Correspondence OF The NJ Y. Tribune
CINCINNATI, May II, 1858.
The Jury in Ctnnolly's case agreed upon YER
dict on Saturday evening" which was sealed up and
addressed to the Court. This morning, at the
opening of Court, large crowd was in attendance.
The Jury were called and the verdict read: L" We,
L" the Jury, find the defendant guilty 10 manner
"and form as he stands charged in the Indictment"
Judge Stallo here arose and said:
IS Before the Jury separate, l wish TO call the
attention of the Court to fact connected with this
case. | understand that one of the jurymen in the
cause is Deputy Marshal OF the United States.
hope it is not true, but am informed on good
authority. am informed that Robert Savage is q
Deputy Marshal"
The Marshal-It is true. He is a Deputy Mar
shall
Judge 6tallo-I am informed he is one of the
talesmen brought in to fill up the jury
The Marshal-Such is the fact.
The Jury were then pOlled, each being asked,
do you find the defendant guilty or,lot guilty :"
and answering Guilty.
The District Attorney then moved the defendant
be taken into custody, saying he believed such 10
be the practice, and he saw no reason Tor departing
from it i'll this case but there was reason Tor adj
herring to it, namely, that the amount of bail was
small.
Judge StaO--I do not see the bOndsmen OF the
defendant in Court, but see around me friends OF
undoubted responsibility who will give bail in any
sum named By the Court for the appearance OF Will
liam NJ. Connolly to answer the Judgment which
may be given on the verdict.
The Court said the practice was TO remand the
defendant into custody at the commencement OF the
trial if the motion was made. Ii must certainly be
done when the verdict was rendered against hlu
The DstIct-Attorney then moved to discharge
the attachment issued for Mr.. HartshOrne, the Jul
r0r who left the city daring the progress OF the
trial to see daughter who was then sick and has
since died. The Court said that the circumstances
were such greatly to extenuate If not wholly TO
excuse the Juror in what would, under ordinary
circumstances, be regarded great breach OF
duty. The attachment would, therefore, be dis
charged upon payment Of the costs of the Marshal
i'll executing it.
The counsel for the defense then gave notice Of a
motion for new trial, the principal ground ofwhich
will probably be the Deputy Marshal sitting as a
| Juror This is to be heard tomorrow morning at
H. There is no writ of in these cases and il
the Judge does not grant trial the defendant
must suffer the penalty of the law. L do not think
any comment oil such fact at all necessary to show
the efforts made TO secure the conviction of this
| nan. There were one or two on the jury who were
by some supposed to be against any conviction un-
der this law; but the majority are am informed,
| thorough. going Lecompton Pro-Slayery men.
The prisoner gave slight start as the word
| Guilty was pronounced, but manifested other
| emotion. He If tall man and of good size, has
clear restless blue eye rather light complexion, with
| brown beard, which he full, and dark brown
hair He has been engaged throughout the trial in
