SPENCE |S CONDEMNED
 ID DIE FEB. 2
Convicted Murderer Tells Pres aa colt Judge That He Did Not
 Have Fair Trial-Motion for
 New Trial 0verruled.

PRESCOTT. Dec. 10.-"Wen. I would say, I don't think I had fair trial''
 This was the only statement made Tuesday morning by Frank Spence, condemned to die for the murder of Edgar R. Sullivan, when asked by Judge Sloan in the district court: What have you to say now why the judgment of the court should ont be pronounced?"
 When Spence was arraigned for sentence, his attorney, James Loy, filed Q motion for a new trial, support ed by brief argument, the main feat ure of which was that the verdict of the jury was not supported by the evi- dence. He claimed that nothing in the evidence proved that the terrible deed was premeditated by his client. The court decided that the defendant had fair trial and that the issues had been fairly presented and over ruled the motion. X motion by Att terney Loy for an arrest of judgment on the ground that the indictment did net conform to particular sections Of the statutes was also overruled. The court then ordered Spence to stand up, addressing him as follows:
 You were indicted at this term oi court, charged with the murder of one Edgar F. Sullivan. You were ar rGigned as provided by law and upon the ara gnment you entered a plea of n1t guilty. You were afterwards tried by lawful jury which found you guilty of murder in the first degree. What have you, to say now why the judgment of the. court should not te pronounced" .-.. ... After answering 'Well, I would Spence closed his lips. .sr., After short pause the court then asked "Is there anything else?' Spence answered, That's all.
 Judge Sloan then proceeded: The judgment of the court is that3son are guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree and that in accordance with the recommendation of the jury, you on Friday, the second day of Feb ruary of the year 1909, between the hours of 10 o'clock a. m. and 7 o'clock D. m. Of that day. at a place provided by law for that purpose as the discretion of the proper officer shall fix, suffer the death penalty, in the manner provided by law, by being hanged by the neck until you are dead" At the conclusion of the sentence Spence sat back in his chair. The pal Tor of his countenance was never re lered by blush during the proceeds ings, during which every minute of the time he was the center of all eyes Fin the crowded courtroom. His eyes looked towards the floor as he was es- corted out of the court room by the sheriff and deputies, condemned to pay the extreme penalty of the law l fer shutting out the life of another. The remainder of the days session
 was occupied in the selection Of jury
 for the trial of E. D. Hurley, indict' ed for the murder of Frederick J. Conroy. May 14, 1908, one mile south
 of the Copper Chief mine in the Black
 Hills range.
 After failing to agree on verdict i after deliberating twenty-five hours 1 the jury in the case of Garfield Fer irell, indicted for battery on Noaml Schnur, a six-year-old girl of Selig-

Last Load in Sight.

The corn canning season j. drawing
to close and the last load is expect
ed TO arrive at the Skowhegan fac
tory of the Portland Packing Com
pany within the next few days In
fact, the rush will be over by to-
morrow night and the few loads that
will come in Saturday and possibly on
Monday will be from a small number
of specially late pieces. The season
commenced on September Sd, and
counting Monday next as the last dav
it will have been 25 days in length,
about the average of past years The
drouth has affected the crop materi-
ally as to quantity and 70 some extent
as to quality. The total pack will be
about four hundred thousand cans.
II the season had been OF normal
rainfall, it would doubtless have to-
tailed half million. Many of the
ears are plump and full and others
show partially developed kernels, the
latter showing somewhat in the fin
ished product When the severity of
the drouth is remembered it may be
considered wonderful that the sweet
corn crop matured with SO little de-
terioration. 1t is probable that it
suffered the least of any Maine crop.
The total pack, four hundred thou
sand cans, is not record year but is
about the average of past seasons.
About 100 hands have been on the
payroll. Some of them are employed
on the piece work plan, this being the
case with the huskers who get five
cents per basket. These baskets hold
one bushel and the swiftest hands
sometimes get through with forty to
sixty of them in day, thus earning
from $500 to $500. Each farmers
corn is kept separate until it is husk-
ed, stripped from the cobb and weigh
ed and he is paid by the pound, at
the rate of two cents for each pound
of corn, net weight. An average load
will contain bushels when it is
dumped down to be husked. After
the husks are removed it will mea-
sure something like Is bushels, yield
ing about % lbs. to the bushel when
stripped from the cobb. At this rate
A bushel load will net about 44S lbs.
OF corn, amounting to nearly nine
dollars, The farmers in general seem
well satisfied with the result of their
sweet corn acreage of the present
year and are already making con
tracts TOR next NPar'G prOD
