Sixth aad Last Day of the Trial Of John J.
Nixon for the Murder OF David III. Sisco-
verdict:- :--Nlurder i'll the Second Degree--Sen.
tence:-Twenty Years State Prison.
The Nixon murder trial was resumed at half-past
nine yesterday morning, there being an immense
concourse OF spectators present all day long. Mr.
Woodruff, the senior counsel Tor tho dc.
fence, continued his argument, which lasted
from the honr OF meeting until noon,
claiming that the prisoner was not guilty of the
murder OF SiscO, although admitting that he had
committed an assault upon him. The defence adj
vanced the theory that after being whipped and left
alone by Nixon, Sisco had wandered down the hill
and fell upon the boodcovered stone thus receiving
the fatal wound upon the forehead.
Mr.. Williams, the District Attorney then con.
cluded the summing UP for the State. He proceeded
to apnihilate the line Of defence and after again
relating in telling language the circumstances OF
tue dreadful tragedy, concluded by claiming to have
murder in the first degree.
Throughout the whole proceedings the prisoner
betrayed no signs OF emotion besides little flushing
OF the face. At five O'Clock the court roconvened,
and Judge Bedle proceeded Immediately to charge
III d9e jury hour lie occupied the best part
and defining the various degrees Of murder,
and concluded by admonishing the jury to do their
duty, whatever the consequences might be, and In
yoked an all.wise Providence to guide them In their
deliberations.
AT precisely four O'CLOCK r. NJ. the Jury retired
The impression seemed 10 be almost universal that
the jury would be cut but shori time and that the
verdict would be murdor in the second degree.
THE VERDICT.
The jury came into court at halfpast seven and
rendered verdict OF murder In the second degree
The prisoner was asked what lie had to say, when no
replied that m lie had Killed Sisco he did not intend
to; both were drunk and they got into fight"
Judge Bedle then sentenced the prisoner, John j.
Nixon, 10 the State Prison at hard labor for the term
OF twenty years. No emotion was visible In the
countenance Of The prisoner when the sentence was
pronounced. And thus ends the Nixon-Sisco muir
