prisoner at the bar, have you any
anything to say why sentence of death
should not be passed upon you?"
A solemn hush fell over the crowd
ed court room, andevery person waited
in almost breathless expectation for an
answer to the Judges question.
VIII the prisoner answer!
Is there nothing that will make him
show some sign of emotion?
will he maintain the cold indiffer-
ent attitude that he has shown
through the long trial, even to the
place of execution?
Such were the questions that pass
ed through the minds of those who had
followed the case from day to day.
The judge still waited i'll dignified
silence.
Not a whisper was heard anywhere,
and the situation had become painfully
oppressive, when the prisoner was
seen to move, his head was raised, his
hands were clinched, and the blood
had rushed into his pale, careworn
face. His teeth were firmly set. and
into his haggard eyes came a flash
of light. Suddenly he rose to his
feet, and in a low, firm. but distinct
voice, said:
II have, You honor, you have ask
ed me question, and now | ask, as
the last favor on earth. that you will
not interrupt my answer until l am
through.

have acted as jury in this case, for
their verdict is in accordance with
the evidence.
But may it please the court, l wish
tc show that l am not alone respon-
slble for the murder of my wife,"
This startling statement created
tremendous sensation. The Judge
leaned over the desk the lawyers
