nesday sentenced by Judge Dennisto be hung.
In passing sentence the Judge said:
civilian Black, you have been indicted
and convicted in this court for crime the
highest known to the law, more terrible in its
consequences to the victim than murder itself.
You have had fair trial. When you were
arraigned you had no counsel and we en-
ployed counsel for you. We assigned for that
task Mr.. Henry Duffy, a gentleman widely
known for his learning in the criminal law.
He conducted your defense with zeal, courage
and ability, but he could do nothing for you.
The case against you was made out SO perfect,
~ that there never was the shadow of doubt
in the minds of the judges who tried you as to
your guilt
II have but few words to say to you, and
they are: Not to delude yourself with the idea
of hope of pardon or mercy. There is no
room or mercy in this world for such as you,
and in the few short hours left you prepare to
meet your God.
civilian Black. the sentence of the court
is that you be taken hence to the Baltimore
city Jail, whence you were brought, and there
kept subject to the order of the Sheriff of Har-
ford county, and upon demand of said Sheriff
be delivered over to him, and upon day
named by the Governor of Maryland to be by
said Sheriff hanged by the neck until dead,
and may God have mercy on your soul"
Black received the sentence stoically and
made no comment He has all along insisted
that he is innocent.
