'1 Whein Dr. Lee eitered tihe peniten- f tiary he was a young man, strong and 't healthy, despite his exce-ses; wheii t ,he left he was .broken .in health md i spirits and 'had aged very percepti bly.

Lee was tried i 20 days after ithe blomeide and it is j eaid .tthat ihis coinvidtion was due not i to a seltimen.t aga.inst him but only because -of a feeliig that lie should be punished severely on account of , the crime.
