David Weeks, the Pal " of Boi- nay, Escapes the Gal- lows. John Weeks, the‘YoungerBrother to Be Released. David Weeks, the pal of Charles Boi- nay, the convicted murderer, was yes terday sentenced to State’s prison for life by Judge William T. Elmer, in the Criminal Superior court. Weeks signi- fied his wish of changing his plea of not guilty, and his willingness to an- swer to the, crime of murder in thesec- and degree. This being satisfactory to State’s Attorney Fessenden it was ac~ eepted by the court, and Weeks escaped the gallows. A fitting partner of Boi- nay he. should have expiated his crime at Whethersfield upon the gallows, but owing to his instrumentality in con- victing Boinay, leniency had to be shown, for only in this way can the . ends of justice be obtained, in some cases. Weeks shivered a trifle when sen- tence was pronounced, but he Was aware of what it would be weeks ago, and betrayed hardly any emotion. He was led from the court room immedi- ately after the passing of the sentence, and taken to the jail. John Weeks was not brought into the court room. He, is charged with assault with intent to kill, but it is ex- tremely likely that the charge against him will be nolled.

Two Battle Ships. Washington, Feb. 16.—Ru55ia‘ has again turned to the United States to obtain armor for her naval ships. The belief of the European naval nations .that American armor is superior to that manufactured by foreign process-i es is shown by the fact that the Gov-' ernment of the Czar on Saturday last awarded contracts to the Carnegie Steel Company for sufficient Harvey- =ized nickel steel armor to complete two battle ships now under construction. The contract price is $500 per ton. This Is $33.12 per ton less than the - company received for armor furnished ' under its last Russian contract 3200' more than this Government is allowed to pay for armor for the battleships Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin, and ~ $100 more than the Senate and House Naval committees are now willing'to allow for the armor for these three ships. -. , .II' wh— “- A FATEFUL SPOT.

Young Cramer says a. number of his compan- ions were caught under the wall. A large force is clearing the debris. Parts of the wall still standing are in- an extremely dangerous condition.
