O drunkard. In the same line is the de-
claration Of Warden Hatch, of the Michi-

the prisoners unless the Christian religion
is taken into the prison If Christ is good
for anything In the world, he is good in

wright named Kontuy was indicted at the
0ppeln Assizes for the murder of his wife
In ft Of jealousy. The jury found him
guilty by seven votes to Eve, and the SEN
tence OF death was passed In the usual
form. When, however, the convict's
advocate came to examine the record of
the verdict, as written down by the FORE
man Of the jury, he found that, by slip,
the word ssstunden" had been accidentally
substituted In place of Simmer, BY
which it appeared that the murderer had
been found guilty by .'seven hours
instead Of seven votes. Of course an
appeal was lodged and the Imperial
Court of Cessation, being unable to make
sense of the record, ordered new trial.
The second jury was more tender hearted
than the first, and Kontuy was only found
guilty Of manslaughter, the penalty Of
