Great Trials Of History

THAI or SIR THOMAS MORE.

TrliAT Henry WIN. was fieklo to
to men as we'll as to women Is
shown In the trial and execution
of Sir Thomas More. More, when
quite young. waa taken into the FAM
ily OF Cardinal Morton. then arch
bishop Of Canterbury. merely on ac-
count OF his ready wit and pleasing
looks. This same cardinal sent him
first 10 oxford and then to the courts
To study law. Later he grow in great
favor with Henry VII, and as a
proof " his friendship Henry show
cred upon him The greatest honors
that were In his power, among them
the office Of lord high chancellor, 10
which office IL Is said. none ever
filled with greater conscientiousness
Than he
His troubles first began when
Henry was wed to Anne Boleyn. which
wedding More refused To attend. and
SO on May 30. 1884. he thought ft
to deliver the great seal to the king.
on the ground that there were sew
oral troubles and proceedings in court
OF which he ala not approve. soon
after this some Of HE correspond
enco was seized. especially that with
Elizabeth Barton, then called THE
Holy Maid OF Kent subsequently
they were both thrown into prison.
Thomas was kept In the tower FOR
n little less than n year and was
brought to his trial on May z. 1875.
Eight persons were constituted TO try
him. every ono OF them being n
knight. Tho charge was very long,
so long, indeed. that Sir Thomas said
IN reply 90 Il that u was so long that
he could remember but ono-third OF
u. Tho main charge. however, was
his refusing the oath Of succession.
Before tho trial began he was OK
tended tho leave 10 change his opin-
ion and gain favor once more IN the
kings sight. To this Thomas replied
"Most noble lords. I have great rea-
son TO return thanks for your honors
for this your great clvility; but I be-
! scech Almighty God that I continue
in the mind I am In through his de-
Tense. In which he made a loaf
speech concerning as 60 whether n
was criminal TO tell nc's own mind
when fairly and straightly asked.
Most Of the evidence that WAS re.
lied upon was his correspondence
with n certain man named Fisher and
tho alleged conversation that has
taken place In the tower between

ono Of his Judges. Rich and himself.
Owing mainly TO his great lnfirm-
tiles incurred during his imprison-
ment in the tower. More was allowed
TO be seated. Sir Thomas denied The
principal charges with much dignity.
He also swofe that he had never OPP
posed the marriage OF the King TO
hts second wife, Anne Boleyn.
Rich then alleged that More had
advised Fisher 10 disohey the act OF
supremacy. and that also he had de-
scrlbed that act as "a ~tWo-edned
sword. approval Of which ruined the
soul, and disapprovol Of which ruined
the body"
Rich said More was a proyaricator
and a porjuror and he would show u
to the court. But there are hone 50
tllad as they who viii not sec, and
Moro'a evidence was Of no avail. Al
ter hearing this last appeal the Jury
retired and were scarcely out for an
hour when they returned with n vcr-
dict OF guilty, The lord chief Justice
then began 60 give the sentence. but
More 'sarcastically intcrfored and re-
minded tho judge that whcn he was
upon the bench II was the custom TO
ask the prisoner for any reasons hat
he had az TO why tho sentence would
not be carried out.
Checking himself. the judge gave
| More leave to proceed. More made
n strong argument in his defense
but u was decided that he should not
live and so the lord chief Justice SIR
John Fitz-Iamcs. pronounced the
sentence: THAT nc should 6e carried

thence drawn on n hurdle through

should be hanged till half dead. cni

over tho four gates Of the city. and
his head set on London bridge"
Through the mercy of the king,
this sentence was commuted TO one OF
beheadlng which was carried out on
July 6. Before going to the scaffold.
More gave all his fine clothes to his
Taller and on tho scaffold kissed his
exocutioner and gave him a piece ct
sold, saying. "Thou wit do me thts
day n favor greater han ever ans
mortal can do"
when tho news was brought to the
king hc sat playing cards al a table.
Looking at Ann. he said; 'Thou are

of the harmony of Christian denomi-

which they pull together in all good
works. The Baptists had set this

people of OcaIa the fact that very
pleasant spoken gentleman, who
claimed to be the king of zap, was a

years ago. He was great fisherman.
and one of our local poets made of
his piscatorial exploits at Silver
Springs string of verses beginning
with the following

It will be a great wonder if Holland
is not pushed into the war. Between
the conflicting interests of Germany
and Britain, it will be almost innpos-
sibIe for the little nation to preserve
neutrality many months longer. It
is most likely HOLLAND will side with
the allies. If Germany wins in the
war, the independence of Holland
will not last long. Holland can put
about 100000 men in the field, and
the Dutch have always been stubborn
fighters.

From Gainesville comes the infor-
nation that the county commission
ers of Alachua are greatly in favor
of the Alachua county fair. At the

was decided to appropriate $1,000
to be used in advertising the event.
The promoters of the fair are making
great plans this year and propose to
have it the best ever given in Alach-
ua county -Times-Union Short
Talks.
1t is generally understood that
Alachua county is richer than Mar
ion; however. the commissioners of
could and should do as well
in proportion for our fair as those
of Alachua have done for theirs. The
fair is for US all. and the better it
is. the better the people will be
pleased.
