A Remarkable Sentence

One of the most eccentric and al
the same time one of the ablest
judges that ever sat upon the far
Western bench was Kirby Benedict
who for thirteen years was a Justice
of the supreme court fNew Mexi-
co, having been first appointed IN
1858 by President Pierce and reap
pointed by President Buchanan,
and appointed chief justice of the
court by President Lincoln He
was man of great ability and
learning, strong in his prejudices,
violent in his passions and relent-
less in his convictions
There are many anecdotes told
of Judge Benedict. But the crown.
ing act of his judicial career was
sentence Of death passed by him up.
on prisoner convicted of murder,
which was sentenced as follows:
"Jose" Maria Martin, stand up
Jose Maria Martin, you have been
indicted, tried and convicted by a
jury of your couutrymcn of the
crime of murder, and the court is
now about TO pass upon you the
dread sentence of the law. As a
usual thing, Jose Maria Martin, il
is a painful duty for the Judge of a
court of justice to pronounce upon
u human being the sentence of
death. There is something horri-
BILE about it, aud the mind of the
court naturally revolts from the
performance of such duty. Hap
PLY, however, your case is relieved
of all such unpleasantness, and the
court takes positive delight in
sentencing you TO death
"Eou are a young man, Jose
Maria Martin, apparently of good
physical constitution aud robust
health. Ordinarily you might
have looked forward to many
years OF life, and the court has no
doubt you have, and have expected
to die at green old age, but you
arc about TO be cut off as the con
sequence of ycur own act. Jose
Maria Martin, it is now the spring
time; in a little while the grass
will be springing up in this heauti
iul valley, and on these broad
mesas and mountain sides flowers
will be blooming, birds singing
above your lnwly head.
"The sentence of the court is
that you be taken from this place
to the county Jail; that you there
be kept safely and securely con
fined in the custody of the sheriff
until the day appointed for your
execution Be very careful, hr.
Sheriff, that he have no Gpportun.
ity to escape, and that you have
bim at the appointed place at the
appointed time; that you be so
kept, Jose Maria Martin. until

month does Friday about two
weeks from this time conner"
