was committed while the prisoner was under
acute mania caused by starvation and the
imprisonment Of his wife for mcndicancy.
On being informed by the interpreter of
the sentence the prisoner showed no change
in his countenance, but his little wife was
quite demonstrative in her feelings Of Joy
at her husbands escape from the gallows.
Porcello is closely watched, for fear he will
make another attempt upon his life. A
benevolent association has taken care Of
his wife and child.
