The full moon on the 4tn OF feorudly
(the day preceding the murder) fell exactly
in the place of its descending note at birth
and was almost in its own place when II
encountered the square aspect OF Mars
both at the birth and
on THE DAY PRECEDING THE MURDER,
thus duplicating and quickening the violent
conditions and cruelty given at the
birth. Saturn was nearly upon the par
allel of Mars and increased his natural
malignity and cunning, Mercury nearly sta
tionary, and Venus were both in square
with his Mars and Venus and in opposition
to his Moon at birth, while Uranus was
nearly stationary in evil aspect with his
Sun at the birth. There was therefore ar
extraordinary degree OF excitement to the
violently evil and murderous proclivities or
the nativity, and in the midst of their pow
erful impulses Isaac b. Sawtelle undoubt-
eddy planned and executed the crime for
which he has been condemned TO die.
On the day he was convicted Saturn had
become stationary just within the mid
heaven of his figure, opposite TO his Sun and
Uranus and in square with his Jupiter;
while Uranus a planet that takes eighty
one years to make one circuit around the
sun. was just passing the exact par
allel of his Mars on the cusp of
the 'house of Imprisonment" Q2th)
at the moment the words Of his SEN
tence were falling from the lips Of the
Judge He was sentenced to confinement
in prison until January D, 1892, and then 10
be hanged. 1t is very remarkable that on
the day fixed for the execution the same
planet, Uranus, will be within II minutes
of the exact place Of Mars, whose parallel
he stood upon when sentence was passed.
On that day Saturn will be operating his
own square and the opposition of his Mer-
curry; Mars will have made one revolution
and be in square with the heart and oppo-
site the throat
AT BIRTH THE MOON RULED
his ''house OF death" (sth), was with the
South Appellus in a fixed sign, afflicted by
Mars from the ''house of prisons" Q2th)
and by Venus in the throat (Taurus).
The Sun with the Hyades, and very near
the fiery fixed star Aldebaran; the Moon in
her node exactly opposed by Mars and Ner-
tune and applying to Saturn, which stood
in a fixed sign in the house of death, oppo-
site TO Mercury in the house Of property
one condition which, as the authorities
teach, predispose the native" to an evil
disposition, proneness to violent deeds,
likely to end in disgrace. ruin and a violent
death. Uranus and Venus nearly conloined
on the cusp OF the fifth house. or "house Of
pleasure and gaming" inclined him 10 his
evil courses at horse racing. gaming sport
ing and acting and made his marriage an
elopement
The luminaries were both affected In this
nativity and IN Isaac &. Sawtelle's, and
even the evil influences of certain fixed stars
were involved in the malignant comoina-
tions at the birth of each of these men.
Birchall murdered Benwell on the 18th OF
February, when Saturn stood exactly upon
the parallel of his mental ruler, Mercury
in opposition to the Sun and in square to
his own Sun At birth, and on the day of
his execution, November IA, Mars and
Jupiter were conjoined In his
''HoUsE OF PRIsoNso

1.-The mysterious sign Scorpio is rising,
Mars is therefore the natives 'significa-
tor who is posted near the third cusp in
Capricorn, his 'exaltation' in sextie to his
sdispositor' (Saturn). 1t is worth noticing
that fixed signs occupy the cusps of the
first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses,
and that the sun, who rules the tenth is in
the fourth in conjunction with Mercury in
q scientific sign. / judge the native has
had many annoyances by people signitied
by Mercury in Aquarius. II is coinci-
dence that the very degree ascending
is symbolized as . 'trefoil.' Faith, hope
and charity are the characteristics; pro-
hector of new schemes for the benefit of
the race. The secret sign Scorpio and
Mars, its ruler, beneath the earth and sex
tile to Saturn, denote ability for things OF
a secret and occult nature, and the good
aspect to Saturn gives him that determine
ton, patience and perseverance to follow

This Is good, as it denotes the end Of his
