Judge Cox then proceeded to pass SEN
tence, addressing the prisoner - tOl-
lows: "You have been convicted OF q
crime 30 terrible In Ito consequences
and 80 far-reaching In ito result that 1t
has dawn upon you the horror OF the
whole world and the excavation OF your
countrymen. The excitement pro-
duced by such an 0ffense made 1t no
easy tack tn secure for you y :air and
impartial trial. but you have had the
power Of the U. s. treasury and OF the
Government in your service to protect
your person from violence and to pro-
cure evidence from all parts Of the coun-
try. You have had ~ fair and Impair
tial jury as ever assembled In court
Of justice. You have been defended BY
counsel with zeal and devotion that
merits the highest encomtum and | Ger
tainly have done my best to secure q
fair presentation of your defense. Not
withdrawing this you have been found
guilty. It would have been q comfort
to MANY people if the verdict Of the jury
had established the fact that your crime
was the act Of an irresponsible man
It would have left the people in the sat
isfyin. belief that crime for political
assassination was something foreign to
the institutions and civilization Of our
country, but the result has denied them
that comfort. The country will accept
it as u fact that cdine has been cDnl-
united, and the court will have to deal
with it with the highest penalty known to
the criminal code tn serve ~ an example
to Others. Your career has been 50 ex-
traOrtlinary that the people might we'll
ut times have doubted your sanity, but
one cannot but believe that when the
crime was committed you thoroughly
understood the nature Of the crime and
its consequences
(;uitealI-''I was acting as Gods man,
and had no moral sense ami CON
science enough to recognize the moral
ini.,llity Of such an act"
Prisoner That's matter of Opin-
iOll."
"YOur own testimony shows that you
rccoiletl with horror from the idea. You
! say that you prayed against it. You say
that you thought it might have been
prevented. This shows your conscience
warned you against it, but BY the
wrctche'l sOpl,istry If your own mind
you worked yourself up against the prr
test Of your own conscience. What mo
tive could have induced you to this,
act: 1t must BE- u nIatter Of con; lecture.
Probably men vii think that some fam.
atheism or morbid desire iOr self
exaltatiOn WAS the real inspiration
for the act. Your own testimony seem.
to c,ntrOvert the theories If your cOlln.
sri. IIlty nave maintained, and thought
honestly, believe, that you were driven
against your will by an insane impulse.
The testimony showed that you delilNr.
atcly resolved 10 do it and that your de-
lilerate and misguided will was the sole
impulse. This may seem insanity tO
some PERSONS. hut the law looks upon ii
rs Il wilful crime. You will have due
opportunity ri having any errors may
have committed in the course Of this
trial passed. upon Ivy the court in lane
hut meanwhile it Is necessary for me tn
pronounce the sentence of the law
that yOu I've taken hence to the common
Jail Of tho District, from whence you
came, and there H. kept in cOnfinc-
ment, and on Friday, the :hth day OF
June, l&S::.. you will h. taken to Il place
prepared for your execution within the
walls of said Jail, and there, between
the hours Of l! and :. p. M, you t,c
hanged ~ the neck until you are dead,
and may the Lord have mercy on your
soul" During the reading :uiteau
stONNl apparently unmOved and with his
gaze rivctesl upon the judge, hut when
the last words were spoken he struck
the table violently and shouted, ''-Am,l
may the Lord have mercy on your soul.
/ would rather stand where I 10 than
where that jury do and where your hon

stand here a. Coils man, who ha.i u

L;arfield's removal, and that will liz the
verdict If lnsterity on my inspiration.
I don't care snap for the verdict If
this corrupt generation. l would rather
u thousand times liz in my position than
