convicted and sent to the penitentiary
1t Canon City, to remain for the bal
ance Of his life. or until pardoned by the
governor, has caused considerable CON-
ment in regard to the last legislature

Tho fact was brought out at this trial
mentioned above. that the defendant
came to Colorado especially and specifi-
eslly for the purpose Of executing his
horrible crime. believing II convicted that
hs would escape the hangman's moose.
and il sentenced for life would, accord
ing to past records. be pardoned out after
having served five or ten years, and there
is every reason to believe that the next
