upon them to see that the negro

did they comply with therequireinents
of the law as officers of
the court that they elicited :i
handsome compliment from tin.
presiding Judge for their high
conception of their duty in fnl
tilling the unpleasant obligation
imposed upon them. In this connection
it may not he amiss to explain
that a prison charged with
a capital offense cannot plead
guilty under the law, nor can lie
be leg-illy convicted unless represented
by counsel at his trial. Instead
of being criticised, therefore,
for defending a criminal charged
with an atrocious crime, as in
this case, the attorneys appointed
by the court who are guided by
their conscientious convictions of
right in conducting the defense are
entitled to commendation, yet they
are often censured l?v thoughtless
critics.
Messrs Kirk and Askins addressed
the jurv on behalf of the
defendant and made us good a
showing as was possible in the
circumstauces. Solicitor Stoll's impassioned
speech drove home the
damuing proof of guilt beyond
the shadow of a reasonable doubt.
The Judge's charge was strong,
clear and practical, elucidating
every point of law involved in
the case so that the jury could
have no excuse for rendering othei
than an intelligent verdict.
At 1:5 p ui, the jury retired tr
their room and. seven minutes nuei
announced that they had agreed
upon their verdict.
