Excavations in Roman Forum Lead to
Important Find.
Rome, Oct. 26.-Prof. Giacomo Boni,
who is directing excavations of the
Roman forum, made important discov-
cries yesterday after a most careful
stra;igraphical exploration. The pro-
fessor went Twenty-Five archaeological
strata and reached a muddy plain,
where he found evidences that the
plain was at one time inhabited. These
evidences were a Vegetable coal, pieces
OF pottery and several human skele-
tons, the latter in such positions as to
indicate violent death. The professor
has arrived at the conclusion that the
mud deposit is that of a marshy valley
between the Palatine and Capitoline
hills, the inhabitants of which fought
there eight centuries before Christ.

THE NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL MUST
SPEND REST OF HIS LIFE
IN THE PRISON..
Time for Taking Appeal to Set Aside
Judgment Has EIapsed-Com-
mitment Made Out.

John King, the notorious criminal
who has caused the police of the
Northwest more trouble than any other
ma1efactor, must serve the life SEN
tence in the penitentiary at Walla
Walla which Judge Griffin of the SUI
perior court at Seattle imposed upon
him in March. At the time the SEN
tence was imposed King gave notice
of appeal but he has not since taken
any steps to perfect it. The time in
which it should have beeen done is now
past and yesterday Deputy County
Clerk Oscar Springer made out the
commitment that directs the warden of
the state penitentiary to keep King in
confinement during the rest of mis- nat
ural life.
King will be brought to the peniten-
tiary within a few days. The sheriff
upon receipt of the commitment will
notify the warden to send the guards
after the convict. Close watch mas
been upon King during his confinement
he would make an attempt to break
Jail. Extra precautions will be taken
| to see that he reaches the penitentiary.
As HabituaI Criminal.
The life sentence imposed upon King
was the result of his conviction upon
an information charging him with be-
ing an habitual criminal. King fell
into the clutches of the law last Feb
ruary for the MONDAY burglary of
the jewelry store of Fred Larne on
Pike street in Seattle. He was ar
| rested in Tacoma with much of the
stolen plumber in his possession by De-
tectives Freeman and Hubbard and
| was convicted by jury in the superior
court of the burglary.
Other Charges Against Him.
If King had not been convicted in
King county ne would have been extra
dited to Vancouver to stand trial for an
attempt to kill two detectives there on
Christmas day. He and his gang had
committed several burglaries in Van
! couver and he was finally caught by
two detectives. He resisted arrest and
fired two shots from a revolver he mad
up his sleeve at the two police officers
who attempted to place him in custody.
| He made his escape and came to Seat
tie where he committed the burglary
| that puts an end to his criminal career.
King for several years has been the
leader of band of criminals who oper-
ated in Seattle and through the smaller
towns of Puget Sound. He will be the
| first man to arrive at the penitentiary
| to serve a life sentence as the result
of the enforcement of the habitual
criminal act that Prosecuting Attorney
| Macintosh has made a feature Of his
public service. Others have been SEN
fenced but the cases appealed.
