doors were left open. Finally one by
one the spectators were let in and just
at $3.50 o'clock the door opened wide and
John Y. McKane, accompanied by Sher-
if Buttling, entered. He was appar-
emily the most unconcerned man in. the
courtroom, and walked about talking to
his friends, who N and all shook him
warmly by the hand. Every n who
saw him remarked his wonderful nerve
and self possession. He held a short
conversation with his counsel, Foster
l.. Backus. They sat down beside each
other a few moments later, and both
laughed heartily at something that was
said by a man sitting near by. The
prosecuting lawyers, E. NJ. Sheppard,
Colonel Lamb and Joe Weinberg, were
also in court and held a consultation.
By 1915 the corridors were rendered
almost impossible as the crowd swarmed
OH the stairways and Railways and out
into the street.
At 1906 Judge Bartlett took his seat
Oh the bench. Mr.. L. Z. James then
stood up and said:
Your honor, ! appear for the defend
ant, Mr.. John Y. McKane. l move for
a new trial under section 465, Code of
Criminal Procedure, subdivisions 5 and 9.
Judge Bartlett denied the motion.
Nj. James then asked for an arrest of
Judgment on the grounds that the facts
as stated in the indictment do not con-
stitute a crime. This vas also denied.
Then Mr.. James asked the court to
Al, 4o .o...lo,a{,o,, fhof the lafand-
ant had never been convicted of any
| felony, and that his previous good char
acter be taken into consideration.
Judge Bartlett said he did not see any
| circumstances which would warrant
such discretion. Mr.. James then asked
for a stay of execution of judgment for
20 days to enable the d defendant to move
on a notice for certificate of reasonable
| doubt.
Mr.. Sheppard moved for sentence to
be passed.
McKane, when asked what he had to
say, said:
81 don't know that l can say any
thing but what / said on the stand dur
ing this trial. l have never done any
thing wrong to any n as far asI know.
/ never did anything directly or indi.
rectly wrong with regard to the election,
nor did l aver counsel any one else to do
anything wrong. l again say that l am
not guilty of any offense against the
law"
Judge Bartlett then proceeded to pass
sentence, and said:
Il do not feel inclined to disregard the
recommendation to mercy made by the
jury. The crime which the defendant
committed was = serious one. That
great crime seems to be n that de-
mands an emphatic sentence. The
penalty should be so severe as to ex
press due condemnation while not 81
severe as to excite sympathy
The sentence of the court is tina
the defendant be imprisoned in SIM
Sing state prison for six years."
There was dead silence in court for
moment. and then amidst a murmu'
of voices through the chamber, Judg'
Bartlett ordered the court to be cleared
Lawyer Roderick said that an applica
ton will be made to a justice of tn
supreme court for a stay of 20 days
pending an appeal.
McKane was taken back to RayInon'
street Jail in a coach by Sheriff Buttling
about II o'clock, and if the stay is no
procured during the day he will b
taken to Sing Sing in company wit
some Of tho convicts.

The RouIder Institute.

Among the public institutions OF the
state one Of the most deserving and the
least known is the institute for the deaf,
dumb and blind in the city Of Boulder,
says the Basin Times. 1t has a most
efficient corps Of teachers, who will have
to trust to the generosity of the next
legislature for their compensation, as
the entire appropriation for this year,
$1,000 has been exhausted. Books and
ON other things are needed badly, but
must be dispensed with until provision
is made by the next legislature. The
place is as well kept as any Institution OF
a public character in the state, and all
connected with it deserve credit for their
work. A visit to this institution will
convince any one that it is accomplish
ing a great deal Of good.

His Remains to Be Rendered in Jewell

From the Columbia Herald.

DIR. Ill. X. Hlnde, in bis talk to

services Thursday morning, closed
with these remarks:
You will indulge lne just one
moment longer. Mr.. President, to
cite these young men to the life and
character of Governor c. II. Hardin,
whose remains we will follow to
William Jewell this afternoon, as
furnishing an eminent illustration
OF what | have been trying to inn
press upon them-that an ample
field vii! always be open to the de.
serving, and that the place will seek
the man who is prepared for it.
Gov. Hardin in every relation of
life, as a private citizen, as lawyer,
as curator of the State Lunatic Asy-
lum and State University, as State
Senator, as Governor of the State,
was Il fine exempIification of the
well rounded character, who, by
his integrity and fidelity TO duty,
found room andopportunity to work.
For many years he represented the
grand old''A.. B. c.. "District ofBoone,
Audrain and Galloway in the State
Senate. 1t is highly appropriate
that, here in Boone County, where
bis youth and manhood was spent,
his remains should permanently
rest among the quiet hills of Jewell
Cemetery, in sight of the tail and
beautiful dome of your great State
University, in which he took so great
an interest Galloway will claim
the honor of his longest citizenship
and political attainments, Audrain
as possessing the proudest monu-
ment of his Christian liberalities,
Hardin College; but the great State
of Missouri claims him as their
model Christian Governor, whose
character is so s~trikingly typitied in
the beautiful, symmetrical and sub
stantial granite monument, placed
over his grave by Il loving and
devoted Christian wife.
