to pronounce the words, May the

AS regards the omission to wear the
black cap and use the words May the
Lord have mercy on your SOUL, MIR.
Couper said: There arises a curious
analogy to this in Great Britain, es-
pecially in the circumstances which
surround the condemned man Canp-
bell. It has been for some time the
habit In England, in cases where be-
trayed girls have murdered their IL
legitimate children. for the Judge to
pronounce sentence of death without
afsupIng the black cap, Sand without
death sentence: ~:
though the convicted girl must be SEN
fenced to death in terms Of the law,
there Ia no intention of CARRYING the
sentence into effect.
I'm view Of the fact that Campbell
Is wanted III the United States for a
murder, is 1t the intention of the Ca
madam authorities to hand him over to
the Cnited States authorities. and so
save the cost of an execution here.
Was the sentence pronounced in the
defective form with the intention of
showing it never would be carried out
