suits. He instructed them that the higher
the crime the more stringent should be their

that the defendants avoidance Of publicity
to the charge raised was no presumption of
guilt, and that the letter of contrition did
not import adultery on its face or prove it,
for it did not specify any act real or sup
posed that the party had in his mind, and
that the same remark applies to other let

confession was to be considered. but in con-
