The girl will not be released ut once,

speech was stern and devoid of any
play TO sentiment. lie had no sym

fled she was subjected
Judge Scott in his charge instructed
the jury that in default of justitca-
ton, which plea, he said, had not been
advanced, that they should properly
lind a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree.
The verdict was such complete sur
