sion of the criminal court was held yester-
day, rare event on the Sabbath in Pres
byterian Western Pennsylvania. A jury
in the case of George Jones, negro boy,
on trial for the murder of George Foster,
had been out all night on Saturday, and at
10 O'clock Sunday they sent word to

court and took the verdict, which was one
of murder in the first degree. The prisoner

which infest the neighborhood of the
wharf. He also served an apprenticeship
as porter in houses of i'll fame. He is
the youngest person ever convicted of
murder in this country. On April 4, 1882,

pawn shop, purchased a revolver, hunted
Foster up and shot him in the back Three
months afterward Foster died, and on
Jones' trial his dying declaration was
stricken from the record because lie had
lived 100 days after receiving the wound
The defense was insanity, but the case
made out in his behalf was a weak one,
and he will soon stretch hemp.
