|tharged With Murder
Prisoner at'the bar, have you
anything to say why sentence
of death shall not be0 passed
.upon you?
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.
"I was one of those who sign
ed remonstrances against re
opening the saloons of our town.

the Judge who sits on this
bench, all voted for the saloons.
By their votes and influence sa
loons were reopened, and they
have made me what I am."
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."
