Ralph. That was his motive for the crime!
Mor. Silence! [To Reginald.] In the face of the evidence, I am forced to believe you guilty. I regret that a soldier such as you have heretofore proved yourself to be, should come to such an ignominious end. [Ralph consulting with others. Henry walks aside.]
Reg. Do you believe me guilty, Colonel? [He turns from Reginald.] And do you all think me guilty of this cowardly crime? [They all look away but Henry, who takes Reginald by the hand.]
Hen. No! I would believe you innocent, had they ten times the evidence.
Ralph. The evidence has proven his guilt most conclusively!
Mor. [To Reginald.] Have you anything to say why I should not pass sentence upon you?
Reg. I have not!
Hen. Oh, Reginald, why do you not defend yourself? Why not make an effort to prove your innocence?
Reg. Henry, what have I to live for now? Adrienne is gone from me. She has left the world dark and dreary to me. I long to join her there! [Points upward.]
