Let the State
Set an Example
Cold-blooded? Why? Because they planned, and schemed.
Yes. But here are the officers of justice, so-called, with all the power
of the State, with all the influence of the press, to fan this community
into a frenzy of hate; with all of that, who for months have been planning
and scheming, and contriving, and working to take these two boys' lives.
You may stand them up on the trap-door of the scaffold, and choke them
to death, but that act will be infinitely more cold-blooded whether justified
or not, than any act that these boys have committed or can commit.
Cold-blooded!
Let the State, who is so anxious to take these boys' lives, set an example
in consideration, kindheartedness and tenderness before they call my clients
cold-blooded.
