This observation has led one of the most exact and painstaking of modern biographers of Luther, Koestlin, to say that the homicide story, if it rests on any basis of fact, must either refer to a different Luther, or if to Hans, the incident cannot have been a homicide. It should be remembered that there is no authentic record which in any way incriminates Hans Luther.
The homicide now will be yours. She left, giving me a glance of defiance; but before our eyes ended that conflict, I saw which of us had conquered. 'Hate is strong, I murmured, as I sank down on my pillow, 'and destiny is strong; but oh, Winnie, Winnie stronger than hate, and stronger than destiny and death, is love.
Ziegler, who, ejecting the mute with much spluttering, and pitching away his empty glass, sprang towards the door, with justifiable homicide in every movement. "Mr. Ziegler!" Audrey appealed to him, snatching at his dress-coat and sticking to it. He turned, furious, his face still dripping the finest Pilsener beer. "If your dress-coat is not wiped instantly, it will be ruined," said Audrey. "Ach!
"When they took arms against a Prince who had no fault, save that he was too kind and too good a master for such a set of ungrateful slaves when they armed against him, and broke into his peaceful house, what could there be in their intention but murder? when they banded themselves with the Wild Boar of Ardennes, the greatest homicide in the marches of Flanders, what else could there be in their purpose but murder, which is the very trade he lives by?
"I suppose he would call it part of our commercial finesse," he said bitterly to himself. "However, we have put our hands to the plough, and we must not let homicide stop us."

The crisis at the African fields was even more acute than had been anticipated by the conspirators.

There is no recorded instance of the justifiable homicide of an American girl in her theatre hat. Man meekly submits to be the hewer of wood, the drawer of water, and the beast of burden for the superior sex. But even this gorgeous medal has its reverse side.
Coming into the United States some years after, he was arrested under a charge of homicide committed in this act, and was held to trial as for a private felony. According to my apprehensions, a proceeding of this kind was directly adverse to the well-settled doctrines of the public law.
In the most rigorous laws, a wife was condemned to support a gamester, a drunkard, or a libertine, unless he were guilty of homicide, poison, or sacrilege, in which cases the marriage, as it should seem, might have been dissolved by the hand of the executioner.
When, for instance, in the account of Villon's only known act of homicide, the fact that after he had stabbed the priest, Sermoise, he crushed in his head with a stone, is used to prove that he must have been acting on the defensive, because, "since the earliest times, the stone is the weapon used by man to repel attack chiefly the attack of wolves and dogs" one cannot quite repress a sceptical smile.
