were forced 10 clear tho stroots. The
announcement Of the verdict was
greeted with expressions Of general
satisfaction.
Tno crown counsel contcnded that
thcfe was not particle OF evidence OF
the Insanity OF the prisoner.
At this point Deeming interrupted
the crown counsel. II WINS not the law,
be said, but the nress that was trying
him. II he could bring himself TO be-
lleyc that he had committed murder, he
wouli plead guilty rather than submit
10 the gAzo OF the people In court. ] was
the ugllest farce ever seen. Witnesses
against him had deliberately lied. What.
ever no could say would bo disbelievOd.
His Witnesses had been kept out OF tho
way. People had sworn 10 swing him
whom no had never fcen In his life.
No time was allowed him 10 comnuni-
cate with witnesses In England and
India. IL was not pleasant 70 confess
TO n disease, mental or otherwise, but
he had determined to DO 40 In Iustice 10
himself aud community. For weeks
together he had suffered lalscs OF MON.

Deeming infinitely criticized the
evidence and declared that u verdict
Of guilty would be the greatest relief to
him. lie said the use OF aliases was

Afterwards Dceming said the pbblic

death. IL was better that the law

against the prisoner.

Deeming asked the Judge TO refrain
from the usual oxhorlntiOn. The Judge
complied and simply announced tue
sentence OF death. Dtoming responded
