TIE SH4NDLEY MURDER.
A SENTENCE.


In October last, William McCutcheon stabbed
q Lad named James Shandey in the groin with pen
knife and shandey died from the effects OF the wounds
There were some attendant going to show
great excitement on the part of the prisoner and an ao
sehce OF deliberate generalization of murder The Dis
rict Attorney consented to plea OF equity OF
murder In the second degree that plea put IN
me criminals counsel Mr.. Wm s. Yard asked that SON
tence be delayed till matters in mitigation conld be ad
duced urging that there necessity for immediate
Judgment Judge Barnard denied the motion saying
that he could see no necessity for, or proprety IN
granting postpOnement Of the sentence In conjunc-
ton with tho DstrictAttorney and Mayor Hall he had
examined the evidence this case and his own opinion
was that jury would not be able TO find the prisoner
guilty OF higher crime than that OF murder In the
second degree. There might have been want Of pre-
meditated intent and that the reason the District
Attorney accepted the plea without any provocation
reason but because the prisoner had asked the deceased
to treat and Shandey had replied no had money, the
prisoner had stabbed him. and therefore, he had now to
impose sentence, but in doing he desired to say that
the present state Of feeling OF the community had not
the slightest influence the judgment he pronounced
He was placed here solely TO do his duty public off,
GER thing which he had yet in the OF any
prisoner before him failed to do Looking at the enomity
Of the oense and TO prevent such crimes In tho future
the Court would order that the prisoner, William
McCueheon be imprisoned In the State Prison at hard
labor for the period of his natural life .
