cuffs on his wrists. He looked at one
Of the officers. There was an express

rose and fell TREMENDOUSLY and then he
1 fixed his gaze upon the floor in front

lice White, addressing the prisoner,
said: IS
| "Ia that behalf. what you have
r ght to say relates explicitly to the
subject in hand here at this time and
which the law provides, why sentence
should not now be pronounced against
you, and is defined by the statute.
The first Is that you may claim
that you are insane.
The next is that you have good
cause to offer either In arrest OF the
| Judgment about to be pronounced
sgHinst you or for new trial. These
ere the grounds specified by the
statute in which you have q right to

From the court: Certainly, il that
Is the object of any statement he
wishes to make, proceed"
Then the prisoner said:

Judge Titus repeated 1t as follows.
Owing to the prisoners feeble
voice, he says no one had anything to
do with the commission Of his crime
but himself; that his father and
mother and no one else had anything
to do with and knew nothing about
it."
