A solemn hush fell over the
crowded courtroom, and every per-
son waited in solemn GREATNESS ex-
pectation for the answer to the
judges question.
The judge waited with a dignified
silence.
Not a whisper was heard. The
situation was painfully oppressive,
when the prisoner was seen to move,
his head raised, and his hand clinch-
ed, and the blood rushed into his
dull, careworn face.
Suddenly he arose to his feet, and
in a low, but distinct voice said:
Il have! Your honor, you have
asked me question, and now ask,
as the last favor on earth, that you
will not interrupt my answer until |
am through.
l. stand here, before this bar,
convicted of the wilful murder of
my wife Truthful witnesses have
testified to the fact that | was a
drunkard, a wretch; that | returned
from one ofmy prolon5e de5auches
and fired the fatal shot that killed
my wife | had sworn to love, cherish
and protect
While | have no remembrance
of committing the fatal deed, | have
no right to condemn the verdict OF
the twelve good men who have act
ed as jury in this case, for the YER
dict is in accordance with, the ev;-
dence. y
But may it please. the court, l.
wish to show that I am not alone
responsible for the murder of my
wife,"
This startling statement created
tremendous sensation. The judge
leaned over the desk, the lawyers
wheeled around and faced the pris
oner, the jurors looked at each other
in amazement, while the spectators
could hardly suppress their intense
excitement.
The prisoner paused a few sec
onds and then continued in the same
firm distinct voice:
Il repeat your honor, that | am
not the only one guilty of the muir
der of my wife.
The judge on this bench, the jury
in the box, the lawyers within this
bar, and most Of the witnesses, in
Guiding the pastor of the old church
are also guilty before Almighty God,
and will have to stand with me be-
fore His Judgment Throne, where
we shall be righteously judged.
If it had not been for the saloons
of my town, never would have be-
come a drunkard, my wife would
not have been murdered, | would
not be here now, ready to be hurled
into eternity! Had it not been for
the inhuman traps, | would have
been a sober man and an industrious
workman, a tender father and a
loving husband. But today my
home is destroyed, my wife muir
dered, my little children!-God bless
and care for them!-cast out upon
the mercy of the worldwide |
am to be hung by the strong arm Of
the state!
God knows l tried to reform, but
as long as the open saloon was in
my pathway, my weak diseased,
will power was no match against
the fearful, cosuming, agonizing ap-
petite for liquor. For one year our
town was without a saloon. For
one year my wife and children we're
happy and our little home was a
paradise.
II was one of those who signed
circumstances against the reopening
of the saloons of our tWon. One-half
of this jury, the prosecuting attorney
on this case, and the judge who sits
on this bench, all voted for the sa-
looms! By their votes and influence
