The
recent
verdict
and
sentence
was
sure
to
be
reversed
and
a
new
trial
ordered
.
The
recent
one
was
a
farce
,
as
he
knew
.
And
as
for
herself
--
as
soon
as
she
found
a
room
near
the
prison
--
she
was
going
to
the
principal
ministers
of
Auburn
and
see
if
she
could
not
secure
a
church
,
or
two
,
or
three
,
in
which
to
speak
and
plead
his
cause
.
Mr.
Jephson
was
mailing
her
some
information
she
could
use
within
a
day
or
two
.
And
after
that
,
other
churches
in
Syracuse
,
Rochester
,
Albany
,
Schenectady
--
in
fact
many
cities
in
the
east
--
until
she
had
raised
the
necessary
sum
.
But
she
would
not
neglect
him
.
She
would
see
him
at
least
once
a
week
and
would
write
him
a
letter
every
other
day
,
or
maybe
even
daily
if
she
could
.
She
would
talk
to
the
warden
.
So
he
must
not
despair
.
She
had
much
hard
work
ahead
of
her
,
of
course
,
but
the
Lord
would
guide
her
in
all
that
she
undertook
.
She
knew
that
.
Had
He
not
already
shown
his
gracious
and
miraculous
mercy
?
Clyde
must
pray
for
her
and
for
himself
.
Read
Isaiah
.
Read
the
psalms
--
the
23rd
and
the
51st
and
91st
daily
.
Also
Habbakuk
.
"
Are
there
walls
against
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
?
"
And
then
after
more
tears
,
an
utterly
moving
and
macerating
scene
,
at
last
achieving
her
departure
while
Clyde
,
shaken
to
his
soul
by
so
much
misery
,
returned
to
his
cell
.
His
mother
.
And
at
her
age
--
and
with
so
little
money
--
she
was
going
out
to
try
to
raise
the
money
necessary
to
save
him
.
And
in
the
past
he
had
treated
her
so
badly
--
as
he
now
saw
He
sat
down
on
the
side
of
his
cot
and
held
his
head
in
his
hands
the
while
outside
the
prison
--
the
iron
door
of
the
same
closed
and
only
a
lonely
room
and
the
ordeal
of
her
proposed
lecture
tour
ahead
of
her
--
Mrs.
Griffiths
paused
--
by
no
means
so
assured
or
convinced
of
all
she
had
said
to
Clyde
.
To
be
sure
God
would
aid
her
.
He
must
.
Had
He
ever
failed
her
yet
--
completely
?
And
now
--
herein
her
darkest
hour
,
her
son
's
!
Would
He
?
She
paused
for
a
moment
a
little
later
in
a
small
parking-place
,
beyond
the
prison
,
to
stare
at
the
tall
,
gray
walls
,
the
watch
towers
with
armed
guards
in
uniform
,
the
barred
windows
and
doors
.
A
penitentiary
.
And
her
son
was
now
within
--
worse
yet
,
in
that
confined
and
narrow
death
house
.
And
doomed
to
die
in
an
electric
chair
.
Unless
--
unless
--
But
,
no
,
no
--
that
should
not
be
.
It
could
not
be
.
That
appeal
.
The
money
for
it
.
She
must
busy
herself
as
to
that
at
once
--
not
think
or
brood
or
despair
.
Oh
,
no
.
"
My
shield
and
my
buckler
.
"
"
My
Light
and
my
Strength
.
"
"
Oh
,
Lord
,
Thou
art
my
strength
and
my
deliverance
.
In
Thee
will
I
trust
.
"
And
then
dabbing
at
her
eyes
once
more
and
adding
:
"
Oh
,
Lord
,
I
believe
.
Help
Thou
mine
unbelief
.
"
So
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
alternately
praying
and
crying
as
she
walked
.
But
after
this
the
long
days
in
prison
for
Clyde
.
Except
for
a
weekly
visit
from
his
mother
,
who
,
once
she
was
entered
upon
her
work
,
found
it
difficult
to
see
him
more
often
than
that
--
traveling
as
she
did
in
the
next
two
months
between
Albany
and
Buffalo
and
even
New
York
City
--
but
without
the
success
she
had
at
first
hoped
for
.
For
in
the
matter
of
her
appeal
to
the
churches
and
the
public
--
as
most
wearily
(
and
in
secret
if
not
to
Clyde
)
--
and
after
three
weeks
of
more
or
less
regional
and
purely
sectarian
trying
,
she
was
compelled
to
report
the
Christians
at
least
were
very
indifferent
--
not
as
Christian
as
they
should
be
.
For
as
all
,
but
more
particularly
the
ministers
of
the
region
,
since
they
most
guardedly
and
reservedly
represented
their
congregations
in
every
instance
,
unanimously
saw
it
,
here
was
a
notorious
and
,
of
course
,
most
unsavory
trial
which
had
resulted
in
a
conviction
with
which
the
more
conservative
element
of
the
country
--
if
one
could
judge
by
the
papers
at
least
,
were
in
agreement
.
Besides
who
was
this
woman
--
as
well
as
her
son
?
An
exhorter
--
a
secret
preacher
--
one
,
who
in
defiance
of
all
the
tenets
and
processes
of
organized
and
historic
,
as
well
as
hieratic
,
religious
powers
and
forms
(
theological
seminaries
,
organized
churches
and
their
affiliations
and
product
--
all
carefully
and
advisedly
and
legitimately
because
historically
and
dogmatically
interpreting
the
word
of
God
)
choosing
to
walk
forth
and
without
ordination
after
any
fashion
conduct
an
unauthorized
and
hence
nondescript
mission
.
Besides
if
she
had
remained
at
home
,
as
a
good
mother
should
,
and
devoted
herself
to
her
son
,
as
well
as
to
her
other
children
--
their
care
and
education
--
would
this
--
have
happened
?
And
not
only
that
--
but
according
to
Clyde
's
own
testimony
in
this
trial
,
had
he
not
been
guilty
of
adultery
with
this
girl
--
whether
he
had
slain
her
or
not
?
A
sin
almost
equal
to
murder
in
many
minds
.
Had
he
not
confessed
it
?
And
was
an
appeal
for
a
convicted
adulterer
--
if
not
murderer
(
who
could
tell
as
to
that
?
)
to
be
made
in
a
church
?
No
--
no
Christian
church
was
the
place
to
debate
,
and
for
a
charge
,
the
merits
of
this
case
,
however
much
each
Christian
of
each
and
every
church
might
sympathize
with
Mrs.
Griffiths
personally
--
or
resent
any
legal
injustice
that
might
have
been
done
her
son
.
No
,
no
.
It
was
not
morally
advisable
.
It
might
even
tend
to
implant
in
the
minds
of
the
young
some
of
the
details
of
the
crime
.
