Conviction Of pynamiters in London.

The trial of Cunningham and Burton was
brought to a conclusion recently. The court
room was crowded, among the notables being
United States Minister Phelps The prisoners
wore an anxious look and followed Judge
Hawkins charge with intense interest The
drift OF the charge was clearly against the
prisoners The judge, after explaining thena
ture OF the charge against the prisoners, ana
lyzed the evidence, calling the jury's attention
to the fact that Burtons statement was not
made under oath, and therefore entitled TO
very little credence. The jury retired, and IN
fifteen minutes returned with q verdict OF
guilty against both prisoners. The court at
once sentenced both TO penal seryitude for life.
The announcement was received by the spec
tators with applause Cunningham maintained
his elf-composure, but Burton broke down and
sobbed when the verdict was rendered. When
asked why the sentence of law should not be
passed upon them, Cunningham protested that
no was innocent He said he was willing TO
accept penal seryitude for life, but they could
not touch his soul Burton simply declared
no was innocent In sentencing tho prisoners
Justice hawkins said they had been convicted
OF crime as bad, cruel and wicked az has
catered the heart of man IL could not be too
well known that neither the queen nor her
advisers could be inundated by any such
means. The humanity OF those in charge Of
the prosecution alone prevented them from in
dieting the prisoners for high treason, on con
yicton of which their lives had been forfeited.
Minister Phelps sat beside Justice Hawkins
while he was sentencing the prisoners.
