New Brunswick, Feb. 20:-Jus-
tice Bergen this morning sentenced
Fred Lang, who slew his niece,
Katie Gordon, at Bonhamtown, to
die by hanging on March 23.
Lang was brought into court by
Officers McCabe and Blaine. He wore
brown suit, but was hatless. A
look Of unconcern showed itself on
his countenance and he appeared to
be the least interested person in the
court room when Justice Bergen en-
tered and he stood before him. The
justice reviewed the case and said it
was only necessary to resentence
Lang as the taking of his cause to a
higher court had failed in its pur-
pose. This is the third time the
young man has been sentenced to
die, the first time by Justice Swayze
and the second and third by Justice
Bergen. He has been In Jail since
April, 1905. 1t is reported that his
counsel may yet carry the lunacy
plea to the United States court.
The Justice approved the list of
witnesses for the hanging. 1t COM
prises Former Sheriff Carman, Re-
corder Pickersgill and Chief of Po-
lice Burke, of Perth Amboy; Deputy
