 JUDGE PISNEY had no pleasant task sentencing five men to be hanged. It is an ordeal that no Judge covets and the accounts show the Judge realized the solemnity of the occasion much more than the doomed men, who are said to have passed the affair off as a huge joke. In prOnoUDcing sentence Judge Pinney said: "You have all been indicted by the grand jury, tried and convicted for the crime of murder ln the first degree. There Is but little left for me to do; you have appeared in court and stated that you were without means, l assigned able counsel for your defence, as the law provides, and as 1t was my duty to do. An impartial jury have been impanneied to try your case. they have returned verdict of murder in the first degree. Counsel have done all that they could do for you. On the conclusion of the testimony 1t was agreed that argument should be waived and the case submitted to the jury upon the instructions of the court. h my judgment this course on the part of your counsel wss as wise course as they could follow. The facts and cir m this case, and the links Tn the chain that have been proved step by step have convinced the jury that tired you that yOu five men were guilty of the murder of Mr Smith aud the other parties at Bisbee on the Sth of Decem- Der last It would i'll become me or any one in my position to heap anything Tn the way of abuse upon you, 1 rather pity you. The facts and circumstance as de- tailed in this case to my mind satisfy me hat the verdict the jury has rendered s proper It is not a pleasant duty for any man in my position to pronounce the sentence which the law imposes, md I repeat that it i'll becomes me ID my position Co heap any words of abuse upon you. I pity any man that 80 far 'orgets his duty to his country and his God, and so far forEets the teachings of ! christian mother, that one, if not all of snu, have had in yOur childhood, as to permit himself to be SO lost to humanity md society, to become so lost to every hing human and decent, that yod per nit yourself to enter iuto plan to com nit the crime as charged agaIns. you. Nothing that 1 could say would aid you lere. It only involves upon me to per orm the last act that can be performed lere The sentence of the court Is that -ou be taken hence to the county jail md there confined until the 2Sth day of March, 1881, and on that day between he hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon T s- .F4a--~A-n aanh nf
