Upon Investigation It dovolopcd that tho culprit had nover been convicted of crime, was CI years old, a consumptive, consump-tive, and that ho was drunk at tho timo ho committed the crlmo. Accordingly, Ac-cordingly, on a pica of "guilty," Mr. niumonthal askod that sentonco be suspended during good bohavlor, and this was dono.
