'That on another occasion, without cause or provocation, the plaintiff threatened - to shoot the defendant. ! to have the' defendant arrested.

"Beyond question," Justice Campbell said when the prisoners were arraigned I before him for sentence,, "this crime was murder in the first degree. But since some jurors would 'not agree to such a verdict, and as the compromise verdict of voluntary manslaugh ter was finally rendered, I will im pose the maximum sentence pos sible." Hard Labor Specified The greatest penalty possible for a manslaughter verdict la 10 years imprisonment "at hard labor or otherwise." and a f&erf&tJ 000. Justice Campbell did not im pose the fine, but he did stipulate that the sentences ehouId.be served at hard labor.
