The people of this country love their
institutions. They love their homes; they
love their property. They will never con.
h,
Institutions shall be broken down, their
homes despoed and their property de-
stroyed. And The people are strong enough
10 protect and sustain their institutions and
to punish all offenders against their laws
and those who threaten danger to civil
society, if the law is enforced, are leading
to destruction whoever may attempt 10 exc
cute such threats. The existing order of
society can be changed only by the will of
tire majority. Each man has the right to
| entertain and advocate, by speech and
print, such opinions as suits himself, and
the great body of the people will usually
care little what he says. But il he pro.
poses murder as a means of enforcing
them he puts his own life at stake,
and no camor about free speech, OF
the evils TO be cured, or the wrongs
to be redressed, will shield him from
the consequences of his crime. His lib
city is not license to destroy. The toler-
alton that he enjoys he must extend to
Others, and not assume that the great
majority are wrong and may rightfully be
coerced by terror or removed by dynamite.
1t only remains that for the crime you have
committed. and of which you have been
convicted, after a trial uneXa,9p!ed in the
patience with which an outraged people
have extended to you every protection and
privilege of the law which you derided and
deiied, that the sentence of the law be new
given. In form and detail that sentence
will appear upon the records of the court.
In substance and effect it is that the defend
ant Neebe be imprisoned in the State Peni-
Tertiary al Joliet at hard labor for the term
of fifteen years. And that each of the
defendants, between the hours of ten
O'Clock in The forenoon and two o'clock in
