relative In the courtroom.
It was during the noon hour that tho
attorneys in tho case held a conference
and came to mutual agreement. Up
until time for the trial preparations

of tho trial. Attorney w. H. Masters

mercy on the prisoner, saying that the
brutality Of the crime would convince
the ordinary man Of the prisoners in
sanity. 1t was then that Judge Higbee
pronounced the life sentence.

were being dropped from the win

A policeman clambered to the roof Of
an adjoining building and by clinging
to the cornice with the smoke pouring
into his face reached down to the win
dows of the nth floor and raised seven
children who were handed out by their
parents. Another officer winding a
coat about his head, entered the build
Ing from below and rolled down the
stairs the body of half suffocated man.
Three times the officer came back, carry
Ing two persons in his arms. Then he
fell exhausted.
