Text Appearing Before Image:
other hand,through the Commune, used every means toinspire horror of the tyrant. Those who had beenwounded on the tenth of August were made todefile before the bar, and one man, whose woundswere still gaping, was carried by on a litter. It came to the final voting. It began on January15th. The verdict was almost unanimous thatLouis was guilty. But the debates and votes onthe questions of appealing to the people, on whatpenalty should be imposed on Louis, and whetherit should be immediate or subject to delay, occupiedfive days. The first reading of the ballots thatcondemned the King to death gave a majority,in favour, of only five votes, A recount gave amajority of fifty-three. Robespierre, Couthon, and Barere were thestrongest advocates of haste. Robespierre, indeed,had been in favour of not holding a regular trialover Louis, but of putting him to death at once asan enemy of the state. Louis is not an accused,he had said on December 3d, you are no judges. Proces-verbal. f^ifsirs^ffiw
