The only question, however, now to be decided is, whether the oflfence proved is, like the OF JOHN ADAMS. 211 offence charged, treason against the United States. The af- firmation must be incontestibly established, as to the fact and the intention, by the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act ; but remember, I pray you, what the venerable Lord Mansfield stated to the jury on Lord Gordon's trial ; for if you doubt (it is the principle of law as well as humanity) you must acquit." Mr. ...Dallas then called several witnesses, in order to prove that the crime w^ith which Fries was charged, only amounted to a riot. 'Mr. Ewing, after the evidence on the part of the prisoner was closed, addressed the jury in a very pathetic and ingenious speech. He said he was sensible that Fries had been guilty of a flagrant violation of law, an offence for which he deserved to suffer, and which the good of society required should be pun- ished ; but he contended and asserted with confidence, because he thought the law would bear him out, that no act the pris- oner had committed, could be construed treason by the most rigid or strained construction of law.
