Upon the merits, the judgment is, in my opinion, cor- rect.

I am unable to perceive that there is any error of law or fact, or that any injustice had been done by the conviction There appears to be no evidence showing any motive to induce the commission of the crime.

The evidence of the lad, Sullivan, proved that Lanergan attempted to conceal the act which he was committing, and suppress any attempt his wife might make with her voice to give an alarm.

It is true that the evidence of the lad was contradicted by Tully, but both were before the jury, and it was their province to decide upon the credibility of the two wit- nesses.

The prisoner also concealed the killing for several hours.
