By so doln doing he has settled that which for all time in the minds of a great reat greatman man many would have been a doubtful question question ques ques- tion lie He has served the state in other

question and one on only Mr Ir McNamara You have ha stated In the writing which the distrIct district dis dis- district dis- dis attorney has read that you ou placed sixteen sticks of dynamite known as 80 per cent pure In the Times building and caused it to bo be exploded The question question question ques ques- tion I ask you ou is this Did you OU seek to purchase for th th same purpose

Is very ven little HUle or no ra ray of comfort Mr 11 McNamara continued Judge Bordwell In the assertion by you ou that you rou did not riot intend to destroy destro life lire The Tho widows and

mean combustible combustible combus combus- tible material material-I I say that a man who under these circumstances would place a dynamite charge of that qu quantity In such a building In which you

otherwise It Is the jud judgment ment of the court that as a punishment for 01 the crime of murder murder marder mur mar der in the first degree to which you rou have ha pleaded guilty guilt you ou shall be confined con con- confined fined In Iii the time state prison of or this state In itt San Quentin for an and during your our mutual life You Xou ma may be seated As relieved as nS anyone anne
