Show A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE. Salt Lake City, May 2, 1S93. To George E. Coxier. Esq: We blame yoA, Georgp, for going, As we knew ypu would get caught, fc And the time which you were absent Would only count you nought. They say you are in Denver, An 1 will soon be here a-'ain, And your weukness for tl a woman Will surely cause you pain. And you'll weep for that kind father, You nve left bacK In the east. While vcm languish here in prison, Without much of a feast. And perhaps there is your mother, Who sits weeping for her son. Thinking how it might have been. Had your course been differently run. To Salt Lake you have returned, ( And gone out to the Pen, To languish there in dnrance vile With other wicked men. The judge s talk to you, sir, Whilst arrayed in court for sentence, Should made that stony heart Sue for mercy and repentance. Y'ou have iust received your sentence, Of one short and fleeting year, Which we hope will cause repentance, For your profligate career. And when yon have served that sentence, And are in the walks of iife, You will not be called to ropentenee, But will love an honored wife. 0. &. IValton. , . . |
