that he was too hasty, -as the case
was not on trial. No one has
expressed a doubt as to the guilt
of the negro, and his conviction

rambling recital, much of which is
probably untrue, but sufficient to
show, him as a brutal fiend and
to cause profound expressions of
satisfaction and relief when he is
swung into eternity.
