of his wife, Elizabeth, on March 23r4

Kane ,after inquiring the whereabouts
of his wife, went to the house of her
son, Alfred Skinner, on Church street,
where she was assisting in the removal
of his effects, and, entering at the mo-
ment when all were absent from the
house, he in a few minutes committed
the .bloody deed. A large knife was
used, the fatal blew being near the
heart. The victim was also stabbed
upon the left leg'and her right haud
was badly cut. She never, so far as is
known, uttered a word after receiving
the wound. Kane was almost surpris-
ed in his bloody work, as his wife's son
entered just after its commission,
knocked him clown and held him until
assistance arrived. After he had done
(he deed, Kane appeared to have been
satisfied with his fiendish work, as in
the presence of two Or three persons he
stated .he was proud. of what he had
done. For the defence it was uraed
that the prisoner's intellect had been
unsettled by an injury to his head re-
ceived ia a railway accident last ent-
omb. Several w.tnesses swore that
Kane had changed in his demeanor
since that occutreece. The jury after
an absence of about an hour, returned
a verdict of guilt,, and the prisoner
was sentenced to be hanged on the 21st
