kimJ “I cun make a dug fl^hr. if I
write a letur or two.” Mr^ Ortiu D.
late said.; “Wing him. Colonel, don't
kill him.” No uoawer whs made to this
piteous rppeul ; but as Cash gt (yi to
the field h’s son-cumes to him uud ut
ters these words ; “Kill tbo dHtuncd
grey-bearded scoundrel,” and the an
swer was fT’ll do It. Ho cnuT escape
me.” Muvc us from uuch a ikicl fought
ou tho Code and for the inofeteuanoe
of honor l Save us from a settled and
determined purpooe to reap vengeance
under the form of the Duello. Tlds
man, with'nn ves that no sudden b6r-
ror enu startle^wjlh' perfect confidence
lu killing ids antagonist, tltis marks-
an of perfect accurncy^wlio tells his
soVVone shot wkl do it,” shoots down
his arit^monist, who gasps three tii
and dies.
Ho retnimlod tbe jury of their great
duty and heavy i^ponsiWI it j. These
r sbtmldcrs by
the chances of life dgd the cltcutn-
stauces of society, and they dared not
shiik them. One single convictioh of
murder for duelling would do more to
annihilate the practice than all the
statutes that ever were framed.
Th® Attorney General said he had
endeavored not to go beyond the evi
dence. He hud asked nothing for the
widowed wife; he asked nothing foe
the community which had lost Its
light; -but ho asked simply for the vin
dication of the laws of South CaroJlua.
