an hour and three quarters the bell rang, which
was signal that verdict had been rendered.
In less than fifteen minutes the spacious Court
House was filed to overhowing to hear the doom
OF highly respectable, but unfortunate citizen.
Death'like stiffness prevailed while the Clerk read
the verdict, which vindicated the prisoner of the
charged manslaughler, but found him guilty of
assault and battery. After heartily shaking the
hands of his attorneys, Mr. siddall arose and
bowed and thanked the jury, who in turn bowed
welcome. The verdict was received with loud
applause by the audience. 1t is due to the attOr-
neys for the defense that we compliment them ON
their very able management of the case. Gen,

self in prose after the lady had removed, for CON

Mr., Bates is now inearcerated. These letters, in
which he always addressed her as "Mrs. suie

with her caused him to separate from very esti-
