guilty Of murder, but guilty Of man

made, but before the verdict was ~
corded, Mr.. Crisfed, counsel for defense,
demanded poll Of the jury; when the
name Of the eighth juror, Edward F..
Cousey, was called he answered, ''not
guilty" His reply caused quite sensa-
tion In the court and appeared to afford
relief to many in the courthouse. The
judge then said as the jury had not
agreed, they would have to retire for
further consideration. Atl0:lO the jury
then again came into court, and in re-
ply to the usual question, answered,
"Not guilty Of murder, hut guilty of
manslaughter." The sheriff then took
charge Of the prisoner and the court took
recess until 2 o'clock.
