- ""I can safely say, as a general inference drawn from a long familiarity with the prosecution of crime, both as District Attorney and Attorney General, that as flagrant cases and as depraved characters have been exhibited amongst a class of persons who have enjoyed the ordinary elementary instruction of our New England schools, and, in some instances, of the higher institutions of learning, as could be found by the most diligent investigation among the convicts of Norfolk Island or of Botany Bay"--Ex-Governor Clifford."
