Overview

Excerpt from Trial of Marshall and Ross for Barn-Burning: A Brief Exposure of a Systematic Attempt to Mislead the Public Mind, and to Create a False Sympathy in Behalf of Convicted Incendiaries And had these professed reflectors of public opinion asserted only, that the first emotion excited by the rendition of the verdict, and by the report of it, as it went forth on the wings Of the wind, was, on the part of those cognizant of the facts in the case, to a very great extent, that of surprise, and had they then proceeded to unfold the real cause of that surprise, (which lack of service I propose presently to supply, ) there would have been no occasion for correcting the utterly false impressions, which their misrepresentations on this point are adapted - not to say intended - to make. Why, if these writers are to be believed, the verdict was not only unlooked for, but such as to cause the jury, to be denounced. It not only astonished the prosecut ing attorney, and amazed the whole bar present, but out raged every sense of justice in the community, and every body is astonished that such a verdict should be rendered on so slight a chain of evidence.
