Imprisonment as he had not asked
for or consented to such Communication.
Decision was reserved
The scene in court while the con-
demncd man pleaded his cause with
all the fervor of a trained lawyer was
sensational
Assistant District Attorney Taylor,
in reply said that Patrick should
either accept the sentence of life inn
prisonment, or. if he did not accept
it, the only thing left to do was to
electrocute him
Patrick's plea throughout was i'm
passioned Much of it appeared to
be addressed rather to the crowd in
the court room than 10 the court and
at one time Justice Jenkins reminded
him he should speake to the court
The prisoner referred bitterly to
the manner in which he alleges JUS
tice was dispensed in these modern
times" He declared that the pros
ecuting officers nowadays protect
the rich, oppress the poor and pick
out the men whom they wish to pros
ecute.'
Patrick closed his appeal by urging
the court not to take an impre esson-
istic" view of the law. when you
decide this case. he said. "be sure,
either that | am an innocent man and
should go free, or else that | am q
scoundrel and deserve to do down to
my fate Then the people Will be sat
isfied with your decision"
In the course of the three hours
strain Patrick broke the decorum OF
the court but once That was when
the assistant district attorney said;
This relator can not avail himself
of the Communication of his death SEN
tence and at the same time refuse the
alternative punishment"
Il want liberty or death" interpos-
ed Patrick. that is all.
