we'll as the circumstances Of the case
created a strong feeling among the people
generally and the court room was hIied
with eager spectators. When the jury /
brought in verdict Of guilty and affixed |
the punishment at tive years in the peni-

from a higher and purer world, as 1t
reached the senses inst trembling IN
the happy moments between sleeping aud
waking. Mr. FtzsimmOns with his splen-
