"Men and Women | Have
Executed"

The jury paid no attention to
this amazing explanation. Ball
was promptly convicted, and it be-
came my duty to execute him in
Walton Jail.
Men condemned to death do
strange things.
Thus it was that William James
Robinson had been found guilty
after lengthy trial, but there still
fingered in the public mind consid-
cradle doubt as to whether the YER
dict of the jury was justified.
The crime was one possessing
no distinctive features. 1t was an
ordinary, sordid highway assault
Just like the old crimes of hum
bred years ago, which Cruikshank
so wildly illustrated in his old
wOodcut pictures, one of which is
reproduced on this page to-day.
Robinson and another man were in
London public house and noticed1
a Canadian soldier named Alfred
William receive a bundle of bank
notes to the value of several hun
bred dollars. 1t was alleged they
followed him out and set upon
him, ostensibly with the object of
robbing him of the money, and it
was declared that Robinson stabbed
the Canadian. Anyway he was re-
moved to the hospital with wound
behind his ear, and died on the way
there.
The hearing of the case occu-
pied three days before Justice
Coleridge at the Central Criminal
Court, and in the end Robinson got
the death sentence, while his COM
panion got three years penal ser
vitude on a manslaughter verdict.
OF course, Robinson's lawyers
appealed the case, and there was
a very good chance of a new trial
or Communication of the sentence
when a surprising thing happened.
Robinson, while in the condemned
cell at Pentonville, wrote a letter
to lady friend, which she after
ward destroyed. But it is a part
of the prison routine that all let
ters should be read and copied be-
fore they go out to whomsoever
they are addressed, and this partic-
ular letter was treated in the same
way.
There were only few sentences
of Importance to the case in it, but
they were vital sentences. These
few words sufficed to put the rope
round their writer's neck. They
were as follows:
although / tell you now that
| am guilty OF the crime, ! am
quite satisfied with my sentence.
/ want to impress upon
you and everybody else that it was
not done for robbery, but it was
simply unfortunate. l took him
for somebody else had a row with
on the previous day, and | had no
intention of killing him. l do not
look for sympathy, for do not de-
serve it."
Out of his own mouth was Rob-
inson condemned. The reading at
the Appeal Court of these frag-
ments from his letter robbed his
counsel of all hope of success
1t is not improbable that Will
lam James Robinson would have
won his appeal and perhaps be
alive and happy to-day if he had
not done that stupid thing of writ
ing that letter, the torn scraps of
which securely fastened the moose
around his neck.
