A solemn hush fell over the crowded court room, and every person waited in almost breath less expectation for the answer to the Judge's question. The Judge waited in dignified silence. Not a whisper was heard any where, and the situation had become painfully oppressive, when the prisoner was seen to move, his head was raised, his hand was clinched and the blood had rushed into his pale, care worn face. Suddenly he arose to his feet, and in a low, firm, but distinct voice, said: "I HAVE! Your honor, you have asked me a question, and I nowask, as the last favor on earth, that you will not interupt my answer until I am through. I stand here before this bar con victed of the wilful murder of my wife. Truthful witnesses have testified to the fact that I1 was a loafer, a drunkard, and a wretch; that I returned from one of my prolonged debauches and fired the fatal shot that? killed the wife I had sworn to love, cherish and protect. While I have no remembrance of com mitting the fearful deed, I have! no right to complain or to con-. demn the verdict of the twelve good men who have acted as jury in the case, for their ver dict is in accordance with the' evidence. But may it please! the court. I wish to show that I AM NOT ALONE RESPONSI BLE FOR THE MURDER OF MY WIFE!" This startling statement crea ted a tremendous sensation,. The J udge leaned over the desk, the lawyers wheeled around and faced the prisoner, the jurors looked at each other in amazement, while the specta tors could hardly suppress their intense excitement. The pris oner paused a few seconds, and, then continued in the same firm distinct voice: I repeat, your honor, that I' am not the only one guilty of the murder of my wife. The Judge of this bench, the jury In the box, the lawyers within this bar, and most of I the witnesses, including the pastor of the old church, are also guilty before Almighty God, and will have to stand with me before His judg ment throne, w-here we shall all be righteously judged. it had not been for the sa onsof my towni, I never would have become a drunkard: my wife would not have been nmur d(ere~d: I would not be here now, ready ito be hurled into eternity. Ha fnot been for these human traps, I would have been a sober, man, an industrious workman, a tender father, and a loving husbandl. But today my home is dIestroyed, my wife murdered, my little children-God bless and care for them-cast out on the mercv of the w~orki, while I am to be hung by the strong arm of the state. "God knows, I tried to reform, but as long as the open saloon was in my pathway, my weak, diseased, wvill-power was no~ match ag'ainst the fearful, con suming, agonizing appetite for liquor. "For one year our town was without a saloon. For one yearj I w as a sober man. For one year my wife and children were happy, and our little home was a paradise.

The impassioned words of the prisoner fell like coals of fire. upon the hearts of those present, and many of the spectators and some of the lawyers were moved to tears. The Judge made a motion as if to stop further speech, when the speaker hasti y said: "No! No! your honor, do not lose my lips. I am nearly through. I began my down ward carter at a saloon BAR egalized and protected by the voters of this town. After the aloons you allowed have made rue a drunkard and a murderer, [ am taken before another BAR -the bar of justice-and now the lawpower will conduct me to the place of execution and hasten my soul into eternity. I shall appear before another bar, the JUDGMENT BAR OF GOD and there you, who have legal ized the traffic, will have to ap pear with me. Think you that the Great Judge will hold me -the poor, weak, helpless victim of your traffic-alone res ponsible for the murder of my wife? Now, I, in my drunken, frenzied, irresponsible condition, have murdered ONE-but you have deliberately voted for the saloons which have murdered thousands, and they are in full operation today with your con sent. "All of you know in your hearts that these words of mine are not the ravings of an un sound mind, but God Alm'ghty's truth. "You legalized the saloons that made me a drunkard and a murderer, and you are guilty with me before God and man for the murder of my wife. "Your honor, I am done. ] am now ready to receive my sentence and be led forth to the place of execution. You will close by asking the Lord to have mercy on my soul. I will close by solemnly asking God to open your blind eyes to your own in dividual responsibility, so that you will cease to give your sup port to this dr-eadful traffic." Anonymous.
