college, on trial the past week on charge
of rape on little girl aged six and half
years, after deliberation of twenty-four
hours, rendered verdict of guilty on the
second count-attempt at rape. The pris-
Oner's counsel requested a suspension of
sentence until o'clock, which was granted
by the court. At that time the court and
corridors were crowded, and the
prisoners counsel made an eloquent
plea in his behalf for mercy. Judge
Haight in pronouncing sentence, intimated
that the jury had been pretty merciful in
the case and that the parents of other chill
dren had informed him of similar attempts
by the prisoner. He, therefore, sentenced
the prisoner to the full extent of the law,

might have added fine. The case has ex-
cited unusual interest, both here and else
where, as Brother Frank has held similar
positions at other places, including New
