"I trot nil extltcd and did not know

Mr Hart Is tailed the attention of

existed between the dccctit-ed und Ab

him to dinw his gun. Thore was no
specific Intention to tako life, Mr.
Bctagg argued, for If Abbate premedi

time between tho llrlng of tho first

in: vuuavud ouiirY.
"The defendant hat seen lit," he said,
"under irdvlco of his counsel, to plead
guilty of tho charge- of murder. As
with a Jury, It Is the duty of court
tinder circumstances like this to llx the
degree- of the crime. The distinguish
ing characteristic of Hist degree mur
der Is the speclllc Intent to tako life.
This Is an unwarranted homicide. It
has hm illy any mitigating circum
stances. Abbnta's action showed a
criminal disregard of consequences nnd
a reckless dlsitgnrd of human life.
There were no blows exchanged and
only a suggestion that the deceased
put his hand to his pocket In a thteat
enlng way There Is one citcunistance
fiuotablc to the prisoner the llrst
shot was filed downwaid. This Is In
consistent with a. specitic Intention to
commit murder.
"If this tase wns tried befoio a Juiy,
the evldencu would sustain a crdlct
of murder In the lltst degree. It would
also sustain a verdict of second degree
mm dor. I have a siiious doubt that
ho had the specific Intent to take life
and also as to whether ho had time
between the tlrst shot nnd the others,
to deliberate upon the consequences of
bis net. I ahull give him the benefit
of that doubt. 1 adjudge him guilty of
murder In tho second degree."
RCMANDHD I-'OU SENTENCE.
Tho prisoner wns remanded for sen
tence Saturday. Ho was taken back
to the dock and. while waiting for tlio
arrival of the "lilac k Maria." w Idled
away the time talking to his oung
wife and his two-v ear-old bov. Thoio
was no vet y pronounced manitcsiiiuon-
of Jov among the ft lends of the pils
onrr or even hi Abbate himself.
He was xory happy over his escape
from the gallows, as was nppaient
fiom his smiling face, but behind tlint
could be seen the evidence of bis
knowledge and appreciation of the
fact that he was to experience a living
death for possibly twenty jean;.
