The final chapter in the Harland
III. Sullivan trial, one of the most in
teresting ever held in Elko, came &c
a close this morning when Judge
Peter Breen sentenced the prisoner
to life Imprisonment. The judge pass
ed sentence without comment on the
case.
Since the verdict was rendered Sui
livan is reported to have expressed
his satisfaction with the outcome Of
the trial He evidently feared a YER
dict carrying the death penalty.
Sullivan's conviction should serve
as a lesson to others criminally in
clined. The people have spoken
through a jury and the word goes our
that society will protect itself. 1t IS
the law of God and the lay Of man
that thou shalt not kill, and he who
violates that law is sure to be over
taken by a just retribution. Sulli-

atrocious ever committed in Eastern
