Ing to the dignity Of manhood, who could
have tamely heard the mother who bore him
assaied in language too vile to be repeated,
let that despicabie creature throw the first
stone at the avenger Of the grossest insult
ever offered to woman. Let those who are

case make 1t their own Let them consider
what they would themselves have been i'm

been subjected to brutal insult before public
