The young men' were sentenced to llt^ Imprisonment on the churgp of mur dering Robert Franks and to 99 years on the charge of kidnaping for ran som. In a carefully written statement the Judge said that In choosing Impris onment Instead of death, he was moved chiefly by the consideration, of the age of the defendants, who are eighteen and nineteen years old. But these self-confessed perpetrators of ? most revolting crime are admittedly mentally developed beyond their years. Opinion as to the wisdom of the court,'* decision is divided. Many editors and persons who have to do with the enforcement of the law be lieve the killers should have been hanged. Many educators and minis ters, being opposed to capital punlsty ment, are therefore In accord with the decision. There are two dangers in volved in the matter. One is thnt the murderers may at some time be re leased on parole, though Judge Cav erly urged that this be not done. The other is In the efTeqt the decision may have on the mind of the mnsseB, for these boys are the sons of immensely wealthy citizens. . Whether or not juflge Caverly erred on the side of mercy, there Is not the slightest reflec tion on" his integrity.

GRAVEYARD HAD ITS INCEPTION IN JOKE Man's Jesting Proposal Car ried Out by Companion s. On the great Witrner ranch In San Diego county, Cultf., a few miles from the hot springs resort, Is a little clys ter of seven graves. Tliey are just off the frequently traveled road leading to Montezuma and San Felipe valleys, but are not visible from the road and very few of the residents of that sec tion are aware of their existence. No fence surrounds them, and but for a few fragments of a single marble slab they would not be noticed by a pedes trian who might walk over them. But In tlje origin of this little bury ing ground Is a story of throbbing In terest. The graves are on a knack of the stage station, and then and there the graveyard was started, as Its first occupant bad suggested.
