I have, may it please the Court, a few words to say.

In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted, the design on my part to free the slaves. I intended certainly to have made a clean thing of that matter, as I did last winter, when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the snapping of a gun on either side, moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada. I designed to have done the same thing again, on a larger scale. That was all I intended. I never did intend murder, or treason, or the destruction of property, or to excite or incite slaves to rebellion, or to make insurrection.

I have another objection; and that is, it is unjust that I should suffer such a penalty. Had I interfered in the manner which I admit, and which I admit has been fairly proved (for I admire the truthfulness and candor of the greater portion of the witnesses who have testified in this case), had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife, or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right; and every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment.

This court acknowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the law of God. I see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New Testament. That teaches me that all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me, I should do even so to them. It teaches me, further, to "remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them." I endeavoured to act up to that instruction. I say, I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done as I have always freely admitted I have done in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit; so let it be done!

Let me say one word further.

I feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I have received on my trial. Considering all the circumstances, it has been more generous than I expected. But I feel no consciousness of guilt. I have stated from the first what was my intention and what was not. I never had any design against the life of any person, nor any disposition to commit treason, or excite slaves to rebel, or make any general insurrection. I never encouraged any man to do so, but always discouraged any idea of that kind.

Let me say, also, a word in regard to the statements made by some of those connected with me. I hear it has been stated by some of them that I have induced them to join me. But the contrary is true. I do not say this to injure them, but as regretting their weakness. There is not one of them but joined me of his own accord, and the greater part of them at their own expense. A number of them I never saw, and never had a word of conversation with, till the day they came to me; and that was for the purpose I have stated.

Now I have done.

The framers put clauses in the Constitution to allow for amendments to be made if specific issues should arise once the federal system was implemented. They also allowed for parts of the Constitution to be interpreted in different ways.

It typically stands for time, or for time passing or time running out.

Same problems that exists today, long after the classification system has been developed and generally accepted as a standard: 1. People don't always follow the standard. For example, many plants have common names that remain firmly entrenched. Let's face it, everybody knows what a sunflower is, but how many would recognize it's official name of Helianthus annuus? How many could even pronounce it? 2. As our collective knowledge increases, the standard classifications may be changed. In the 1990s, florist mums stopped being Chrysanthemum and became Dendranthema. After years of debate, they became Chrysanthemum again. Go figure.

You have to remember what the world was like politically at the time. Henry was an Englishman, and head of the Metropolitain Police in London. When he developed his system (with the help of Haque and Bose, of course), it was introduced to Scotland Yard, who in turn introduced it to a variety of U.S. police officials at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904. Once trained, it just stuck. Vucetich simply did not have as much access and therefore influence to the outside world as Henry did. Vucetich's system is actually easier to use, and just as accurate if you include its subdivisions. Many Spanish-speaking countries still use it, especially in South America. And Interpol uses both systems. The reason Henry is used in England and the U.S. is simply a matter of cultural advertising back in the early 1900s. == == The Henry system was more accurate
