munity? The courts have ever been
and are today the bulwarks Of the rul-
ing class. Why should they not pun
ish offenders against that class?
In feudaI slavery the courts sus-
tained tho feudal lords, in chattel .lav-
cry they protected the slave owners,
and in wage slavery they defend the
industrial masters.
Whoever protests for the sake Of JUS
t1ce or in the name of the future is
an enemy Of society and is prosecuted
or put to death.
In one of the most eloquent charac-
terizations Of history Charles Sumner,
tracing the march Of the centuries,
pointed out that the most Infamous
crimes against the liberty and progress
of the human race had been sanctioned
by the so called courts Of Justice.
Truth Will Triumph In tho End.
This case is mere incident in the
mighty struggle of the masses for
emancipation. Slowly. painfully, pro-
ceeds the struggle Of man against the
power Of Mammon. The past is writ
ten in tears and blood. The future
is dim and unknown, but the final out
come Of this worldwide struggle Is
not in doubt. Freedom will conquer
slavery. truth will prevail over error,
justice will triumph over injustice, the
light will vanquish the darkness, and
splendent in the glory of universal
brotherhood.

Convicted by Jury Of Republicans.


I was convicted by jury composed
Of partisan Republicans. 1t was shown
by competent evidence introduced in
this court today that two of the jurors
had expressed hostile and prejudicial
sentiments against me. Aftidavits
herewith filed show that one Of the
jurors, Mr.. Nelson, became deathly
sick in the jury room, and he affirms
that It was because of this sickness
and his fear Of death unless medical
attention could be secured that he was
forced into voting for a conviction
Again it is shown by competent evi
dence introduced at this hearing that
the principal witness for the govern
ment, Ex-Governor Taylor, made state
ments which were untrue. He stated
that at the time the reward which
offered was circulated through the
mails he was not fugitive from jus
t1ce nor was there any charge pending
against him of a criminal nature in
Kentucky. Affidavits, state records and
letters signed by Taylor himself, all
on file in this court, show that Tay.
lor had been indicted and that for
seven years prior to the offer Of our
reward he had been fugitive from
Justice with price on his head. 1t is
