His crime was looked upon as a desperate act, for the committal of which he was absolutely without any excuse. The consequence was that an elaborate system of torture was devised in order to deal with him.
"Lots fellows do't now," he explained. "Never know who-you-may-meet. S' a mos' useful habit." Now Captain Kettle, in his inmost heart, considered that Cranze was nerving himself up with drink to the committal of his horrid deed, and so he took a very natural precaution.
Henceforth committal to the cells was no longer to constitute a punishment at Sennelager. Tying to the stake was the most complete means of subjugating and cowing the prisoners. As might be expected, one and all of us dreaded such a sentence, and we were exceedingly diligent and painstaking in our efforts to keep in the good graces of the Commanding Officer.
He could not account for the blood found on his clothes. Cyril is much shocked by the verdict and committal of Everard, but is sure that he will be cleared. "He must be cleared," he says, "at any cost." Pending the assize trial, he baptises three unknown babes in Malbourne Church. When asking the name of one of the children in his arms, he is told "Benjamin Lee."
I questioned, shrinking, in spite of my belief in its righteousness, from the committal of so dreadful a deed. "Surely he would better make answer for the necessity of so desperate a sacrifice." Her dark eyes never wavered from my face, nor did her hands relax their confident grasp of mine. "Not because I believe he would refuse, but he is of a temper changeable as the winds of Spring.
If one imagines that he can corrupt his own soul and make it the abiding-place of foul thoughts, mean impulses, and shrivelling selfishness, and yet go forward very far in God's universe without meeting overwhelming disaster, he will find himself thoroughly mistaken. The sin of another man finds him out in swift sequence upon its committal, and such had been Haldane's experience.
The young man made no attempt to conceal, but tried to explain more fully the circumstances which led to the act, hoping that in them the justice would find such extenuating elements as would prevent a committal to prison.
For Brereton knew that nothing is so useful in the breaking-down of one prejudice as to set up another, and his great object just then was to divert primary prejudice away from his client. Nevertheless, nothing, he knew well, could at that stage prevent Harborough's ultimate committal unless Harborough himself chose to prove the alibi of which he had boasted.
But for this the family found no cause for committal to the asylum, since such committal would necessarily invalidate what he had done. "Grandfather is sure peeved," said Mary, his oldest daughter, herself a grandmother, when her father quit smoking. All he had retained for himself was a span of old horses, a mountain buckboard, and his one room in the crowded house.
I should tell you that Maddox has entirely dropped his alias. Mr. Grey is convinced that was only a bold stroke to gain time and prevent the committal, so as to be able to escape, and that he 'reckoned upon bullying a dense old country magistrate; but that he knew it was quite untenable before a body of unexceptionable witnesses.
