The execution Of a, young man named
Millman at Charlottetown, p. E. l., early
this spring for the murderrof mis- sweetheart
and his plea of innocence while on the scat
fold, melted several of his friends who be-
lieved him not guilty, to take the matter up.
The result OF their labor has been laid before
the minister of justice at Ottawa, and from
what can be. gathered they have not only, in
the opinion OF the government, established
| the fact that an Innocent man was hanged,
but have placed the crime. on the man who
committed it,. and who swore away Mill
mans life to- save himself from the galloWs
1t is expected that the murderer will be
captured within few days. The question
arises, if his guilt is established, could two
men be hanged for the one crime
