Morning journal and courier., 1880-01-20

The group surrounding the prisoner and his family seemed 10th to break up and the sheriff leniently fingered until at last all were ready to move. Mir. Hsyden's friends in their joy at the very favorable report were much cast
 down to think that he must return to prison for lack of that one vote, and Mrs. Hayden seemed at times comfortless, having evidently counted upon his immediate and triumphant liberation. Dropping the disappointment, friends gathered around MT. Hayden, and as he passed along down the stairs to go to the sheriff's office an immense cheering arose which fairly shook the court house. Cheer after cheer was given and the throngs hastened along to see the prisoner. He was taken into the sheriff office, where were ladies of socisf influence and refinement and various citizens
 of high position, among them very wealthy l and honored gentlemen. The prisoner and
 Mrs. Hayden were instantly greeted with
 words of congratulation. He received
 all with courtesy pleasantly. He went into the County Commission ers' room, and there-having lighted a cigar, which he seemed to relish greatly-he was warmly shaken by the hand by several of our most noted and wealthy citizens, who said to him, ''Mr. Hayden, that verdict is virtually ! an acquittal. It is an acquittal in the eyes of the public and the world, and if you want 6 bondsman you know where to find him" :"
 MT. Hayden seemed deeply sensible of the
 honor and substantial token of confidence. 1 Other prominent men said substantially the same. Mrs. Hayden still refused to be com-
 forted, feeling sorely distressed because her Herbert, as she called him, was to go back | to the prison cell. All seemed to vie with each other in trying to comfort her and to | assure her that her husband would soon be re- stored to her, and that he would not want for | friends.
 ! NIT. Hayden.
 MT. Hayden, to our reporter who was pres ! ent, speaking to him of the murder of Mary
 E. Stannard said, with feeling. "Whoever | murdered Mary Stannard was guilty of mur- l der in the first degree and deserved to be I hung. He could but regret that one vote still
 deprived him of his liberty, but of Juror
 Hotchkiss," he said, replying to words of censure which were uttered, "He Is in the Lords hands, and God will be his judge. I am willing to believe that he acted from conscientious motives, and, as he thought, right I wish him no iI." He was asked what were his feelings when answering the second summons last evening to proceed to the court room, after
 the question as to the second degree, many of the public thinking that the jury had deter mined upon verdict that would send him to State prison for life. MT. Hayden replied that he Chad no more entertained fear of such verdict than he had of the moons falling" MT. Hayden said 1t had been hard indeed to be deprived of his liberty for so long and shut up from all that he held dear by prison walls, but he did not dread the future, conscious of innocence.
 Shaking Hands.
 The people seemed 10th to leave the build ing, and finally the sheriff gave permission to the throng to pass in and shake hands with the prisoner, passing out by the other door. The prisoner was thus occupied for some ten or fifteen minutes. The prisoner greeted the people with cheerfulness and pleasure. MT. Jones was with the prisoner and his family during their stay. At last it became time to adjourn, and MT. Hayden was conveyed back to the jail, but with different feelings, it may be presumed, from those of tue morning.
 The Future of the Case.
 Counsel for MT. Hayden say that they will in few days make a motion for the admis- sion of the prisoner to bail, and that they have every reason to believe that the effort will be successful, and the amount of bail be not excessive.
 The great trial is over and the jury are dis charged. The news from the court room was the subject in everybody's mouth, and on every street the subject was being discussed. The news was instantly wired to all parts of the United States, and the readers of newspa- pers in all parts of the Union from Maine to the Pacific will be reading the result at their breakfast tables.
