fcnce of DEATH the crowd which had gathered was fuy
equal to that which waited all day Saturday to hear
the decision Of his The most intense silence was
maintained during The somewhat long conoquy which
ensued between sharkeys counsel and the Court and
which ended in the prisoners having sort OF respite
nt next saturday before the dreaded sentence should
he pronounced
The proceedings began by an application by Mr.
Brooke o. behalf of Shlrkcy for time Addressing
the Recorder he referred first 10 the verdict OF satu
day, with the recommendation TO mercy and the sub
sequeut application for delay made by the defense, in

Among them there matters contained in the

unpreparcd 70 make the suggestions based upon
those matters which they designed and in
tended. There other matters Of
most serious legal aspect and import in support OF this
motion whicA could not he properly presented in
accordance with the gravity Of he on the short in

you viii further remand the prisoner for week. to give
us opportunity Of filing and Of properly
introducing matters 10 the Court WHICH we lulnk

Nothing induce me TO change my mind as TO the
legal ouestiOns in this case, have carefully con

Mr.. Beach-We entertain sincere conviction that
the verdict Is erroneous and that fair cOnsidera

you considered the questions nvuvedwe may present
considerations which will appeal strongly your dis
