TRIAL OF
SIR JOHN FENWICK
Sir John Fenwick was the prince of
social highwaymen during the reign of
William III, and for being implicated
in a plot to assassinate his king he lost
his head. In fact, Sir John could not
have had very much head to lose, for
he was continuously "losing his head"
throughout the better part of his life.
He was a baronet and a man of consid
erable ability, but he was also of a
profligate and restless disposition.
Although Sir John commanded a
regiment in the service of William III
when that monarch was the Prince of
Orange, as soon as William became
king, John became one of the most per
sistent of plotters against his throne.
He was always fomenting disturbances
and was several times placed in the
Tower until his ardor somewhat cooled.
He was most rude to Queen Mary and,
according to one version, ventured to
cock his hat in her face, while other
versions add details of even more
marked impertinence.
Two years before he was finally
brought to trial he had concocted an
elaborate scheme for the assassination
of the king, but it miscarried in that
William unexpectedly left for Flanders
before it could be carried out. The plot
was discovered and Fenwick kept in
hiding. When the trial of his confed
erates, who had been captured, was
held, he found there were only two
witnesses he had to fear, so he decided
that he wonld be able to bribe them.
Sir John thought he had succeeded
and could make his escape, but he was
apprehended in Kent when of his way
to France. The king did not act hast
ily in his case because he believed he
could secure from him a confession
which would implicate others. Fenwick
only rrvealed as much as would impli
cate his political enemies.
When this confession was read, In
which he implicated Marlborough, Go
dolphin, Russell and Shrewsbury, the
king directed the confession to be sent
to the lords justices expressing, at the
same time, his astonishment and In
crudelity and gave orders that Fen
wick should be sent immediately before
a jury. It was deemed advisable, how
ever not to hurry matters too much,
for the prisoner might be induced to
make more revelations.
When brought before the bar of the
house of commons, Fenwick was still
obstinate, and it was moved and carried
without a division that his confession
was false and scandalous. While the
guilt of Fenwick was morally certain,
and was aggravated by his subsequent
disingenuous conduct, it can scarcely be
affirmed that the procedure against
him was justifiable, as regards either
the tribunal by which he was tried, or
the manner In which the trial was con
ducted. In fact, Fenwick's attainer was de
cided on to render escape impossible
and for the same reason the law re
quiring two witnesses in cases or trea
son was dispensed with, and there were
other Irregularities.
A writer commenting on the trial at
the time said: "I do not find many con
cerned for his person. The course of
his life has been such, and the man
agement of the part he had now to act so
bad, that he had few friends: but the
method of punishing him being out of
the common road, and such as has not
been often used, and when it has been
condemned by those who have judged
coolly, is what some are startled at."
Fenwick's wife. Lady Mary, used
every effort to save her husband's life
by petitioning both the king and the
house of lords, but Fenwick's adroit
ness in putting forward the plea that
he had been privy to an assassination
plot in 1695, and had frustrated it, only
served to prove how deeply he was in
the confidence of the conspirators
against William's throne.
The bill of conviction against Fen
wick was passed by the house of lords,
by the small majority of seven. Seeing
no hope was left, he desired the ser
vices of one of the deprived bishops, a

favor whloh he obtained through the
courteous help of Bishop Burnet. He
was beheaded on Tower-hill on Jan
uary 23, 1697.
Owing to Fenwick's connection with
so many noble families, and possibly
also to the fact that he had been pro
ceeded against by attainder, the for
malities employed at his execution
were similar to those used In the case
of a peer of the realm. Burnet states
that he "died very composed, in a
much better temper than was to be ex
pected, for his life had been very ir
regular." His remains were placed, by
his friends, in a rich coffin and buried
on the evening of his execution by
torchlight under the pavement of the
Church of St. Martin-in-the-Flelds,
where they lie near the altar.

OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING
STATE WIDE PHIBU1
The very important issue of state
wide prorihibition has been raised. A
campaign In favor of a constitutional
amendment will be shortly instituted.
This, like all other important ques
tions has two sides, on each of which
are founr honest and Intelligent per
sons. The Republican has decided to pro
vide for a reasonable discussion of
this issue In its pages, allowing to
each side at least a half column daily
for signed articles, for which there will
be no charge. No anonymous article
will be published.
It is only stipulated lhat the com
munications for and against prohibi
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
When Michael Kilroy reeled to his
tenement home in the early hours of
the holy Sabbath, in the Christian
city of Boston, his pockets emptied
of the money promised to his wife
(she a floor scrubber and woman of
general work, drunkard's . wife and
mother of drunkard's children) to
buy clothing for lack of which his
children were freezing: when he an
swered her appeal for a fulfilment
of his promise with a blow that
knocked her to the floor; when with
his fingers upon her throat he choked
her prayer for mercy; when with his
heavy boots he kicked that wife,
about to become the mother of an
other of his "drunkard's children;"
when he sat for hours listening to
her moans and watching her suffer
ings utterly unmoved by them; when
he brutally maltreated the children
who would have brought help: when
he struck away the water that her
little daughter was lifting to her
bloody, thirsting lips; throughout all
this, I say, drink alone actuated him.
Neither earth nor, hell has offered
any other agency, in the history of
the whole human race, that has im
pelled men to deeds of such atrocity!
In other words the saloon killed
Bridget Kilroy; and the saloon not
only made Michael Kilroy do that
Insanely devilish deed, but it has
transformed uncounted thousands of
other men into fiends of the some
low type, driven to deeds of equal
brutality.
Drink, friends, is today preparing
more men for just such deeds: and
you know, and we know and the
world knows, that it will take boys
from your churches, boys from your
schools, aye, God pity you! perhaps
even boys from your homes, and
will transform them into such brutes
to work, later, similar atrocities on
women who today are lovable and
loving girls. In my Sunday school, I
personally know some who have al
ready been carried to their homes
drunk!
It was only twelve days before the
butchery in that Boston tenement,
that Vincent Vincelsk came home
drunk in Pittsburg and chopped his
wife and children to death with a
rail-cutter. It was only thirteen days
before that John Blissctt of Detroit,
drunk, emptied his revolver into his
wife's body and poured kerosene over
her, and was standing with lighted
match to make her a burnt offering
to Drink when the police broke in
upon him: and just one month and
a day before, that father in Indiana
came home drunk, sought to kill his
wife with a hatchet, and insteadtwas
shot dead by . his son.
With what hideous glee must the
devil have laughed when ' he saw
these "jokes" of the saloon! And
such rases are innumerable. Indeed,
before Michael Kilroy came home to
kill Bridget, you and I aad every
body in the whole land kne that
because of the drink traffic some
man would come home and kill his
wife; knew that the hideous proces
sion of such crimes would keep right
on from the same accursed cause.
There follows another procession.
In a column as long as thecars
they continue marching on through
out the future, radiant with love and
beauty, crowned with wifely devotion
and motherly affection; some of them
grey-haired; some of them carrying
infants in arms; some, like Bridget
Kilroy, having little ones just ready
for birth, and others but just wear
ing bridal veils; while beyond these
are maidens and little girls, flcwer
crowned or with skipping ropes and
dolls, advancing to take their places,
in the distance, for, if "history re
peats itself," there is born every five
minutes one innocent qhild who is
destined to die a drunkard; and the
saloon-made brutes, the man who be
cause of a law-sanctioned temptation,
will have forgotten love and honor
and plighted troth, will shoot and
stab and stamp the lives out of them
also, before the gaze of the Amerl- j
can people, should it still tolerate
the saloon. '
tion be just and fair and that in no
case shall there be any wild and ex-
travaeant statement that will in any
way reflect upon the reputation of
Phoenix for good order.
It is suggested by The Republican
that either side, desiring to avail it
self of this offer of space, name a
committee through which all matter
relating to the issue shall be trans
mitted. In such case, all communica
tions received at this office from
other sources will be rejected. We
believe that this arrangement is ne
cessary to keep the discussion within
reasonable lines.
No paid advertisements from either
side will be accepted.
DRUGGIST'S OPPOSE AMENDMENT
Before members of the Arizona Phar
maceutical Association, assembled here
yesterday afternoon from every section
of Arizona, a letter from former Pres
ident Harry Brisley, of Prescott, was
read. This letter was in line with the
object of the meeting, discussing the
proposed liquor amendment to the state
constitution. There were also letters
from President J. H. Barnett of Mesa.
On the presumption that the proposed
amendment would prohibit druggists
from shipping in alcohol for use in
medicinal preparations, the association
voted that a committee be named to
give statewide publicity to that section
of the amendment and to endeavor to
secure the defeat of so much of it as
would so effect the business of the re
tail and the manufacturing druggists.
This committee consists of W. H. Tim
erhoff, Prescott. chairman; Ed Litt,
Tucson: J. M. Ball, Bisbee: Thomas E.
Thorpe, Phoenix; Will Marlar, Flag
staff. The Brisley letter is as follows:
Prescott, Ariz., July 20, 1914.
Gentlemen of the Pharmaceutical
Association of Arizona:
Finding it impracticable to be with
you at the meeting called in the city of
Phoenix to sound in our ranks the toc
sin of alarm, I yet wish you to know
that as your first president, (though
president no longer). I am still with
you to the last ditch, particularly in
the matter now before us and affect
ing so vitally our calling and the honor
of our profession.
The danger menacing us while at
present appearing intangible because
our indictment is not yet read or the
prison bars about us, is no less real in
fact. The foe we fear is at the gate
demanding entrance, and only determ
ined resistence with every agent at our
disposal and every brother shoulder to
shoulder using his weapons of defense
can assure us our freeJim from ser
vitude. Antipathy to alcohol is running riot;
the people with a little knowledge are
proving dangerous; those having one
good thotieht are losing every other by
abnormally enlarging this regarding
the ba'duiiness of alcohol; the very
people who pride themselves upon ther
moral lives rnd good influence on bo
ciety, church, r.nd stat;- are now f uivi
en masse before the palace of justice
demanding the death of one w horn they
for years have been trained to believe
has nothing of good in him, yet if
whose clamour be so appeased will be
forced to'admit they have foolishly an!
cruelly slaughtered a friend in dis
guise, one of the most useful and pow
erful agents for good as well a-? evil
that God ever gave to the mind of man
to perceive. We as pharmacists know
only too well that "they know not what
they do," and if sucessful would rue
fully regret the carnage done in their
heated moments.
Admitting, as we most, that alcohcl
Is an agent of great harm to mankind
if foolishly or Immoderately used, yet
the same may be said of nearly if not
all material things so long as we are
upon this earth to which we are born,
and if it is got d sense to demand and
yote for the to'al destruction and use
of alcohol in Arizona, It must be equal
ly wise or equally foolish to call for
abolishment of all sex relationship; to
prohibit the importation, sale or use in
any way of any knife or other cutting
tool capable of inflicting injury upon
another and so to deprive other crafts
than ours of the tools of employment,
relegating all of us to the good old
days when our forefathers gnawed
bones and tore flesh while squatting
upon their rush covered hearths of
home.
This would seem a menace impos
sible in this year of our Lord, nineteen
hundred and fourteen, but that you
may realize the danger is a very real
one you have only to carefully peruse
the written opinions before the voters
In Arizona and, to credit the written
opinions of leading attorneys whose
letters are now before you.
I charge that the framers of this
proposed law exhibit their unfitness as
legislators by the crudity of its pro
visions; their blindness in not per
ceiving that it carries the elements for
its own rapid death, and that hatred
has lead them to mistake fanaticism
approaching that of the East Indian
as the religious duty of a Western
supporter of the church and her in
fluences. In order that faddists be allowed full
sway shall we as druggists be branded
as criminals and felons subject to im
prisonment, and confiscation of all
fruits of our years of industry because
we import into the state alcohol for
which the federal government has is
sued us a license? And which is neces
sary to us in fulfilling our obligations
as pharmacists to the people of this
state and for which duty the state has
issued us permits?
This law if it carries, as at present is
most likely, makes us felons if wo
honor almost any prescription of a phy
sician, or refill those already in the
possession of the patient; while exist
ing laws would rightfully penalize us
if we refused.
The housewife, the nurse, or the
mother anxiously brooding over her
sick child, must be refused those rem
edies on which so much depend and
which she has been taught to use, as
spirit! of nitre, paregoric, spirits of
camphor, tincture of iodine, witch ha
zel, or any recipe into which the smal
lest amount of alcohol necessarily
enters.
The barber using bay rum, the clean
ly person in the daily use of listerine,
the child early taught the value of ru
bifoam upon its teeth, the responsible
citizen calling for the usual tonic for
his near-bald pate each must be re
fused his seemingly innocent demand:
and respectfully bow to the wishes of
others who will have forged their ideas
into a concrete force at the voting sta
tions. If this is wise legislation, proceed
next to rob the carpenter of his ham
mer and the farmer of his horse, pro
hibit automobiles and railway engines,
especially imprison and heavily fine
every person found in possession of
firearms; and, to cap the climax of
this exhibition of ignorance, prohibit
the manufacture, use, purchase, or car
riage of anything capable of making
a fire!
It is for us who are most conversant
with the necessity and the uses of al
cohol, aided by the physicians of tho
state, to proceed at once in the edu
cation of the voter, that he may real
ize that the spirit of wine is not an
unmixed evil, but, like fire, is a neces
sary agent and good friend to man
kind. And who, in a campaign of this
sort, has so many opportunities as the
druggists and his clerks? We must uso
the opportunity the public gives us by
informing our customers and friends
by word of mouth, by placards in tho
store and out. or by public pronounce
ment, of what alcohol means to us and
to them. Request the voter to register
his or her no to the constitutional
amendment as proposed, until oppor
tunity is given to amend it by an in
sertion exempting alcohol when it is
shown to be for medicinal, scientific,
mehanical. sacramental, or toilet use.
Publish our appeal in our trade mag
azines, request every newspaper in tin;
state to voice our fears and our opin
ions oi this most important matter,
for the good of their readers.
And it would appear that, owing to
this hasty and ill-considered amend
ment as proposed by the opponents of
the saloon, and those who oppose the
use of wine or beer in any form, willy
niily we shall find ourselves lined up
with those of the other fide, thus ex
posing ourselves to the probable
charge that we as druggists favor the
use and sale of whiskey for "business
greed" reasons.
But we. may safely, I believe, leave
this false charge iO rankle in those
sma'll brains who give it breath. Mean
while, I advise you individually and as
an association, get busy.
Yours very truly.
HARRY BRISLEY.
