ton Finch professed to remember moth
ing of the crime. This he maintained TO
the time of his death.
He was brought to trial In an unusu-
ally short time and he practically con-
Quoted his own defense. He was con-
vlcted of murder in the first degree, and
appealed to the supreme court, which
sustained the verdict of the lower
court.
Lately Finch undertook to have the
United States supreme court review the
case, with no effect, and Thursday he
was refused executive clemency by
Governor Benson.

ary ability. He started out as a news

memories Of Protestant injustice to

IL the ordinary routine Of life all ce-
ligious differences are ignored, and
Catholic votes are cast as freely for
Protestant as for Catholic candidates.
Here is an example:
A few days age the Cahirciveen
Board of Guardians, composed almost
entirely Of Catholics, unanimously
elected Protestant, Mr.. shuel, US
solicitor of the board. On the occasion
Mr.. Sloane. one of the guardians,
made speech which might be taken
&c heart by his co-religionists in the
North of ireland. Mr.. Sloane said:
AS Protestant member of the
board. in the first place, I thank you
for electing Mr.. Shuol with such unan-
unity; you have given the lie to those
b'gots who say that Protestant ',an
not live in the South of Ireland, and
you have given those narrow minded
bigots on the north of the Boyne n
fiat contradiction. Those bigots, who
are SO narrow minded as to say th;Lt
Protestant can not live III the South
Ct Ireland because Of the Catholics
!, are not worthy to be men. / am in
public life for the last 80 years, and
during that long period I always ux-
perienced the greatest courtesy from
the Catholics, and never got the slight
est insult from any Catholic, or any
e;isrespect from any Of them. When
the King of Portugal was assassinatad

CT England asserted to King Edward

was practically unknown to the Cath

Division, was elected as one Of their
representatives ciI the Calirciveen

is another rebuke to the calumnies of
those bigots in the North.
