For
had
she
not
returned
to
the
jail
the
previous
afternoon
with
her
plan
?
And
as
soon
as
this
was
over
--
whatever
the
sentence
might
be
--
she
would
begin
with
her
work
.
And
so
,
and
that
almost
in
spite
of
himself
,
in
his
darkest
hour
,
standing
up
before
Justice
Oberwaltzer
and
listening
first
to
a
brief
recital
of
his
charge
and
trial
(
which
was
pronounced
by
Oberwaltzer
to
have
been
fair
and
impartial
)
,
then
to
the
customary
:
"
Have
you
any
cause
which
shows
why
the
judgment
of
death
should
not
now
be
pronounced
against
you
according
to
law
?
"
--
to
which
and
to
the
astonishment
of
his
mother
and
the
auditors
(
if
not
Jephson
,
who
had
advised
and
urged
him
so
to
do
)
,
Clyde
now
in
a
clear
and
firm
voice
replied
:
"
I
am
innocent
of
the
crime
as
charged
in
the
indictment
.
I
never
killed
Roberta
Alden
and
therefore
I
think
this
sentence
should
not
be
passed
.
"
And
then
staring
straight
before
him
conscious
only
of
the
look
of
admiration
and
love
turned
on
him
by
his
mother
.
For
had
not
her
son
now
declared
himself
,
here
at
this
fatal
moment
,
before
all
these
people
?
And
his
word
here
,
if
not
in
that
jail
,
would
be
true
,
would
it
not
?
Then
her
son
was
not
guilty
.
He
was
not
.
He
was
not
.
Praised
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
in
the
highest
.
And
deciding
to
make
a
great
point
of
this
in
her
dispatch
--
so
as
to
get
it
in
all
the
papers
,
and
in
her
lecture
afterwards
.
However
,
Oberwaltzer
,
without
the
faintest
sign
of
surprise
or
perturbation
,
now
continued
:
"
Is
there
anything
else
you
care
to
say
?
"
"
No
,
"
replied
Clyde
,
after
a
moment
's
hesitation
.
"
Clyde
Griffiths
,
"
then
concluded
Oberwaltzer
,
"
the
judgment
of
the
Court
is
that
you
,
Clyde
Griffiths
,
for
the
murder
in
the
first
degree
of
one
,
Roberta
Alden
,
whereof
you
are
convicted
,
be
,
and
you
are
hereby
sentenced
to
the
punishment
of
death
;
and
it
is
ordered
that
,
within
ten
days
after
this
day
's
session
of
Court
,
the
Sheriff
of
this
county
of
Cataraqui
deliver
you
,
together
with
the
warrant
of
this
Court
,
to
the
Agent
and
Warden
of
the
State
Prison
of
the
State
of
New
York
at
Auburn
,
where
you
shall
be
kept
in
solitary
confinement
until
the
week
beginning
Monday
the
28th
day
of
January
,
19
--
and
,
upon
some
day
within
the
week
so
appointed
,
the
said
Agent
and
Warden
of
the
State
Prison
of
the
State
of
New
York
at
Auburn
is
commended
to
do
execution
upon
you
,
Clyde
Griffiths
,
in
the
mode
and
manner
prescribed
by
the
laws
of
the
State
of
New
York
.
"
And
that
done
,
a
smile
from
Mrs.
Griffiths
to
her
boy
and
an
answering
smile
from
Clyde
to
her
.
For
since
he
had
announced
that
he
was
not
guilty
--
HERE
--
her
spirit
had
risen
in
the
face
of
this
sentence
.
He
was
really
innocent
--
he
must
be
,
since
he
had
declared
it
here
.
And
Clyde
because
of
her
smile
saying
to
himself
,
his
mother
believed
in
him
now
.
She
had
not
been
swayed
by
all
the
evidence
against
him
.
And
this
faith
,
mistaken
or
not
,
was
now
so
sustaining
--
so
needed
.
What
he
had
just
said
was
true
as
he
now
saw
it
.
He
had
not
struck
Roberta
.
That
WAS
true
.
And
therefore
he
was
not
guilty
.
Yet
Kraut
and
Slack
were
once
more
seizing
him
and
escorting
him
to
the
cell
.
Immediately
thereafter
his
mother
seating
herself
at
a
press
table
proceeded
to
explain
to
contiguous
press
representatives
now
curiously
gathering
about
her
:
"
You
must
n't
think
too
badly
of
me
,
you
gentlemen
of
the
papers
.
I
do
n't
know
much
about
this
but
it
is
the
only
way
I
could
think
of
to
be
with
my
boy
.
I
could
n't
have
come
otherwise
.
"
And
then
one
lanky
correspondent
stepping
up
to
say
:
"
Do
n't
worry
,
mother
.
Is
there
any
way
I
can
help
you
?
Want
me
to
straighten
out
what
you
want
to
say
?
I
'll
be
glad
to
.
"
And
then
sitting
down
beside
her
and
proceeding
to
help
her
arrange
her
impressions
in
the
form
in
which
he
assumed
her
Denver
paper
might
like
them
.
And
others
as
well
offering
to
do
anything
they
could
--
and
all
greatly
moved
.
