¶1 Tbe bill of indictment, tbe verdict, and judgment are formally correct, and tbe only exception to tbe validity of tbe trial being on a matter in the sound discretion of tbe court, we must affirm tbe judgment. Tbe defendant was without tbe benefit of counsel in tbe court below, and for tbe reasons stated, we are not at liberty to consider tbe positions so forcibly urged in bis behalf in tbe argument here.
¶2 On tbe record, while it was entirely proper to submit tbe case to tbe jury, we find very little in tbe testimony to justify a conviction of willful and corrupt perjury, and we deem it no impropriety to suggest that tbe facts as now presented to us would seem to justify a petition for executive clemency. We are confirmed in tbe view by tbe further fact that tbe careful, considerate, and able judge who tried tbe cause has imposed tbe minimum punishment allowed by tbe law for an offense of this kind.
¶3 No error.
