Christ was charged with one oflfense, and was con- victed of a totally different ofifense of greater degree. To-day, in the courts of America, no man can be convicted of any other crime than that with which he is charged, unless it be a lesser degree of the same crime. Christ was tried with the utmost haste. With us, even in flagrant cases, self-confessed criminals are not rushed with indecent haste to their trial or punish- ment. Christ was not confronted with his witnesses. This right with us... cannot be denied to the lowest wretch. Christ was made a witness against himself.
