Upon the augacMtfon of A ttorney (imierul Hmy tli the motion for a new trial wae overruled by the court. All that remained wa to pan eeiitunce. Judge Corufeh, addrielug Mr. Mooro'e attorney, afd: "The defendant may take hie place be fore the liar," ' Mr, Moore advanced to the bar of the court with uiiMteady elope and leaned forward upon the deek The court then aked him what he had to eay why en bmce Nhould not be pained, Mr. Moore, with n voice trembling with emotion, epoke at hoiiim length. He eald: "I dclre the court to beaa lenient with me iin poNHfblc. Thl affair or contro verity hue caued my heart to almot break and my mental ditre ha been almoMt unbearable, I have never before been arraigned before any court upon any charge whatever; thl i my 11 ret offcne againt any law, aud I have alwaya etriven to be an houeet citlze ana an iionei oincer, i nave aone inie not only became ot my reepect for the law, but on account of my love for my wife aud my children. I have relied up on tho who were auppoaed to be my friend to aHit me in fraying to the etate whatever money it I claimed I owe, I have entertained hope that thl con tro verity would never brgin, but a It ha begun and ie now nearing it end, I deire to ay that 1 never took a cnt of anyone' money with any other inten tion than that of retornimr it whenever dcMired. Hi uce thl trial begun, and my accuser have riaen atfainnt trie on all eidea, I have endeavored to meet every point they have made aaliiNt me, "If 1 live long eiioiiirh, aud am able to do no, I hIiuII repay to the atate every cent which It I alleged 1 owe. I aliall do thl regard!" of any etep which the antireme court may take in the matter. I do not wIhIi to eacape the prlon to have my name blackeued, aud 1 ehull, if poHHible, pay back every farthing that the etate ay i coming to it. 1 have already paid to the atate f 4,000, and thl hae been every cent 1 have been uble to raiae. I have ancriflced everything to ward off the calamity that now eem to be upon me, but the Nucriflce ha not been ufllclt'ut, lean now ouly aek the court to be ae lenient with me a po- Idle." Mr. Moore waa far from compoaed during hi plea for mercy, but at the clone of It he broke down completely and wept like a child.
