JURY AND MERCY FOR YOUNG HUSHAND.

The jury added a strong recom- mendation to mercy and Mr. Jus Lice Humphreys, in passing sentence of death, said he concurred with the recomendation.

It was alleged that, while the couple were walking in the street Symmons stabbed his wife with a knife.

Symmons in the box, said his wife was suffering from violent headaches and depression. They had been to a picture theatre and as they were walking along his wife asked him for his knife. He open- ̈ed it and gave it to her, not think- ing there was anything unusual about the request. The next thing I remeraber," said Symmons, is hearing a gurgling, noise and seeing her falling."
