He
lay
in
prison
very
ill
,
during
the
whole
interval
between
his
committal
for
trial
and
the
coming
round
of
the
Sessions
.
He
had
broken
two
ribs
,
they
had
wounded
one
of
his
lungs
,
and
he
breathed
with
great
pain
and
difficulty
,
which
increased
daily
.
It
was
a
consequence
of
his
hurt
that
he
spoke
so
low
as
to
be
scarcely
audible
;
therefore
he
spoke
very
little
.
But
he
was
ever
ready
to
listen
to
me
;
and
it
became
the
first
duty
of
my
life
to
say
to
him
,
and
read
to
him
,
what
I
knew
he
ought
to
hear
.
Being
far
too
ill
to
remain
in
the
common
prison
,
he
was
removed
,
after
the
first
day
or
so
,
into
the
infirmary
.
This
gave
me
opportunities
of
being
with
him
that
I
could
not
otherwise
have
had
.
And
but
for
his
illness
he
would
have
been
put
in
irons
,
for
he
was
regarded
as
a
determined
prison
-
breaker
,
and
I
know
not
what
else
.
Although
I
saw
him
every
day
,
it
was
for
only
a
short
time
;
hence
,
the
regularly
recurring
spaces
of
our
separation
were
long
enough
to
record
on
his
face
any
slight
changes
that
occurred
in
his
physical
state
.
I
do
not
recollect
that
I
once
saw
any
change
in
it
for
the
better
;
he
wasted
,
and
became
slowly
weaker
and
worse
,
day
by
day
,
from
the
day
when
the
prison
door
closed
upon
him
.
The
kind
of
submission
or
resignation
that
he
showed
was
that
of
a
man
who
was
tired
out
.
I
sometimes
derived
an
impression
,
from
his
manner
or
from
a
whispered
word
or
two
which
escaped
him
,
that
he
pondered
over
the
question
whether
he
might
have
been
a
better
man
under
better
circumstances
.
But
he
never
justified
himself
by
a
hint
tending
that
way
,
or
tried
to
bend
the
past
out
of
its
eternal
shape
.
It
happened
on
two
or
three
occasions
in
my
presence
,
that
his
desperate
reputation
was
alluded
to
by
one
or
other
of
the
people
in
attendance
on
him
.
A
smile
crossed
his
face
then
,
and
he
turned
his
eyes
on
me
with
a
trustful
look
,
as
if
he
were
confident
that
I
had
seen
some
small
redeeming
touch
in
him
,
even
so
long
ago
as
when
I
was
a
little
child
.
As
to
all
the
rest
,
he
was
humble
and
contrite
,
and
I
never
knew
him
complain
.
When
the
Sessions
came
round
,
Mr
.
Jaggers
caused
an
application
to
be
made
for
the
postponement
of
his
trial
until
the
following
Sessions
.
It
was
obviously
made
with
the
assurance
that
he
could
not
live
so
long
,
and
was
refused
.
The
trial
came
on
at
once
,
and
,
when
he
was
put
to
the
bar
,
he
was
seated
in
a
chair
.
No
objection
was
made
to
my
getting
close
to
the
dock
,
on
the
outside
of
it
,
and
holding
the
hand
that
he
stretched
forth
to
me
.
The
trial
was
very
short
and
very
clear
.
Such
things
as
could
be
said
for
him
were
said
—
how
he
had
taken
to
industrious
habits
,
and
had
thriven
lawfully
and
reputably
.
But
nothing
could
unsay
the
fact
that
he
had
returned
,
and
was
there
in
presence
of
the
Judge
and
Jury
.
It
was
impossible
to
try
him
for
that
,
and
do
otherwise
than
find
him
guilty
.
At
that
time
,
it
was
the
custom
(
as
I
learnt
from
my
terrible
experience
of
that
Sessions
)
to
devote
a
concluding
day
to
the
passing
of
Sentences
,
and
to
make
a
finishing
effect
with
the
Sentence
of
Death
.
But
for
the
indelible
picture
that
my
remembrance
now
holds
before
me
,
I
could
scarcely
believe
,
even
as
I
write
these
words
,
that
I
saw
two
-
and
-
thirty
men
and
women
put
before
the
Judge
to
receive
that
sentence
together
.
Foremost
among
the
two
-
and
-
thirty
was
he
;
seated
,
that
he
might
get
breath
enough
to
keep
life
in
him
.
The
whole
scene
starts
out
again
in
the
vivid
colors
of
the
moment
,
down
to
the
drops
of
April
rain
on
the
windows
of
the
court
,
glittering
in
the
rays
of
April
sun
.
Penned
in
the
dock
,
as
I
again
stood
outside
it
at
the
corner
with
his
hand
in
mine
,
were
the
two
-
and
-
thirty
men
and
women
;
some
defiant
,
some
stricken
with
terror
,
some
sobbing
and
weeping
,
some
covering
their
faces
,
some
staring
gloomily
about
.
There
had
been
shrieks
from
among
the
women
convicts
;
but
they
had
been
stilled
,
and
a
hush
had
succeeded
.
The
sheriffs
with
their
great
chains
and
nosegays
,
other
civic
gewgaws
and
monsters
,
criers
,
ushers
,
a
great
gallery
full
of
people
—
a
large
theatrical
audience
—
looked
on
,
as
the
two
-
and
-
thirty
and
the
Judge
were
solemnly
confronted
.
Then
the
Judge
addressed
them
.
