HANGING PLAYED OUT IN NEW York.
In the case of Gill, tried for the muir

were unable to ngree and were dis
charged. The prisoner. with the con-
sent of the District Attorney, then
pleaded guilty to murder in the second
decree, and was sentenced to the State
prison for life. with hard labor. Re.
corder Huckett remarked that he never
heard ease where the elements OF
premeditation and deliberation we're
more clearly shown than in the cnse Of

apparent. but he must conclude thai
