Eventually he leaned his head forward on the rail and buried it in his arms, rocking himself on the seat like a person suffering from acute ain, and at times guivering all over ike a man in a convulsion. After the court decided that sufficient testimony had been hemrd to give an idea of the grade of the crime, the judge drew himself up and addressed himself to the prisoner in a low, husky voice, in which there seemed a slight tremor of emotion. Shellenberger never raised his head, but went on groaning and weeping violently. Finally the words dropped from the judge's lips, “twenty-two years at soli- itary confinement with hard labor.” Shellenberger gave a groan of anguish that was more like a shriek, and al moet gank to the floor. The scené caused quite a commotion. The blow seemed to stun the prisoner. It was necessary to partly carry him from the court room. halland SHeLETI OE : t face VOusiy dock Lost His Life in the Lottery.
