Shortly after, however, Bram was noted in the act c-f removing the miss­ ing axe from beneath a deck boat. Drown was then released and Bram placed in irons. Tho vessel, which was bound for South America with a cargo of lulu-! bar, was turned about for Halifax. The three bodies were placed in the ■boat and in that manner towed to the new port of destination. At Bram’s first trial in Boston, in the same year, he was convicted and • sentenced to be hanged.

Later, tire man was pardoned by President Wilson. --------- ----- ------ Murderer Inherits Victim’s Property Paris.—For years Paris assize jur­ ies have made a practice of acquitting men and women who havo killed their wives or husbands in cases known as ■“love tragedies.” But a jury at Beauvais (Oise) went a step further—to the dismay of French juridical experts—-when they acquitted Charles Marin, who shot his , mother-in-law, a Widow aged 86, merely because she had sold dis advantageous­ ly a portion of her estate which he. hoped to inherit at her death. The Public Prosecutor pointed out that this was a crime of vulgar avar­ ice and the criminal deserved' no mercy. But the jury, moved by the speech ■of Maitro Paul-Boncour for the de­ fence, who Spoke of the natural anger of a man who saw fatally property being Wasted, returned a verdict of Not Guilty-.
