eALLIoN,s TRIAL.

The Cambridge Chronicle concludes its
| account of the murder trial of Glenn CALI
in the following manners
At o'clock last Saturday afternoon the
evidence being all in, the court adjourne d
until o'clock Tuesday morning at which
time States Attorney Milchrist made the
plea for the State, occupying the rest of
forenoon. In the afternoon Emory G.
Graves opened for the defense, followed
by John p Hand also for the defense, and
Mr.. Milchrist closed for the state. Wednes-
day morning Judge Glenn read the instruc-
tions to the jury. who retired at 1890 The
jury was out about an hour and a half
when they returned with the following YER
dict.
We, the jury, find the defendant guilty
in manner and form as charged in the in.
dictment. and find that he shall suffer the
punishment of death.
After the decision of the jury had been
read. no one could detect any signs of the
prisoner giving away. He was the same
person he had been during the trial, per-
fectly unmindful of what was going on, and
didnt seem to realize the full meaning of
the verdict, and men who wished a week
ago that he would be hung, began now to
feel quaking sensation creeping over
them. The time of the execution has not
yet been fixed, but probably will be before
our next issue.

with the plan adopted by the Anchor line.
The oldstyle hunks or berths have been
removed, and in their places have been

HOW HE PLAYED IT.

Yesterday afternoon a man approached
Mr.. Thayer, who has charge of the brick
and carpenter work of the new glass works,
and asked him for work. There being a
demand for good carpenters, the stranger
was at once engaged. He left for the pur-
pose of securing his box of tools. Soon
afterwards he returned, and stated that he
was unable to get the tools, as there was
SO to pay upon them for freight, and he
did not possess any money. Mr.. Thayer
Immediately gave him that amount and
the stranger started for the depot. He has
not been seen since, and it is dawning up
on the mind of Mr.. Thayer that the stran-
ger was confidence man. At least his
description has been given to the police,
and in case he is still in the city, he will be
arrested for obtaining money under false
