Jim's Sentence and the Talking
to He got from the Judge.

Jtm's Sentence and the Talking
to He got from the Judge.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The story printed recently of the
opinion delivered by the United States
Territorial Judgein Wyoming, wherein
he told the convict, who was sentenced
to be hanged on the third Friday in
June, that he might take comfort from
the fact that the wisest of modern
philosophers doubted whether life was
worth living under any circumstances:
is countered by convenient parallel
which occurred in Southeast Missouri
last February. Thestory would never
have been known but that an at
torney of St. Louis, William r.
Walker, was present at the time when
case of his own was disposed of in
the following languages:
''The decree of the Supreme Court
affirming the Judgment of the Court
Of Common Pleas is set aside"
The sapient Missouri Judge who thus
set aside the Judgment of the Supreme
Court of the State, on the same day
delivered the following exhortation Of
highway robbery:
"Jim, stand up! The jury that tried
you found you guilty of hi hMay rob-
berry, and assessed your punishment
at Is years in the penitentiary. You
had a fair trial. The two young law
yers l assigned to you as counsel did
everything for you that could be done.
Now, don't say you're guilty. l
wouldn't say that. But the circum-
stances are suspicious. Somebody
was robbed on the highway of $40
three twenty-dollar bills and ten
dollar bill. 1t was proved you changed
two twenty dollar bills shortly after.
and your wife changed another, ana
you didn't show how you came by these
bills. Now,if had been accused of this
ottense unjustly,I would have said:
why, got this money from so and so,
and then call that person as witness
But you didn't do that. and your case
looks bad. However, if you are inno-
cent, think what a satisfaction it will be
toyou as you enter the penitentiary to
feel in your breast that you are an in
nocent man! And now, let me give you
a piece of advice. You have only got
a sentence OF Is years. Had you been
white man the jury would have given
you a much larger sentence. But we
white people have compassion on you
colored people. We remember your
want of education and make allow
ances for you. My advice is, behave
yourself while you are in the peniten-
tiary. If you do you will have tc
serve only IL years and months.
Think of that. Ii you do behave the
Warden will at the end of that time re-
port to the Governor, and he will par.
don you. Mind you, the Governor has
no discretion when the Warden makes
his favorable report. He's got to do
it, and | don't suppose the Governor
would shirk his duty. Sit down, JIM"
