The following from an account o
a murder, arrest and tried by a ricl
and highly respectable man in New
York in 1871, shows that money. wa
not so effective then, as now in say
ing big murdercrs from the gallows
lie expiated his crime.
lie was defended by three of th,
ablest criminal lawyers of that time
but he had formable prosecutor IN
the person of District Attorney
Whiting. The line of defense wa.
a plea of manslaughter in self-de.
Tense, but the jury, after an exciting
deliberation of five hours, returned
with a verdict of "murder in the
first degree" Strenuous exeriions
were made to save him from the ex-
IRENE penalty of his crime. The
case was carried from the local TO the
Supreme Courts, and even to the
Court of Appeal, but all in vain.
Money was spent by thousands, bat
In spite of every effort he was SEN
fenced TO be hanged ON the 18th of
November, 1912, over year from the
day Of the murder.

The st. Paul Press says there arc
$4,000 acres of amber sugar-cane
planted in Minnesota this year. Last
year there was 900 acres and the
yield of strip was about 2,li0,OOO
gallons. II is expected that the yield
this year win be proportionately in
creased. The yield of slrup is from
40 to 2S0 gallons per acre. The Press
thinks the time is not far distant
when Minnesota will not only pro-
duce all the sugar, strip and vinegar
that is needed orhome consumption,
but will have immense quantities for
export.
