This is one of those peculiar cases of outlawry for which the law itself is largely responsible, and I don't know of any one I would say this to but you.

The father was hanged, as I have said.

Six months later it was discovered, beyond a doubt, that the law had taken the life of an innocent man, and that DeBar had been sent to the gallows by a combination of evidence fabricated entirely by the perjury of enemies.

The law should have vindicated itself.

But it didn't.
