The Loeb-Leopold Case So I be written in the Book of Love, I do not care about that Book above. Erase my name or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love. Speech of Benjamin C. Bachrach May it Please Your Honor and you Gentlemen FOR the Prosecution: are approaching the close of this momen- WEtous hearing, and as I address myself to your Honor, I have a feeling of humility and un- worthiness. Mr. Darrow has talked at length on the one subject, if your Honor please, that has troubled us here, that is a subject of discussion throughout the entire world: What shall the punishment be? Shall it be death, or life imprisonment? And, if your Honor please, on the subject of punishment, the subject that possesses your Honor's entire interest, you have been listening to a master. He has told you, from his reading and study, of the growth and development of the ideas of punishment, from the ancient and barbarous past. Your Honor remembers his speaking of a case in which they burned a girl thirteen years of age. Here are six lines from Lawyers' Reports Annotated, mentioning this case. I read from page 200: The case of the girl mentioned was that of Alice DeWalborough, who Hale tells us (i Hale, Pleas, The 214
The Loeb-Leopold Case Crown, page 26) was burned to judgment when but thirteen years of age for the killing of her mistress, because by the ancient law none shall be hanged within age, which is intended the age of discretion, namely, fourteen years. The law could not hang her on account of her age, and so it burned her. My friend, Mr. Marshall, in the progress of this trial has read many court decisions — none in point. They must have been collected to read to a jury before whom he expected to try this case. But he had them here and read them on objections to evidence, motions to exclude evidence. He contended that your Honor had no right to hear anything in mitigation, but should only hear matters of aggravation, and having heard them in aggravation, the mitigation was wiped out; there- fore, you have a simple, complete case which would fit a hanging punishment, A wonderful plan of procedure, indeed. Now, let me show you something. Mr. Marshall read from Haensel, an Illinois case, 293. He pointed that out as a case which should convince your Honor that there is no merit in our position that the defendants at the bar should not be executed. The plaintiff in error met his wife, stuck a gun against her chest, demanded some papers, struck his mother-inlaw in the head with a pair of pliers, and as she ran back in the bedroom fired a shot, which passed through the right side of her chest. 215
