one George Livingston, also an old resi-
dent of the county. well advanced IN years.

ly, endeavoring to frighten the murdered
man away from the prisoners premises

yer. Judge Reed presiding, sentenced

His son, Emile, was born at Marseilles,
July 2, 1925, and when twenty-five enter
ed his name as q member of the Paris bar.
Owing TO his fathers political services, he
was in 1648 appointed Commissary Gen

rim, Government candidate, as his oppo-
neRt. In the first session of this Legisla-
ture he was remarkable above all for his
coalition laws, and showed moderation
In his relations with the Government which
created some coldness between him and
his old political friends, which was increas'
ed by his course in the session of I865when
he spoke for and against Government
measures. In 1865 he was charged with
the French legal interest Of the Pasha of
Egypt, and Napoleon III, having accepted
