In the first 213 days of this year

general run of killings are resulting
from that lighting instinct which Will
turn to u handy gun when once

OF the nine murderers sentenced
to be hanged out of the nearly 200
persons who killed during the past
year. only two actually have gone to
the gallOwS. The rest have obtained
continuanceS, secured trials, or had
their sentences changed to imprison-
ment.
