[69]
In order, therefore, that, if
we get nothing else, we may at least have the satisfaction of seeing the
defendant also reduced to silence, come to our aid; have pity on those of our

the questions raised by the indictment itself; and show yourselves as judges of
his words such as he showed himself as our accuser.
