A Present Made 10 Mas Louise Kings
lev al Denver.

Denver News.
For a long time the choir of the First
Congregational church has been consid-
cred one OF the best in the city. They
are not only capable singers, but are
always ready and willing to do whatever
is required of them. And 30 they have
won for themselves a place in the hearts
of the congregation. Miss Louise l.
Kingsley, the contralo, is to be married
next Monday tn Mr.. j.. G.. Cropsey at
Cheyenne, and their home is TO be in that
city. 1t seems eminently fitting that
Miss Kingsley's friends in the church
have given her a watch and chain as a
token Of their warm friendship aud high
esteem. Many of the congregation had
no opportunity to assist. There was
plenty OF willingness, but a lack OF time.
The gift was accompanied by the follow
ing note:
To Miss Louise L. Kingsley: We,
members of the society of the First Con-
~gregational church of Denver desire to
make some visible expression of our
appreciation of you and your work
in our choir. This watch is no re-
Fiction on you promptness aud readl-
ness. 1t is a little effort on our part
to tell you that we do not forget
the song nor the singer. The thrill of the
song has often abated the chill OF the SER
mon. If God gives you what we all wish
for you will be the happiest woman in
Colorado or Wyoming, and perhaps that
is enough. The happiest woman in Colo

JUSTICE DEPUE ON INSANITY.

Fiddler" Smith, who on March 81 murdered
George Hastings In Hermann's hat factory, in
Newark. was sentenced by Justice Depue yes
terday to twenty years at hard labor in State
prison. Smith was convicted OF murder In the
second degree, and the defence was insanity.
Justice Depue said In sentencing Smith:
II think the facts In the case did not support
the evidence OF the medical men who testified
upon the trial. Smiths associates had de-
scribed him as a little on but never until this
crime was committed was there any suspicion
that he was insane. 1t was shown that he was
deaf. suspicious. and subject to halucination.
but he was able to 90 about and attend to his
ordinary business. In view OF his conduct in
the factory. his looking around for Hastings,
his drawing a knife and stabbinR his victim
five times. his assault on Butler, and his re-
marks when CAPTURED by mon In the shop, 1t
SURPRISES me that the doctors regarded the
actions OF the prisoner as evidence Of insanity.
