d. NJ. Hall Convicted of Murder
in the First Degree--The Samp-
son Case hangs Fire--The Stage
Robbery Case Continued tc the
January Term. .
Deputy Sheriff Jake Beirude, of
VIII tie Pine county, p. a. Wagner,
sam. Mcguire, Tom Plain and 10.
Travis arrived last night by private
conveyance from Belmont. From
Mr.. Belrude we gather some particu-
lars relative to the criminal trials of
the present term of the Nye County
District Court. d. NJ. Hall, who
killed II man by the name Of Cope
land in Belmont OF the nth of June
last, was convicted of murder in the
first degree. lie was to have been
sentenced yesterday. Hal. Clayton
defended him. and he will, of course,
make an effort for a new trial, though
it is not probable that he will succeed
In obtaining it. The killing appears
To have been without provocation.
Both Hall and Copeland were former
residents of Silver City, Idaho.
While living there they had some
trouble, and Hall saws Copeland
threatened his life. Eighteen months
later they met i'll Belmont. Cope
land was engaged in discharging a
cargo of freight when Hall discovered
him. No words passed between
them. Hall told certain parties about
the threats made against him by
Copeland in Idaho, anu said he had a
notion to procure Il pistol and kill
him on the spot. And 50 he did. I'm
less he breaks Jail there is every prob
ability that he will hang by the neck
until dead.
THE SAMPSON CASE
Hangs fire. Only three jurors had
been obtained when our informant
left. \ new venire was issued, and
the Court recessed for ten days, to
allow the Sheriff to gather in the
lurymen. 1t is believed that no Jury
can be had in Nye county. If not,
the case will he transferred either to
Lander or Elko. The impression
prevails that, if the case goes on,
Sampson will be convicted of murder
i the second degree. The three Jury
men passed we're sworn 10 try the
caSe' ana are now III me charge Oh the
Sheriff. This is looked upon as a
somewhat hoVei procedure. District

appears for the State, and Hal Clay
