Mr.D.M.
Bennett, editor of the New York _Truthseeker_, had just died.

His end was hastened by the heart-disease he contracted while undergoing imprisonment for an "offence" similar to that of Mr.Truelove.

Yet almost at the moment of Mr.Bennett's death, another jury had found another publisher of the very same work Not Guilty.

I learned from the New York papers that the acquittal was partly due to the impartiality of the judge, partly to the progress the public mind had made on the population question, and partly to the fact that the accused publisher conducted his own defence.

Here was a gleam of hope.
