his hope of Heaven.
Brown spoke next. He said that he
had killed the man for his money, that
he was about to die for his crime. lie
believed God would forgive him.

saw Mr.. Ehrhardt or rs Il child unborn /;
that Basil Smith killed Sir. Ehrharai,
and that, being innocent, he was willing
to die 10 meet his God. where angels
would carry HIM in triumph TO Heaven.
