Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Santangelo´s Trial for Libel Against Samuel McRoberts, a Senator of the United States, From Illinois: Before the Court of General Sessions, in the City of New York Gentlemen, However adverse the result of my approaching trial for Libel may be, I shall solely look upon it as a subject for a few additional pages to the history of my strange adventures. Yet I could not feel indifferent to the least judicial incident, which may not prove fully creditable to my personal honor. Society, it may be said with much truth, does not always condemn what a magistrate condemns, nor is public opinion always subservient to the decisions of juries or courts. It is not less certain, however, that men, uninformed of the true facts, might easily be led into error by wrong judicial sentences silently acquiesced to. Nature and reason, on the other hand, order me to defend myself. I shall never consent, therefore, to have my person confounded with the common mass of trembling victims to tyrannical power and brutal force. Let me defend my person, my name, my honor, and all my natural and civil rights, to the utmost. Must I succumb? Well, I shall; but not without being fully at peace with my own heart and mind. All that I aim at, is not to descend into the tomb a voluntary prey to inconsolable grief and dejecting opprobrium. I care but little for any other possible injury that human malice or folly can inflict on my septuagenary body or exhausted purse. Worldly misfortunes have no real terrors, in my opinion, whenever they can be courageously faced by honesty and innocence.
