According to good legal opinion. it
will have to be shown conclusively
that Falt in became insane during the

fenced by Judge X. c. Stanford here
on Friday, December g. And here
comes and odd phase OF the law. The
statute under which his honor pro-
Eounced the second sentence of death
against the murderer. states that If no
legal reason exists, and il there is no
appeal pending. the murderer shall be
resentenced In concluding to give
Fai.in his second Sequence. Judge
Stanford was compelled u der he law.
to know that no legal reason existed
for not imposing such sentence. SO,
the resentencing act rendered Faltin
clear of any insanity charge that hap
pened to be pending at that time. In
the eyes of the law, Falton stood. a
sane man. before his earthly Judge. and
was, for the second time, condo
to pay the penalty OF death. for the
death he had dealt Carl Peterson. The
act wiped out previous questions as to
his sanity.
