Description:Excerpt from Argument of William H. Seward in Defence of Abel F. Fitch and Others Under an Indictment for Arson: Delivered at Detroit on the 11th, 12th and 14th of September, 1851Here then, gentlemen, are seven assaults on the cars with stones, one demon stration against them with a gun or pistols, one assault with guns, one obstruction with timbers and one alleged burning of a mail car - in all eleven outrages. They are undoubtedly to be condemned. The actors in them ought to be and I hope will be detected and punished; but we have no proof that these outrages were committed by all or by any one or more of the defendants on trial here. We have no knowledge of the circumstances in which they were committed. We know that they were criminal, but we have no evidence that they were preconcerted nor that they Were connected with each other; still less that they were connected with any purpose of burning the depot at Detroit or any other depot. On the principle therefore of rejecting such evidence as leads to no conclusion concerning the existence of the conspiracy alleged, I claim that these transactions be laid by altogether ln the consideration of that question, or, at least, that they shall weigh no more than successive demonstrations of malice and guilt occurring within the region where the defendants lived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
