The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1907-11-21
A CLEAR CASE.
County Auditor

Eminent Lawyer-Gentlemen of the
jury, according to all the testimony
presented, the evidence against my
client is purely circumstantial. A
murder was committed, and the au-
topsy showed that deceased had been
hit by a club. A few persons saw my
client standing over the PROSTATE
man. My client had a club in his
hand. The club was bloody. He was
seen to strike, or, l should say, gently
tap the PROSTATE man a few times
with the aforesaid club; but, gentle
men of the jury, remember the injus-
tic which has been done in the sad,
regretted, unrecoverable past, and be
cautious. Remember the hundreds
of innocent men who would have suf-
fered u~njustly if, at the last moment,
some happy circumstance had not
thrown doubt on their guilt. Now,
gentlemen, it is very evident to me
that my client, in returning to his
peaceful home from a prayer-meeting,
or something, just happened to see
the deceased committing suicide by
beating himself on the head with a
club, and my benevolent client, true
to instincts of humanity, rushed up,
jerked the fatal club away, and play
fully patted him with it as an admoni-
ton that he should not try to COM
nit suicide again.
Verdict of Jury-Not guilty.-N. Y.
