The men were convicted of murder

devoted to a display Of woods from the

the same building the departments of for

Patrick Adley, one Of the gang of long.

Of the steamer Vancouver, received severe
injuries yesterday afternoon. He was
walking along the olive deck when he
miscalculated the distance to the opsn-
