The Eentence came after an extended statement by Prosecuting Attorney Edmund H. Ryan who declared that he had on behalf of the state entered into an agreement wiih the defendant's attorneys Wil- iam F. Knox and O. A. Mur dock that the plea of voluntary manslaughter might be entered believing that the ends of justice would be served on account of the age of the defendant and that medical testimony indicated chronic melancholia and senile insanity. Notwithstanding Lockerman's written confession made a few days after the killing in which he detailed incidents showing a slow and deliberate purpose to do away with Stoody to prevent: Stoody's informing on Locker-- ! man's partner for the killing of a deer out of season, Lockerman pleaded not guilty when ar- raigned at the opening of the present term. It was thought that the defense of insanity would be interposed but the later agreement between the state and the defense made this unnecessary. After questioning the defendant at some Ibngth eliciting facts showing his birth in Illinois and his moving to Missouri and California in childhood, the court learned that he had been mining, trapping and sheep California. herding through Idaho and Nevada, arriving at Fortuna last summer, He was trapping in the Mineral Range last winter and in the spring when the tragedy occurred.
