Before passing sentence the court
said the jury's recommendation was
doubtless the result OF sympathy FOR
the defendant who IS lame. ktsh s
attorneys moved the court that sem

possible. the court pointed ont. mas

sympathy for the defendant as the
Jury evidently has done. IL cannot
disregard its purely legal duty TO so

was guilty not only OF the crime
charged. but also OF perjury in this
