cowardly assassin established claims to honorable recognition and secured to its the honors we have been taught to believe were exclusively reserved for virtue intelligence industry and integrity we have seen within a few months the vilest miscreants elevated to offices of important trust in our jails and in our police and we have been seen in our criminal tribunals the most notorious criminals the vilest human haman scum treated with considerate distil dastil distinction while the atrocious farce of arraigning them for murder was being played with a full consciousness on the part of all the
