Two mounted troopers are riding up over Specimen Hill. What do they want? They take the brother away, handcuffed. Manslaughter last night. Cause drink and jealousy. The vision is gone again. Thud, thud, goes the pick; it counts the years that follow one, two, three, four, up to twenty, and then it stops for the next scene a selection on the banks of a bright river in New South Wales.
Send a man from the farm, at once, to the cottage hospital at Whitebeck. They've got an ambulance I commission it. It's a hospital case. They shall see to it. Be quick! March! do you hear? I intended to quit of them bag and baggage!" Dixon did not move. "Doctor said if we were to move un now, it 'ud be manslaughter," he said stolidly, "an' he'd have us 'op."
The youthful murderer was tried and convicted of manslaughter, and on account of his youth was given but two years in the penitentiary. This convict was at one time county judge of Stoddard County, and highly respected. He is one of the finest appearing men I ever saw. His finely shaped head bespeaks intelligence. It is sad to see such grand looking specimens dressed in the garb of disgrace.
Many a one can date their final cold and fatal cough from this neglect of otherwise thoughtful housewives. Never put your friend in the northwest bedroom if it has not been duly aired in summer, or warmed in winter. If this is not done, it is almost manslaughter. That corner in our houses should be used for parlors, store-rooms, or anything, rather than for sleeping people in.
Foss says: "Gloves were presented to the judges on some occasions: viz., when a man, convicted for murder, or manslaughter, came and pleaded the king's pardon; and, till the Act of 4 & 5 William and Mary c. 18, which rendered personal appearance unnecessary, an outlawry could not be reversed, unless the defendant came into court, and with a present of gloves to the judges implored their favor to reverse it.
With respect to those against life, if one person kill another without any malice aforethought, then that natural tenderness of which the Law of England is full, interposes for the first fact, which in such a case is denominated manslaughter. This Act it is which is commonly called the Statute of Stabbing.
The prisoner's personal defence might indeed, even in that case, have gone more or less beyond the MODERAMEN INCULPATAE TUTELAE, spoken of by lawyers; but the punishment incurred would have been that of manslaughter, not of murder.
If your hands are not up, we fire on sight. Get your revolvers ready, boys." Then the officer opened the door. Evidently the burglar was wise enough to appreciate the futility of fighting against odds. Perhaps he did not wish to add the charge of manslaughter to that of robbery. Certainly, he did not feel himself called to sudden death.
Nor is his list of victims as a sharpshooter in the army legitimately to be added to his record. Cutting out all doubtful instances, however, there remains no doubt that he killed between twenty and thirty men in personal combat in the open, and that never once was he tried in any court on a charge even of manslaughter. This record is not approached by that of any other known bad man.
"Hold yore hawsses, Em," said West, smiling. "Graham didn't know the facts. If you was a capitalist an' thinkin' of loanin' big money to a man you found out had been in prison for manslaughter and that he had since been accused of robbin' a stage an' killing the driver " "He was in a hurry," explained Dave. "Going East to-morrow. Some one must have got at him after I saw him.
