or and while this was not the limit

come to a realization of the enormity
| Of his offense.
1t does not seem to have been borne
| n upon the mind of the native that he
lad been guilty of any great crime. AL
during his trial he sat calmly gazing
about him taking no interest in the case
even when the narrowing details were
told into his ears by an interpreter.
Yesterday morning when he came in
to court for sentence Deputy Attorney
General Cathcart requested to give the
man the limit of the law, Imprisonment
for life, urging the enormlty and ex-
IRENE brutality of the crime, and say
ing that such man should not be al
lowed at liberty. George d. Gear de-
fendants attorney, pleaded for clemen-
cy, stating that spark of virtue re-
manned in every mans breast, no mat
ter what crimes he might have been
guilty of. Gears alleged spark was
not seen by the Judge, evidently.
When asked what he had to say for
himself Kane replied through an inter
prefer, denying all knowledge of the
crime. When he was made to un-
derstand the sentence he shrugged his
shoulders and stolidly moved away
with the officers.
