to offer him the last possible indig nity because it lavs at his door the most despicable of crimes a crime which involves total demoralization there was a time when it resulted in i duel and if a duel ought to be fought it is upon such a charge a man that is a liai deserves to be shot it any man does to make the charge is to attempt to do the man the great est injury possible it is tlie most
