summary of the evidence as il apreared |
to him, and concluded as follows: snow,
gentlemen, tho responsibility is with |
you. The fate of these men is in your |
hands-in your hands, in your keeping;
everything they love, everything they |
hold dear, is in your power. With this |
fearful responsibility you have no right |
to listen TO the whispers of suspicion.
You have no right to pause to |
Beware Of prejudice. Look to the tes-
timony alone. Be not convinced by the |
last argument. Listen not to epithets |
instead of acts. Recall every argument |
made in this case. Put the evidence in /
the scale, and than have the honor and |
the manhood to say which scale goes |
down. We ask from You mercy and an |
honest vsrdiot. That is all We ask. II is |

shall live with honor among their fell
low citizens, whether they shall live in |
tho free air, or be taken from their |
wives, from their children, from their |
tiresides, from all they hold most dear. |
Il is for you to say whether they shall |
be clothed with honor or with shame; /
whether the day shall set without sin
gle star in all the sky Of eternal night; |
whether they shall be branded as Grim
mails after ali they have suffered; after
they have been pursued by the Govern
ment as no defendants before have
been pursued. 1t is for you
to say whether their homes
shall be blasted, their future
shall be an agony of grief tears. Moth
ing beneath the stars OF heaven is so
profound wreck as a human being.
Nothing is 80 profoundly mournful as a
home covered With shame. Nothing is
as infinitely sad as thing that shall |
cast stain upon children as yet un-
born. II is for you to say whether this
shall be such q verdict, or one in acoor-
dance with the law and the facts. The
prosecution is heated with the |
chase. They are excited with the
h1nt, but will say that in |
the end they will be thousand times
better pleased with the verdict of |
