HICKMAN TO HANG APRIL p

Los Angeles, Feb. 14, R)-Hfck- man was sentenced to hang Friday April 27th, by Judge Trabucco. af- ter the State had put on two wit nesses establishing the crime and the degree of murder. Hickman is ordered to be turned over to the sheriff at once for transfer to San Quentin. The prisoner who had stood erect to hear the sentence pronounced dropped heavily into his seat after the last word fell from the judges lips. Hickman appeared more than usually pallid and his countenance was more than usually grave as he was led from the court room. However. ten min utes after the procedure Hickman was smiling and jaunty as he re- turned to his pose for the newspa permen and camera men.
 Pevious to fixing the death sen- tence the court crisply denied the motion of the defense counsel for a new trial and denied another mo tion to the effect that the court was without jurisdiction to sentence the defendant.
 The two witnesses called to es- tablish the crime were County Au- topsy Surgeon Wagner and Chief Detective Cline.
