DETROIT Nov. 12.-Francis G. Russell has

The liabilities of the firm are estimated at from
$50, 900 TO $4,000 The stagna,ion of marine
business, which prevailed throughout the sea-
son. was the primary cause of the trouble, but
potent reason, also, was the immense loss entaled

stir by fainting when the judge began to pro-

while the court pronounced the judgment in
short, measured sentences, and the interpreter
repeated it in the prisoners ear. Feb 26 was
fixed as the day for the execution.
