Mr. Just:
Kingston Penitentiary. McCracken took
the sentence calmly and at once- left the
courtroom in charge of Constable Gundry.
Great interest was manifested in the
proceedings. When the hour for opening
arrived the courthouse was crowded. At
the trial last fall the jury could not agree
on a verdict The grand jury had brought
in a true bill of murder and the jury had
a
dis greed.
T. C. Robinette, I' C., of Toronto and
R. Vanstone of i•Vingham, who defended
the prisoner indicated that McCracken
was willing
and
'`n g towithdraw his plea
plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter.
The crown accepted this plea. Mr. RAb-
inette then made a Strang plea for leniency
on behalf of the prisoner, referring to the
sadness of the case, a young man of 30
Years of age, of a good family, which in
no sense belonged to a criminal class.
The little son of the prisoner, his aged
•
father and mother, and his brother wear-
ing the King's ttniform were all feelingly
referred to. There was no allegation that
he abused his wife or was unfaithful to
her He said that Canada needed every
possible young pian to -day, especially on
the farms. He asked the judge to .make
the sentence as light as possible and give
the young man a chance to make good.
The judge took half an hour to take the
plea of Mr. Robinette into consideration.
When the session resumed, Mr. Justice
s
tice
Masten addressing the prisoner in a kind-
ly manner, pointed out that, while chang-
ing his plea freed him of murder, it render-
ed him liable to life imprisonment Ile
had gone carefully into -the case, and had
conferred with Mr. Justice Sutherland,
who presided at the first trial. The sent-
ence of the court was that McCracken be
sent to Langston Penitentiary for fifteen
years, '
