And
Asa
in
another
corner
of
the
room
,
saying
little
.
Because
of
his
lack
of
comprehension
of
the
actualities
as
well
as
his
lack
of
experience
of
the
stern
and
motivating
forces
of
passion
,
he
was
unable
to
grasp
even
a
tithe
of
the
meaning
of
this
.
He
had
never
understood
Clyde
or
his
lacks
or
his
feverish
imaginings
,
so
he
said
,
and
preferred
not
to
discuss
him
.
"
But
,
"
continued
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
"
at
no
time
have
I
shielded
Clyde
in
his
sin
against
Roberta
Alden
.
He
did
wrong
,
but
she
did
wrong
too
in
not
resisting
him
.
There
can
be
no
compromising
with
sin
in
any
one
.
And
though
my
heart
goes
out
in
sympathy
and
love
to
the
bleeding
heart
of
her
dear
mother
and
father
who
have
suffered
so
,
still
we
must
not
fail
to
see
that
this
sin
was
mutual
and
that
the
world
should
know
and
judge
accordingly
.
Not
that
I
want
to
shield
him
,
"
she
repeated
.
"
He
should
have
remembered
the
teachings
of
his
youth
.
"
And
here
her
lips
compressed
in
a
sad
and
somewhat
critical
misery
.
"
But
I
have
read
her
letters
too
.
And
I
feel
that
but
for
them
,
the
prosecuting
attorney
would
have
no
real
case
against
my
son
.
He
used
them
to
work
on
the
emotions
of
the
jury
.
"
She
got
up
,
tried
as
by
fire
,
and
exclaimed
,
tensely
and
beautifully
:
"
But
he
is
my
son
!
He
has
just
been
convicted
.
I
must
think
as
a
mother
how
to
help
him
,
however
I
feel
as
to
his
sin
.
"
She
gripped
her
hands
together
,
and
even
the
reporters
were
touched
by
her
misery
.
"
I
must
go
to
him
!
I
should
have
gone
before
.
I
see
it
now
.
"
She
paused
,
discovering
herself
to
be
addressing
her
inmost
agony
,
need
,
fear
,
to
these
public
ears
and
voices
,
which
might
in
no
wise
understand
or
care
.
"
Some
people
wonder
,
"
now
interrupted
one
of
these
same
--
a
most
practical
and
emotionally
calloused
youth
of
Clyde
's
own
age
--
"
why
you
were
n't
there
during
the
trial
.
Did
n't
you
have
the
money
to
go
?
"
"
I
had
no
money
,
"
she
replied
simply
.
"
Not
enough
,
anyhow
.
And
besides
,
they
advised
me
not
to
come
--
that
they
did
not
need
me
.
But
now
--
now
I
must
go
--
in
some
way
--
I
must
find
out
how
.
"
She
went
to
a
small
shabby
desk
,
which
was
a
part
of
the
sparse
and
colorless
equipment
of
the
room
.
"
You
boys
are
going
downtown
,
"
she
said
.
"
Would
one
of
you
send
a
telegram
for
me
if
I
give
you
the
money
?
"
"
Sure
!
"
exclaimed
the
one
who
had
asked
her
the
rudest
question
.
"
Give
it
to
me
.
You
do
n't
need
any
money
.
I
'll
have
the
paper
send
it
.
"
Also
,
as
he
thought
,
he
would
write
it
up
,
or
in
,
as
part
of
his
story
.
She
seated
herself
at
the
yellow
and
scratched
desk
and
after
finding
a
small
pad
and
pen
,
she
wrote
:
"
Clyde
--
Trust
in
God
.
All
things
are
possible
to
Him
.
Appeal
at
once
.
Read
Psalm
51
.
Another
trial
will
prove
your
innocence
.
We
will
come
to
you
soon
.
Father
and
Mother
.
"
"
Perhaps
I
had
just
better
give
you
the
money
,
"
she
added
,
nervously
,
wondering
whether
it
would
be
well
to
permit
a
newspaper
to
pay
for
this
and
wondering
at
the
same
time
if
Clyde
's
uncle
would
be
willing
to
pay
for
an
appeal
.
It
might
cost
a
great
deal
.
Then
she
added
:
"
It
's
rather
long
.
"
"
Oh
,
do
n't
bother
about
that
!
"
exclaimed
another
of
the
trio
,
who
was
anxious
to
read
the
telegram
.
"
Write
all
you
want
.
We
'll
see
that
it
goes
.
"
