Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Argument: Before the Tewksbury Investigation Committee, Upon Facts Disclosed During the Recent Investigation, July 15, 1883 I am not of counsel in this case. I occupy a different position. If I were in the position of counsel, I should be permitted to say many things that I, perhaps, in my position, shall not feel myself called upon to say. The arguments of counsel to a tribunal are only valuable in so far as they bring to the attention of that tribunal such absolute facts and matters of evidence as should bear upon the question at issue. And, if counsel depart from that, then their remarks become worse than useless. Counsel rarely ever do that. In this case, while I pardon much to the counsel for the defence, yet if I can show you that his clients have misled him, and that he has, by their instruction, felt himself obliged to put before you absolute untruths, why, then you will know what amount of allowance to make for the rest of his argument. The counsel has made a very severe attack upon a very respectable lady, Mrs. Warner, long engaged in benevolent work, who has come here and told the exact truth. He was misled into that by the instruction of one of the Marshes, who sat behind him. The case was this: Mrs. Warner testified the State authorities gave her charge of a child by the name of Willie Marshall; that when she took that charge, Willie Marshall being an infant of tender age, she nursed and provided for him as well as she could under the permission of the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity; the child was then put into Tewksbury and kept there fourteen days without her knowledge; that she followed it and took it out of Tewksbury.; that while the child was under her charge, during the four months previous, and at the time it went to Tewksbury, it was an absolutely healthy child; that when it came out of Tewksbury its eyes were affected with syphilitic running sores, a disease caught in the institution, presumably due to being washed in the same water with other diseased infants. By kind and careful attention, since the child left the almshouse, he has got well, except that he lost his eyebrows. If she foisted that story upon the committee, if it is untrue, she does not deserve a place on earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
