Remember, if you hang this man, you can never bring him back to life.
"There must be some motive shown for the supposition of such an act as murder.

What motive can be shown here?

You all know, as we shall prove, that this man Juan was never known to ride a horse.

We shall prove that he walked sixty miles, to the very spot where the horse had been tied, and that he scorned to touch a horse on his whole journey.

He wanted no horse.
