LONDON, May 19.-Judge Hawkins this
morning began the summing up in the
case Of Cunningham and Burton, on trial
for treason and felony in connection with
the recent dynamite explosion. The Judge
analysed the evidence against Burton and
called attention to the fact that Burton's
statement had not been made under oath,
and was therefore entitled to very little
credence. IL there was any truth in the
statement, said the Judge. it was astound-
ing that no Witnesses have been called 20
support it.
Mr.. Phelps. the new United States Min
lister to England, was In the Courtroom,
dressed in mourning, and listened closely
to the Judges charge. Mr.. Phelps seemed
very much impressed by the stern language
of the Judge. The jury returned a YER
dict, finding both prisoners guilty. The
prisoners were then sentenced to penal
seryitude for life.
Cunningham maintained his self.com-
posure, but Burton broke down and
sobbed when the verdict was rendered.
When the prisoners were asked il they had
anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon them. Cunningham pro-
tested he was innocent. He said he was
willing to accept the penal servitude for
life, but they could not touch bis soul.
Burton simply declared he was innocent.
