torially says: The hanging of Robert

government, for the evidence IL support
of the unfortunate muu's innocence WAS
so strong Us to have convinced TIE pub
lie, who were best acquainted with the
facts, that he was wrongly convicted.
The case of Sproule WAS one which called

IN the Judgment of thousands completely
UPSET tue case for the prosecution aud
justified the conclusion that the defend
ant WAS the victim of foul conspiracy
against bis life and property. The strong

been murdered under the forms of law.
The whole circumstances are so extraor-
dinary and SO suggestive of everything
but justice that it is in order to enquire
whether the man would have been thus
shamefully put TO a death there is SO
much reason to believe be did not merit,
had he not Geen citizen of the United
