Is relieved OF all such unpleasant fea-
lures, and the court takes positive de-
light In sentencing you to death.
You are a young man, Jose Maria
Martin, apparently of good physical
constitution and robust health. Or
dlnarily you might have looked for
ward to many years OF life, and the
court has no doubt you have. and have
expected to die at a green old age; but
you are about to be cut of in conse-
qpence of your own act Jose Maria
Martin, II is now the springtime; in a
little while the grass will be springing
up green in those beautiful valleys,
and upon those broad mesas and noun
tain sides flowers 4 be blooming;
birds will be singing their sweet car
OILS, and Nature will be putting on her
most gorgeous and most attractive
robes, and life viii be pleasant and
men will want to stay, but none of this
for you, Jose Maria Martin; the flow
ers will not bloom for you, Jose Maria
Martin: the birds will not carol for
you. Jose Maria Martin. When these
things come to gladden. the senses of
men you will be occupying space
about six by two beneath the sod, and
the green grass and those beautiful
flowers will be growing above your
lcwly head.
The sentence OF the court ie that
you be taken from this place to the
county jail; that you be there kept
safely and securely confined in the GUS
tody of the sheriff until the day ap-
pointed for your execution. Be very
careful, Mr.. Sheriff, that he have no
opportunity to escape and that you
have him at the appointed place and
ct the appointed time. That you be so
kept, Jose Maria Martin, until-Mr
Clerk, on what day of the month does
Friday about two weeks from this
time Gomez CMarch %, your honor)
very well, until Friday, the 22d day
of March, when you will be taken by
the sheriff from your place Of confine-
ment to some safe and convenient spot
within the county this is in your dis
cretion, Mr.. Sheriff-you are only con-
fined to the limits of the county; and
that you be there hanged by the neck
until you are dead, and-the court was
about to add, Jose Maria Martin, May
God have mercy on your soul, but the
court will not assume the responsible
ity of asking an All-Wise Providence
to do that which a jury of your peers
has refused to do. The Lord couldn't
have mercy on your soul. However, If
you belong to any religious organiza-
tion, II might be well enough for you
to send for your priest or your min
lister, and get from him-well-such
consolation as you can, but the court
advises you to place no reliance upon
anything of that kind. Mr.. Sheriff, re-
move the prisoner"
1t is a pleasant sequel to this dread
full sentence that Jose Maria Martin
escaped from Jail and died peacefully
| several years ago by falling out of a
wagon and breaking his neck.
