LOYOLA COLLEGE Page 10 REVIEW | THE MAN WITH THE HALTER By LAWRENCE BYRNE Cars was hanged as the sun rose. All the e day, Q. Decimus Brutus, an assistant to the Governor of the Province, had sat in judgment. Ordinarily, the Governor himself would have heard the case, but his attention was Шаша by another—of far greater importance, 'twas said—in the city, not so far distant. Brutus had been meticulously fair in his attitude towards the accused, but the evidence was overwhelmingly against the prisoner. The charge of inciting the people to disobey the edicts of Imperial Caesar had been clearly proved. Indeed, Caius did not even deny the charge but had based his defense — on the plea that, as a leader of the people, it was his duty to protect them from injustice and tyranny. As the trial dragged on and the day grew hotter and hotter, Brutus found himself becoming more and more interested in the prisoner. As a member of the admin istration, he had watched with considerable anxiety Caius’ rise to popular favour, for he knew by experience that reformers of his type could prove more troublesome to Imperial Rome than the rebellion of an entire colony of barbarians. And, indeed, Caius had proved troublesome. He had excited public opinion, and had led a minor revolt in a demand for reforms and the cancellation of a special tax imposed by Caesar. It had been decided to try Caius in the very village in which he had been captured. It was a small and poverty-stricken place, barely a hundred men, women, and children living in the scattered buildings, and as he looked at the silent throng that crowded about during the progress of the trial, Brutus gained some inkling of the misery of their lives, and how Caius’ impassioned oratory had inspired them with the hope of happier times. Towards the close of the sun-scorched afternoon the trial ended. Brutus sighed. By instinct a kindly man, he had no liking for his task, but he spoke evenly and with a judicial calm, briefly reviewing the charges, the evidence, and the penalty demanded by the law. In giving judgment, he condemned Caius to suffer the penalty of death by hanging. He gave orders to the Centurion at his side that the prisoner should die at sunrise the next day, and his body should hang, exposed to public gaze as a warning to others, and that it might be claimed by Caius relations at sunset. As Brutus rose and the brass-helmeted guards raised arms in salute, a woman in the crowd was heard crying her son's name. But Caius carried himself bravely, a smile resting on his face. And at sunrise the next day he died with the same smiling courage, so that even the Roman soldiers showed him a rough and kindly respect. The deed now over, one Roman soldier remained, guardian of the body that dangled limply from the gibbet rope. Three people—two men and a woman—were close-by, and because of their indifference to all about them, except the boy who swung at the end of the rope, they did not notice the man with a halter coiled about his arm, who left the road at the foot of the hill, and began the upward climb to the place of execution.
