fines the Law aud Their Duhes.

| fendant stooe In the Temple Of Music
| that Afternoon and shot dUWn our be-
] loved President. We nave shown you
; how he deliberated ana planned this
awful crime. We have shown you how
he attended anarchists and sUcialistic
meetings at which were soNn IN his
heart the seeds of his terrible act.
The counsel for the defense says If
the defendant was sane he was re-
sponslble, and that II he was insane
ne must be presumed 10 be innocent.
lie tells you that this Is a presumption
Of law.
II IL also a presumption Of law that
every man is sane until he is proven
insane. Evidence tending TO show that
the prisoner was insane has not been
forthcoming; 1t has been proven that
he was the agent Of the crime and there
should be no question IN your minds as
to the responsibility Of the defendant.
This Is no time for oratorlcal dis
play. Counsel for the prisoner and my
self have endeavored TO eliminate ali
ens.tionalism from this case 1t Is not
my intention to indulge in extended re-
marks, You understand the RESPONSE
bilty resting upon you, The counsel
has said there should be no lynch law
In this state. He has told you that the
people Of Buffalo are TO be commended
for the spirit displayed by them since
the murder OF the President, but the
law must be indicated.
This terrible thing has happened be-
cause there are people In this country
who do not respect our laws, and I'M
less they feel their irresistible force Of
prompt and proper action in this case
something awful will happen TO our be-
loved country.
Think. gentlemen, Of that grand man
who stood only a few days ago in the
Temple of Music, and how he came
from the lowly walks Of life, how he
was as a school teacher, then a law
yer. then Judge governor. a con-
gresham and then President Of the
United States, and above all a loving
husband, and that on TO the last day
when he said: ITS Gods way: good
bye ALL goodbye" a man so great that
he could raise his hand and save his
own assassin, man who could shake
the hand Of even the very worst man
you could imagine.
II Is great lesson that 80 great a
man can stoop so low, that he WINS so
great that he could forgive his own as
sassin. He was the noblest man, I be-
lieve, God ever created. A man who
stood near him in the Temple OF Music
said to me, II have travelled In all
parts Of the world and have seen peo-
pie assembled to greet their rulers, bur
when l saw the people 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. l was convinced as
never before that there is such a thing
as a national heart"
The national heart was broken and II
viii take Gods way and time 10 heal
II. II was broken by a class OF people
who are coming to our country In in
creasing numbers, and while harbored
by our laws are propagatlng their ma
licious views, a class OF people that
must be taught that we have no place
for them on our shores. class OF peo-
pie that must be taught that they can
not take the life Of any one irrespec-
tive of consequences
Think again. gentlemen, here is a
man who does not want a lawyer, who
does not believe in God, nor In law.
a man who does not believe I'm the
married relation-yet our laws are
such that he Is defended by two OF the
ablest jurists in our city. as II he were
the most respected defendant. and even
comes into court and sayslhe is guilty.
Yet. gentlemen. you are required, under
the constitution, TO listen TO the for
nal presentation Of the evidence. not
'plthstanding that this man does not
Fant IL.
Gentlemen. have said all have to
say. | have said more, PERHAPS. than
] ought to say You have sworn TO
give him a fair trial on the evidence.
Now. what Is the evidence? | saw ms
II has been presented TO you It fully
substantiates the crime charged.
The duty OF counsel on both sides Is
ended. The court win charge YOU
briefly. then II VIII be your duty TO
take up the case. No doubt the same
thought, the same object Is In all our
mlnds-that although our beloved
country has lost her greatest man, Il
still should maintain the respect OF the
whole world and II should be made
known TO the world that no man can
come and commit such a dastardly act
and not receive the full penalty OF the
law.
During the addresses to the court.
Czolgosz sat with flushed face, his
head slightly inclined to one side.
CHARGE TO THE JURY.
Justice White began his charge TO
the jury az 1929. lie arose and stepped
10 the side Of the bench nearest the
jury box lie said:
Gentlemen Of the Jury:-In this case
the defendant has acknowledged his
guilt. Such an acknowledgement IN
such circumstances cannot 20 90 the
jury or the court. The law requires
that the defendant charged with such
q crime must be tried, The law SAYS
that all the facts must he observed and
reviewed by you. The law guarantees
that the defendant shall have n fair
trial by twelve men, impartial and
fair. capable OF taking the testimony
OF the trial and giving II thorough
consideration. II, when all the circum-
stances Of the case are considered by
you, there etill exists In your minds a
reasonable doubt that the defendant Is
guilty. you cannot end this man
guilty. The people have sumbitted
evidence tending 90 show that this man
committed this crime. they have given
evidence tending 10 show that II was
premeditated. II you are satisfied that
there was design and generalization,
and II, In accordance with that pre-
meditation and design, these shots were
fired, then the defendant II guilty OF
the crime Of murder In the FIRST degree.
You must consider all this evidence
that the people have submitted 20 you.
You must consider Il fairly and with
Of facts In this case.
The Jurors must End him guilty he.
