me: I have Travelled in all parts of the
world. and have seen people assembled to
greet their rulers, but when saw the peo-
pie stand in the railroad stations and along
the country through which the funeral
train passed that they might get look at
the casket Of this great man. I was con-

thing as a national heart

'"rhat national heart was broken, and It
will take Gods way and time to heal it. It
was broken by a class of people who are
coming to our country in increasing num-
bers. and while harbored by our laws, are
propagating their malicious views, a class
of people that must be taught that We have
no place for them on our shores. a class of

consequences.

that the defendant charged with such a
crime must be tried. The law says that
all the facts must be observed and re-
viewed by the jury. The law guarantees
that the defendant shall have a fair trial

Circumstances of the case are considered
by you there still exists In your minds a
reasonable doubt that the defendant is not
guilty, you cannot find this man guilty.
The people have submitted evidence tend
