The following lecture accom-
panied a thirty year sentence in
the penitentiary, by Judge Gar
ber, in bis court at Cherokee,
last week. He said: “In re
spose to the entreaties of your
wife for protection from your in-
human treatment, the man you
slew, in company with his neigh-
bors, took the requisite legal
steps to procure an investigation
and because of his sympathy and
high sense of public duty which
prompted such action, you en-
gaged him in a personal combat
on the public highway, while
passing your residence in going
to his home and when retiring
therefrom to his buggy, you shot
him in the hack with a shotgun.
1 he wounds in his back proclaim
with a thousand tongues, the
falsity of your plea of self de-
fense and cry aloud for the vin-
dication of a good name as the
only heritage left a weeping wid-
ow and orphan children. The
extent of the result of such a
cowardly crime is not confined
to the individuals immeadiately
concerned. It reaches every
fireside alarming defenseless
women and child renin their plac-
es of security. It challenges
the immeadiate and aggressive
action of the whole social family
in its self-defense, to insist upon
an immediate and impartial dis-
position of the case. Looking:
back to that March 3, we see a
peaceable, law abiding citizen
shot down while passing on the
public highway in front of your
residence; his widow in her help-
lessness, running across fields
with water to revive him; a fun
eral prosession wherein all the
neighbors of the entire commun-
ity are mourners; a newly made
grave in the nearby cemetery on
♦he hill; a lonely home with two
orphan children and a weeping
widow at a desolate fireside.
Could a length of term of impris-
onment pay for all this? Not if
it were for a thousand years!
A human life is not valued so
cheaply. The education and op-
portunities of young children
are worth more than that. How
inadequte is the law to compel
restitution in such a case and
make good the destruction caus-
ed by your ruthless hand. Thir-
ty years at hard labor is but a
slight reprimand when compared
with the results of your crime,
although it is all the law and the
verdict of the jury will permit in
this case.andit is to be regret-
ted the law will not permit the
court to order the profits of your
labor eacri day of that period to
be applied to the support of the
widow and the education of the
orphan children made desolate
and dependent by your act. To
be compelled (o' contribute to-
ward the proceeds of your toil
to the parb restitution of that
which you took away would de-
velop in yc >u a higher respect for
law and a, reverential regard for
that even- handed, stern-eyed jus-
tice, as ; she impartially holds
aloft the a calc and deals out ret-
ribution t< > every man accord-
ing to his- deeds. It is the judge-
.e court that you be re-
to the custody of the
be by him transport*
renitentiavy at Lans-
s, there to remain for
of thirty years from
at hard labor and from
