him, to all of which be replied in the neg
alive.
Judge Wilkin then said:
'sGeorge Washington, for the crime with
which you have been indicted and have plead
guilty, now sentence you to hard labor IN the
prison at Saltwater for the term of your natural
| life."
The same questions we're in turn pro-
pounded by Judge Wilkin to A. l.. Under
hill, who at the close made some inaudible
reply which was not heard in the court
room, which the judge at once interrupted
| with the sentence as follows:
ga L. Underhill, for the crime for which
YOU have been indicted and have plead guilty, L
now sentence you to hard labor In the prison at
Saltwater for the term of your natural life"
Sheriff O'Gorman then approached the
prisoners from behind and turning them
round quickly led them from the court
room. AS they faced toward the entrance
half defiant grin was observable IN
the countenance of George Washington
while Underhill seemed to be somewhat
nervous from the ordeal.
| A close observation of the facial appear
lance and formation of the heads of the
criminals seemed to show dare devil ele-
ment in Washington under the mask of
great impurtebility and immobility of fea-
ture, while his head was of chronological
development which evidenced destructive
nature.
The head of Underhiu presented no
marks to indicate criminal character,
neither did his face until at the mouth,
chin and laws. These evidenced q brutal
ferocity totally foreign to the contour OF
the upper portion of his face and the shape
of his head.
During the sentence, which was very
| brief, a breathless silence prevailed, which
gave way upon the conclusion to buzz or
ripple of excitement. and the felons were
at once hustled back to jail.
RIDE FOR LIFE.
As the indignation seemed to be gain
ing, and as a mutter of dissatisfaction was
heard in the crowds that gathered about
the court house, it was decided to lose no
time in placing the men in their final
earthly abode, and in less than fftee n
N inutes after the sentence they were on
the way to the Union depot to catch tn g
Saltwater train, which left at 2:15 o'clock
They were put in a carriage and hustled
to the train, the prisoners being accom-
panied by Sheriff O'Gorman, Capt. Bresset
and Chief CLARK, the latter going only as
far as the train.
At the train the party took seats in the
smoking car, being Joined by GLOBE re-
porter, who accompanied them to SILVIA
ter. From the minute they boarded the
| car up to the time the train pulled out, the
anxious to obtain glimpse of the muir
derers. The crowd surged in and out of
the car, blockading the platform, and to
have caught casual glimpse of the affair
one would have supposed that the
car contained some distinguished visitors
who were about to pull out, and that the
crowd had assembled to bid them bon BOY
age. Meantime the prisoners took mat
ters differently. They were handcuffed to
get'ler and of course occupied the same
seat. Washington pulled away at cigar
and intently perused a copy Of the GLo2E
containing an account of the crime, and Of
their arrest and arrival in this city. He
| took things very coolly and. seemed alb
sorbed in this paper.
Matters were different with Underhill, the
real assassin. The big beads of perspira-
ton stood out on his fat, fabby nose, and
his sharp, keen eye glanced nervously
around, taking in I'll that was going on
There was no uoubt but he was terribly
frightened and that he expected an at
tempt would be made to lynch him. He
like an aspen leaf.
At 2:15 O'Clock the sail aboard" was
given and the train pulled out. The
| change of expression on Underhill's face
was magical; he seemed to become more
composed, and look of something like
satisfaction settled in his countenanoe,
which was still an ashen pallor and Gov
cred with sweat.
| AS the train increased in speed Under
hill became quite cheerful, and taking ad-
vantage of his mood, the GLOBE reporter
fired away as follows:
"Well Dick, how are you pleased with
the result?"
Il suppose have got to be pleased"
was the reply. got life; and (facetious-
ly.) don't know how long that will be; it
may be (hesitatingly,) next week"
you consider then that pleading guilty
was better way to get out of the scrape
than taking chances"
"Well yes; you see felt satisfied that !
stood no show of getting fair trial; the
people were down on me, and I don't
feel as if justice hao been
done. Another thing they
talked about mobbing US, and you see we
had no show
"Tell me how the shooting took place,
now that the affair is over"
Il amt got nothing to say about it; the
thing is all over with now, and have got
nothing more to say.'
"There has been so much said about it
that the people would like to have your
side of the story
"Well, sir, I have no story to tell; some day
l may give you history of my life, and it
has been mighty good one, too, but I
can't talk now"
And he wouldn't talk on the subject any
more, either, evadipg all conversation that
tended in this direction.
The reporter then tackled Washington,
but with do better success. The latter
maintained the same philosophical indif-
