SENTENCED
TO DIE.

Trenton, N. j., Mar. 5.-George
Hcttrick, convicted of the murder of
John Kra,is, was sentenced by Judge
Pitncy. to be hanged April 4 today.
Hettrick took the sentence without
show of emotion.
1Ie was neatly dressed and insisted
upon being shaved before going into
the Court room. When ordered to
stand up he almost leaped from his
chair and with folded arms eyed the
Judge unhinchingly while the sem
tence was passed. When asked if he
had anything to say, he made no
answer.
AS soon as the Judge had ceased
speaking John Backes, Hettrick's
counsel, made an application for the
appointment of a commission oflunacy
experts to watch over Hettrick for
such period of time as the Court
should deem necessary to decide on
the condemned mans sanity.
Backes stated that the actions of
the prisoner since his conviction were
so peculiar that lie felt in duty bound
to make the application. Judge
Pitncy took the matter under cOnsid-
Grafton.

Tried to Get Fee Reduced.

Many funny stories are now cir
cnlating m regard to the corpora
ton tax question and attorney
Robert G. Harman's fifty per cent
fee. When council or the finance
committee acting for Council asked
former City Solicitor Henry G.
Conrad for an opinion on the sub
ject, he said that the tax could not
be collected and most of the law
ycrs in the city agreed with him
that time. The agreement was
then made with MI. Harman under
the impression that he would not
be able to collect the taxes and.this
was why he was offered one half
of the amount. The attorneys for
the railway companies and the gas
companies were OF the opinion
they would have no trouble in
winning the suit which the city
was to bring, but when they look
cd at the law they found decisions
in q states in favor of taxing such
property as real estate and none
against it. Then, it is claimed,
they "bluffed'' out the case as long
as they could.
1t is claimed that when the
members Of the finance committee
found that Mr.. Thurman was about
to collect the tax they tried to get
David j. Reinhardt, who had in
the meantime become city solicitor
to go to Mr.. Hlrman and ask him
to reduce the bill, but whether he
went and asked Il reduction is not
known. 1t is sure, however, that
no reduction WIS made.
