John Kay, aged II, has been found
guilty of murder in Vancouver, b. e.,
and sentenced to be hanged January
II. The boy is in the last stages of
consumption and it is probable that he
will never lived to be hanged. The
crime for which Kay is sentenced was
particularly cold blooded. He went to
shack occupied by John Spittal,
hunter. Spittal was absent aud Kay
started to steal his rifle aud shotgun.
Spittal returned and the boy shot him
dead. He dragged the body into the
cabin, placed blankets over it, exchang-
ed his own coat and hat for those of the
murdered man and started out with the
guns. These he sold in Vancouver.
The evidence was purely circumstantial.
1t was month and a half after the
crime before the body WAS found.
