little Incident in his conversation that Isl

has crimsoned his hands in the blood of Al

was dead, but that his mother is now living
and that there was but one thing connec-
ted with the horrid crime for which he must
soon pay the penalty, that brought peace
to his mind, and afforded him, unhappy as
he was, a CLEAN Of consolation. In making
out the accusation, the prosecuting atto-nev
