stood on either side of him and hdlT-
ed him answer the questions. Justice
Garretson said the prisoner had had a
fair trial and had been defended by
expert lawyers. Although their had
been much sympathy injected into the
case, the law did not allow a man TO
punish another for a wrong suffered
at his hands or wreak vengeance ON
the man who had wronged him. After
the Judge pronounced sentence. Hains
sat down, and dropped his head on the
table. He seemed overcome for a min
ute, then sat staring at the Judge. The
judge gave him invent four hours In
which to make his appeal and the
prisoner was then turned over TO the
sheriff.
