AS TO this man, he sits here confessed
criminal. Counsel on the other side could
not defend him. He is condemned out of
his own mouth, and from his own words
is traitor. yet we have heard that there

IF you don't act properly shall have
you put in irons and gagged, sir! You
cannot bulldoze this court"
At this Worden jumped up and, shaking
his fist in the Judges face. cried hoarsely:
