on which to hear the application for a
new trial and for sentencing McLsne
and Mcintyre. but owing to a mistake
b,ing made by the attorneys in not
presenting the statements on motion
for a new trial, until after the mo-
ton was denied, and then asking the
Judge to recall the ruling, the case
was laid over until the following Mon
day at 10 o'clock. In the meantime the
statements were presented and papers
gone through with and corrected, so on
Monday the motion for a new trial was
made and denied. The Judge then
asked George W. McLane, Jr.. to stand
up and receive his sentence, and upon
his doing 80 he asked McLane il he had
anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him. McLane said: ~
am not guilty of the crime. No matter
what sentence you pass upon me, am
not guilty." This not being sufficient

The Judge passed sentence upon him,
fixing the date OF his execution at the
same Tina as that of McLans's. During
the passing of the sentence McLsns
turned very pale, but exhibited no emo.
ton. Mcintyre, on the contrary, showed
signs of weakness in the limbs and trem-
bled considerably. but showed no emo
ton in his face. The prisoners were
then conveyed to their cells and heavily
ironed, it taking the blacksmith over an
hour, with all his tools and appliances,
in fixing them securely. The case will
be taken to the Supreme Court by the
respective counsel for the condemned
men.
