New YORK. July In the Walworth
case District Attorney Phelps concluded
his argument for the prosecution. MIR.
O'Conor, for the defense, then made sew
eral requests to the Judge to charge the
jury, including one that be charge that the
facts as proved do not show a deliberate
purpose to murder; that if the accused
believed the deceased to be desperate, it
initiates against the theory Of murder in
the first degree and If the act was the re
suit of terror it was not murder in the sec
ond degree
After a recess Judge Davis delivered
his charge to the jury, and called attention
to the new law under which the trial has
taken place and which makes it necessary
that deliberate purpose and premedita-
ton should exist before verdict OF mur-
der in the first degree could be given.
Judge Davis said that if the jury were
satisfied from the evidence that young
Walworth came TO New York with intent
to murder his father, then the crime was
murder in the first degree, but if the
crime was committed in sudden manner,
in an instant, then it would be murder in
the second degree. Judge Davis continu-
ing, said that the defense interposed was
two told-that the prisoner was insane at
the time of the act, and secondly that the
act was done in self defense.
The jury retired about 3 O'Clock and at
| $50 brought in verdict of murder in the
second degree,
| The silence which was preserved from
| the entrance of the jury remained unbro-
| ken for several minutes after the verdict,
Neither the prisoner nor his friends utter,
ed word Mr.. O'Conor then whispered
a word to Judge Davis, who announced
that they would suspend the sentence unit
Saturday morning at half past ten. The
prisoner was then removed TO the tombs
