murder of Win tluldcnsupps was today
sentenced to be electrocuted ln tho week
beginning Jnnuary 10 18 iS
When Thorn was brought Into court ho
sttpped as briskly between two officers
as ho had on the days when bv was on
trial Ho preserved the same calm Imper-
turbable expression ot countenance that
he had worn at every crisis ln the working
nut ot his fate during tbo trial and when
a3 n preliminary to the part of sentence of

never been In prison before I was brought

Then Judge Maddox proceeded to pass
sentence solemnly and Impressively Ho
said

the course ot which you were defended
by the abkstnnd meat jstuto counsel They

Whonl you slow It is the duty of the court
to fix a time foratho execution the law
pronounced tbe punishment I shall give
you a reasonable time the law allows me
to do that It Is needless forr me to state
anything touching the facts ln the case
more than to say that tho evidence justifies
the verdict
The judgment ot tbecourt la that jou

at Sing Sing within a reasonable lime aud
that there you shall be executed In tbo
form prescribed by law In tlio wee be-
