was convicted, but the jury recon-
mended clemency because physicians
who had gone on the stand testified
that the murdered man would not have
died from the blow he had received had
he not had what Is technically known
as a paper skull" thus meaning that
the skull was abnormally thin.
The judge pointed this out to the
prisoner and asked him if he had any
thing to say to modify his punishment.
Judge" said the convicted man,
"this is Tipperary?"
"Yes," said the judge, "the county of
