Thompson, one of the best Known members of the bar in the state of Washington and A man beloved by all who know him ? Phe pathos of the picture will appeal to the people of Pierce county, as it has already wrung the hearts of the Mutual friends of the late Judge Emory and of Mr. Thomp fon. But it will not stay the hand of justice Twelve gro gen and true, strangers to those most vitally inter be asked to determine the guilt or innocence of the boy whose deed has stricken with sorrow two households in this community ' Throughout it all, however, whatever other sentiment Seattle may express, sympathy for the father of the boy, as well as for the widow and the children of the murdered man, will be sincerely felt. No man in Seattle, perhaps, was a greater friend of the murdered man than was the father of the boy who murdered him. Mr, Thompson's address at the meeting of the King County Bar association, called for the purpose of taking action on the death of Judge Emory, told of this friendship in words so beautiful and of such heartbreaking pathos that it is herewith re- produced. Mr, Thompson spoke with much difficulty, as follows: “I think I can fully real in the desert, in a land of sand and dust and drought, per e the situation of one who, lost fshing of thirst, comes upon a path made by the wild herds in passing to and from some desert spring and knows not which end of the path leads away from or towards the wa- ter, and who must choose or perish. “Some of my brother attorneys in great kindness have begged me to speak in this hour, some have urged upon me that silence is best. If I speak, I may regret it. If I refrain, 4 know I shall regret it. Words sometimes have strange power and make destinies, The greatest wizard of words fn our day but a few days ago told us of the magician who put forth some words and they became live things, and ran about. Some of them made their way into the hearts of men and stirred them to the doing of mighty things. But there are times when words seem to lose their power. They @o not become alive, and will not go into the hearts of men. “No august power looks out upon age-long darkness now and says ‘let there be light,’ and light comes out of dark- mess. No pale, sad man goes down to the door of a tomb and says ‘Lazarus, come forth,’ and sees the cold rs open, the cerements fall away and the sleeper waken and come forth, “I knew Judge Emory well. For sixteen years we were friends. I knew he was my friend, and he knew I was his friend. Sixteen years ago in beautiful grounds out by the shore of Lake Washington I watched the old heroic play of knighthood where mounted men tilted with lances and mocked the tourneys of the old chivalric days. It was a game I knew weil, having often witnessed it in the old sum- mer land of the South. “Emory was one of the successful knights who bore away the trophies of that field, and I was chosen to present to the successful knights the memorials of their triumph. That evening in a beautifully decorated hall, hung with heraldic banners, Meade Emory knelt before me, and there in the presence of the smiling girl, who afterwards became his wife, I placed upon his young and curly head the laurel wreath that marked his victory, “We were friends ever after, and if words would do their duty now, there is so much that I would like to say of him who sleeps, But words have lost their power; they will not take life for me, and run about, and go into the hearts of men, and move them as I could wish. I cannot speak, but I can feel, and he who watches while we mourn, knows that if there were one, and but one, feeble lingering ray of light left in my darkened and silenced home I would give it to illumine the hearts of the widowed wife and orphaned children of this man who has passed from us, though I and mine should sit in darkness while ever life shall last.” AMUSEMENTS, Both Phones 4a."
