not make the slightest impression on me.  I am pleading for life and liberty—­I am pleading in the cause of justice, and I leave it in your hands.  I demand that you should exercise your best judgement to render a verdict before the Omnipotent Creator of the universe, who is looking into your hearts as well as mine—­to render a verdict for which you will be sorry—­to render a verdict that your countrymen will cheer—­to render a verdict that will make you venerated and admired im the land of your birth while you live on this earth.
