 l Green-faintly-" not guilty" ..a Judge-That is adding nothing to what has been said before. The plea was put in for you by your counsel and the issue has been tried with every ad- l vantage on your part. You have had the advantage of distinguished counsel, whose endeavors have been unremitting to secure your acqulttal. You
  friends of high responsibility and character, who have secured you every opportunity of presenting yonr whole case to the jury, fully and fairly.
 Notwithstanding this an intelligent and honest jury have found you guilty, and 1t IS not to he denl- ed that there is no individual who has heard this trial, that does not concur fully in that verd'ct- You stand condemned as guilty of having murdered your wife. Your in all its aspects. exceeds in enormity any of which have ever heard. It will TO doubt stand out on the page of history, as the most criminal awful case of murder that ever came before court and jury. You murdered her deliberately. You murdered ] the woman whom you had sworn but one short week, may say but four days before, to cherish l through life The woman whose destiny had been placed in your keeping. in less thar one week after marriage, you deliberately poisoned. You pursued d l your design, day and nght-repeating the deadly portion from time to time, until she expired-and thus added to the crime of murder. the black crime of periury-for you violated the most solemn VOW, taken at the altar. .' .r T.

You arc to be execu- ted-cut off in the prime of life, or rather just az you are entering on lfe-where you had rich and powerful friends to aid you-when you might have been respected-but from which you are to be cut off and consigned to an early grave.

You must not Aater yourself. therefore, with hopes that cannot be realized. You should immediately set about the work of preparation for death. Your friends that have stood by you through this trial will no doubt that you have every means to aid you Tn reali- zing your situation and of leading your mind to the contemplation of the heinous nature of the crime you have committed, and the importance of prepa- ration for your fnrl account. .'
