The Verdict, Granddaughter"
Yesterday morning there was again a
full attendance in the Courtroom to hear
the verdict in the case of Howard At
twenty minutes past 10 O'Clock the jury
came into Court for further instructions.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Rives, Of coun-
sci for the State, Howard was sent for,
that he might hear all that pertained to
his trial. When he came into the Court
room he was considerably agitated. The
foreman of the jury then arose and
stated that the instructions which the
jury wanted were in regard to the penal
ties for the different kinds of homicide.
The Judge road the law on the point,
which is in effect as follows For murder
in the first degree, death; for murder in
the second degree, a term OF imprison-
ment in the State Prison, of not less
than ten years, and which may DO ex-
tended to imprisonment for life; for
manslaughter term of imprisonment
not exceeding ten years. The jury then
went out and Howard was taken back to
Jail, and the Court took a recess.
At twenty-five minutes to IL, after the
Jury had been out twelve hours and thir-
ty-eight minutes, officer Hoag came into
the Courtroom and announced that the
jury had agreed upon a verdict. The
Court then ordered that the jury be
brought in. This was Immediately done,
and as the jury filed into their places a
peculiar look of uneasiness, which in
some amounted to agitation, was visible
on their faces. The defendant was
brought in, and took his usual seat be-
side his counsel. All through the trial
he had constantly kept his eyes fixed
upon the person who was speaking,
whether Judge, juror, witness or coun-
sci. All along, too, his face bore an ex-
preston, as far as it was capable of hay
ing any expression, of fear He had
only shown his agitation to more than
barely perceptible extent when he came
in at the time that the jury asked for
instructions. Now, however, he watched
every movement inside the bar, and
moved his chair uneasily.
In answer to the usual question, the
foreman Of the jury. replied, YES"
and handed the Judge the verdict, which
was given to the Clerk, and read, as fol-
| lows:
PIocHE, Nevada, Aug. 10, 1873.
To His Honor, NJ. Fuller, Judge of the
District Court of the Seventh Judicial
District of Nevada,
We the jury in the case of the State of
Nevada against Jefferson Howard have
decided on verdict which is as follows,
that said defendant Jefferson Howard is
guilty of manslaughter.
J. Z. THOMPSON, Foreman.
As the word "manslaughter" was read,
Howard seemed to be much easier in
mind. In fact, we have good authority
for stating that he is well satisfied with
the verdict.
The counsel for the defense asked that
the pronouncing Of the sentence be de-
ferred until one week from to-day
Saturday-in order that they might have
time to move for new trial; granted.
The Jury was then discharged, and the
Court adjourned until this morning at 10
O'Clock.
On the first ballot the jury stood eight
for conviction Of murder in the first de-
gree; two, murder in the second degree;
one, manslaughter, and one for aoquittal.
