof conclusively shows that
it was not so committed. Some
proof has been adduccd that
long anterior to the killing You
acted strangely, by way Of
showing that you were not sane
at the time of the killing, but
there is no proof Of insanity at
the time, or for a number Of
years preceding, or since the
killing. The proof shows that
at the time you killed old man
johnson you stated that you
had killed him in sclf-dclencc,
and that you would come to
Fayetteville and submit your
case. These declarations are
inconsistent with the plea Of
insanity.
''The only security and safety
for the rights of person and
property of the citizen lies in ii
faithful administration Of the
law. In this every good and
true citizen has deep and a.
b;ding interest. By this course
alone can mob law be prevented
with all Of its horrors. Remem-
Der that it is not the court nor
the jury that pronounces you
guilty, but the LAW. With the
consequences the court and tie
jury have nothing to do. They
can do nothing more than to
faithfully discharge the duties
imposed upon them by the Ia'c.
There is a revising court to
which you have right to APP
peal, and l trust if there is any
error in the proceedings here,
it may be found and that you
will get a new trial; but | will
say you not to be too sanguine
of this, and admonish you to
make that preparation for the
future life which we all should
make. If from any cause you
should escape, the preparation
will do you no harm. And
without saying more, it is the
sentence Of the lar, that the
sheriff of Lincoln county, on
Friday, the 9th day of August,
1875, between the hours of 10
o'clock a. M, and 3 o'clock p.
M, within one mile Of the court
house, take you from the jail
and hang you blythe neck till
