THE sTRAUDER MURDER CASE.
Twelve Men Again Declare Taylor
Strauder Guilty Of Murder In the
Pirst Degree. ..E.

hVtANNs
The trial Of Taylor Strauder, the col
orcd man, charged with the murder of
his wife, Annie Strauder, i'll this city, on
the 18th day of April, 1872, which has
been occupying the attention OF the Cir
cult Cont during this week, was con-
Guided yesterday by the jury returning
verdict of murder in the first degree
The history Of the case is too familiar
to our readers to repeat it. This Is the
second time Straudcr has been declared
guilty uf murder in the first legree, for
the killing of his wife. The first trial
ended on the 9th day Of May. 1873, at
which time the jury, after an hour and
half absence, returned verdict i'll favor OF
the death penalty. The jury in the trial just
ended were longer in their deliberations.
The cast was given 10 them OH Wednes-
day afternoon, and they did not agree on
verdict untill2I o'clock Thursday.
Very few were in the Court room at
thc ti1pe the jury returned. The clerk
having asked the formal question, "Gcn-
tlelncn Of the jury, have you agreed
upon II verdict - after the calling Of the
names Of the juror had ended, the fore
man arose in his place and handed the
verdict to the clerk, which was as fol-
lows
"We, the jury, find the prisoner guilty
ofmurdcr in the first degree, in accord
ancc with the indictment.
"MIcuAEL RoTm,
'"F0rcmdH.'
These terrible words did not seem to
have any effect on Straud"r. To outward
| appearance he seemed UNCONSCIOUS "f
their fearful meaning, and wore tn" same
indifferent expression on his face that
! len. characterized him since his arrest and
! imprisonment.
From what We CAP learn, the hE>t ""'-
lot taken 10y the jurors resulted in nine
! voting in favor of hanging and three for
| Imprisonment for life. The second bal
lot stood eleven for hanging and one for
Imprisonment. The above vote was
taken Wednesday night, and on Thursday
they came to unanimous decision rs re-
corded above. The verdict is most gen
orally approved by the public. as nearly
everybody believes the murdar t" have
been the most cruel and unprovokcd that
has ever occurred in this community.
Mr.. Davenport. after the verdict was
rendered. made motion for II new
trial. which will he heard at a subsequent
day.
