Judge Ulrich, who has the reputation of having handed out more Death sentences than any other jurist in the world, left the court to cogitate...

He emerged from the court records so great that even his worst enemies quarreled over the honor of killing him; so well-guarded that would-be assassins sat in his presence not daring to pull the trigger; so idolized that Zinoviev's secretary, rather than kill Stalin, killed himself; so lucky that every plot against him failed; and finally so wise that a whole boxful of Bolsheviks intent on killing him did not try to justify themselves by uttering one critical or abusive word against the Perfect Dictator...
