6/25 "Judge Corbet said something about the possibility of a pardon. The jury did not recommend him to mercy: you see, his looks went so much against him, and all the evidence was so strong, and no defence, so to speak, for he would not furnish any information on which we could base defence. But the judge did give some hope, to my mind, though there are others that think differently." "I tell you, Mr.Johnson, he must not die, and he shall not. To whom must I go ?" "Whew! Have you got additional evidence ?" with a sudden sharp glance of professional inquiry. |
