"What would Englishmen say of the British government if it were idle while a foreign army marched to London? What would Americans say of the Washington government if it were limp in the presence of an alien foe? China has not yet received an official and specific promuiclaniento setting forth the intentions of the powers. She must regard all armed invaders..as enemies until they soltmnly proclaim themselves friends." Bresci, he said, had not been sent tc kill the king; he did the act of his own free will. An anarchist was free to dc as he pleased. An anarchist, he said, might decide in his own mind to kill a king and kuow when he had done it that he would have to give his life for it, but he would give his life gladly. Bresci, he said, had killed the king, and he was glad, although he knew he would have to suffer for his act. All knew the king was dead. Esteve said that he would not cry and that he was not sorry. Ha asked if any one present mm sorry. This was greeted with laughter and applause. Esteve ended his speech with the exclamation, "I am not sure what you people think over the death of the king, but for me I don't care that," snapping his fingers as he said so.

In 1863 Joseph Thorne and his wife adopted May Lillian Lee, the plaintiff, then nearly 2 years old. The child was the daughter of Lieutenant William Henry. Lee*of the British army.
