Show Mn SCOVILLIC is guilty of another blunder in attacking the honesty and integrity of the jury which found his client guilty The public no less than the jury know Guiteau killed the President and that in doing so committed premeditated and wilful murder It is owing to the laws leniency and delay that the assassin has been permitted to live so long It was well enough that his brotherinlaw should make a proper effort to keep the neck of his relative out of the halter but having made that proper effort he is gaining no point but is rather earning the contempt of the people by resorting to pettifogging and trickery if not downright roguery in his attempt to save the life of the miserable wretch The only chance that Guiteau has for escaping the gallows is to die between now and the time to be appointed for his execution |
