that
is,it
is
unjust
that
I
should
suffer
such
a
penalty.
Had
I
interfered
in
the
manner
which
I
admit,and
which
I
admit
has
been
fairly
proved
(for
I
admire
the
truthfulness
and
candor
of
the
greater
portion
of
the
witnesses
who
have
testified
in
this
case)-had
I
so
interfered
in
behalf
of
the
rich,the
powerful,the
intelligent,the
so-called
great,or
in
behalf
of
any
of
their
friends-either
father,mother,brother,sister,wife
or
children,or
any
of
that
class-and
suffered,and
sacrificed
what
I
have
in
this
interference,it
would
have
been
all
right;and
every
man
in
this
court
would
have
deemed
it
an
act
worthy
of
reward
rather
than
punishment.
This
court
acknowledges,as
I
suppose,the
validity
of
the
law
of
God,I
see
a
book
kissed,which
I
suppose
to
be
the
Bible,or
at
least
the
New
Testament.
That
teaches
me
that
all
things
whatsoever
I
would
that
men
should
do
to
me
I
should
do
even
so
to
them.
It
teaches
me,further,to“remember
them
that
are
in
bonds
as
bound
with
them”.
I
endeavored
to
act
up
to
that
instruction.
I
say
I
am
yet
too
young
to
understand
that
God
is
any
respecter
of
persons.
I
believe
that
to
have
interfered
as
I
have
done-as
I
have
always
freely
admitted
I
have
