People tell me that my speech was a good one.

What is more surprising, they tell me that I made the prisoner, and Mr.Bohlmann, the brewer, who sat next to Dummer, both cry.

I confess I grieve over the fact that I was not prosecuting Bohlmann.

He is the real criminal, yet goes scot free.

But the moral effect is, I suppose, the important thing, and any one to whom responsibility could be traced (and convicted) gives us that.
