CAST was in hne trim while Burns appeared
to be overturned. The match was for $1,000
and if Burns stood up through four three
minute rounds he was to pocket the stakes
and IS per cent of the gate money. Fender
CAST at first spared cautiously, but finding
his opponent did not respond to his advances

sion upon the Englishman. knocking him ell
around the ring. He was knocked clean Oh
his feet twice in the first round and seemed
utterly unable to ward Cd q single blow Of
his antagonist. The crowd howled in defi-
sion ~ they had expected to see . scientific
match. In the second round Pendsrgast's
first blow knocked Burns under the ropes on
the reporters table. He crawled back to the
stage and was once more vainly trying to
ward of the blows which were being shower
ep upon him, when police captain Williams
stepped between the fighting men and re-
fused to permit the exhibition to 60 on. The
Kisses of the crowd had no effect upon the
captain and the match was finally decided .

The argument of Attorney General
CIeaves in the Wilkinson murder trial. in
favor of the conviction Of the prisoner for
premediiated murder. was sound and will
be acquiesced in by the public. The ar
gument was that Wilkinson premeditated
murder when he started out from Port
land on his maranding expedition. In
that city he armed himself with weapons
TO kill anybody who might oppose him in
his efforts to steal and escape with his
booty. This shows beyond . doubt that
murder was in his mind At that time He
intended when he supplied himself with
revolver that he would kill Whatever per-
son came between him and his criminal
purposes. The victim was officer Law
renee Of Bath, faithful policeman en-
deayoring to defend the property of citi-
zens Of that place.
It IL fact that robbery Il much nearer
akin to murder than tits usually considered
TO be. Robbery in lis very inception in
ciudes the element Of murder. There 10
not a burglar who when he determines To
break, enter and rob. does not at the same
time make up his mind TO kill II killing be
necessary to the accomplishment OF his
purposes. He Is q murderer at heart ~
we'll as robber. He lays his plans for
one as well as tie other. With his burg
lars tools he prepares his revolver. knife
or club. He considers the weapons OF
death ~ necessary in the fulflment OF bis
wicked plans as the implements necessary
70 force bolts and bars. 1t Ii not only the
bank burglar. armed to the teeth when he
makes his iorays upon the strong safes
and walls Of banking institutions. who
premeditstes murder; il Is every man
like Wilkinson who attempts to enter
the store. shop or dwelling house,
and steal from them whatever he
may find to lay his hands upon. Every
citizen will defend his house and property
from midnight robbers. at the peril Of his
life. and the desperate who goes about
breaking locks and stealing prepares him
self for the deadly encounter and the COM
mission OF murder rs early and as effectu-
ally rs he plots robbery.
II the facts could be ascertained we have
no doubt it would appear that few burg
laries are planned without including with
In them premeditated murder. In the
State Prison the robber convicts look
down upon with contempt and will not
associate with those confined for murder.
but careful analysis Of what goes TO
make up n burglar will prove him muir
derer In intent. and only saved from being
murderer in fact by accidental and fav-
oring circumstances.
