You sat here. and listened to the de-
PENDANTS plea of guilty when he was ar
raigned at the opening of this term,
but the law of our State will not permit
him to plead guilty to such a crime as
this. The law is so careful of the rights
of its citizens that it viii net permit a
man to plead guilty 10 this crime Of
murder so that. even after he had con-
coded his guilt, in this case, it was in
cumbent upon the court to insist that
the trial should proceed and that the
people should establish beyond a rea-

DANGERS OF LYNCH LAW.

Gentlemen of the jury, while | be-
lieve firmly in that, | do not believe
it creates a danger to this country
equal to the belief, becoming SO com
mon that men who are charged with a
crime shall not be permitted to go
through the form of a trial in a court
of Justice but that lynch law shall take
the place of the calm and dignified adj
ministration of the law by our courts
of Justice.
when that doctrine becomes suffi-
GENTLY prevalent in this country IL it
ever does, our institutions will be set
aside and overthrow and If we are
not misinformed as to the stare Of
mind of some people in some parts of
our country. the time is fast approach
ing when men charged with crime will
not be permitted to come into court
and submit to a calm and dignifie1
trial but will be strung up to a tree on
the bare suspicion that some one may
hold the belief that they have commit
ted some crime.
at is not long since | read in a pa
per that a colored man in the South
had his life taken because he had in
suited a white man. What 1t was the

TWO MORE CHARGES.

Just before they did SO. however, Dis
trict Attorney Penney requested the
judge to charge the jury that the law
presumes every individual sane unless
proven otherwise and the court said to
them:
"The law presumes the defendant in
this case sane"
Lawyer Titus also asked the court to
charge the jury that If they were salts
fed from the evidence that at the time
of the committal of the assault the de-
PENDANT was laboring under such de-
feet of reason as not TO know the quail
ity of the act or that it was wrong. he
was not responsible and the jury must
acquit.

WORSE THAN ANARCHISTS.

81 suggest, gentlemen, that class of
the community who are crying out in
our cities and are sending letters to
lawyers suggesting that the man who
is charged with the crime that this de-
PENDANT is should not be permitted to
have a trial before court of justice
are a more dangerous class to the COM
munity than the anarchists about
whom we read so much.
Now it is the duty of every Amer
lean citizen or every good man to stand
firmly by the law and put his voice
against any idea that man should be
punished for any crime until he Is
proven guilty in court beyond any rea-
sonable doubt.
MY associate and myself are here
to uphold the law. Some weak-mfhded
people entertain the notion that the
lawyer who appears in defense of de-
PENDANT is in court to obstruct the due
process of the law. to balk justice and
to delay by technicalities. But every
man who knows the members of the
bar understands that this is not so.
