Sentence of Dunnigan for the Murder of his Wife. The prisoner Dunnigan was brought into court this morning for sentence.— He looked haggard and care worn, and while awaiting the attendance of Juotice Watson wept profusely.

At the arrival of Justices Watson and Robinson, and Associate Justice Williams, District Attorney Harris said:— John Dunnigan, the prisoner at the bar, having been convicted of the high crime of murder, I now move the sentence of the Court be pronounced upon him.

Justice Watson—"Dunnigan, stand up. Have you anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be pronounced upon you?"

Dunnigan, with an abstracted look, said—"I didn't hear." Justice Watson, in a louder tone— "If you have any thing to say we will now hear you."

Dunnigan, weeping profusely, muttered—"I am not guilty." Justice Watson—"That will avail you nothing at this time. You have had a fair trial. A great deal of time has been exhausted, but that is nothing in comparrison with the value of your life. There has been no disposition on the part of either the court or the prosecuting attorney to exclude any evidence which would avail you. The jury have heard thet evidence and have pronounced you guilty of murder. In that verdict the court acquiesce. It is always painful to pronounce the sen- tence of death, yet we are but the min- isters ot the law, and it devolves upon us to pronounce whatever senteuce it
