afterwards died.
Mr. Hardin of this bar, who
was appointed by the court to
defend Rainey, gave notice of
intention to appeal, but the same
was abandoned.
Owing to certain testimony
which came out during the trial,
a large majority of the people do
not believe that he should be
hanged and it is very prohab'e
that the trial judge and Solicitor
Sease will both recommend that
his punishment be commuted to
lite imprisonment.
