TIE Cannon case occupied, as pre-
dicted by THE HERALD, the greater por-
ton of last week. The taking of testi-
mony closed Thursday morning and
John ID. Wilson took the floor for the
opening argument in behalf of the state.
He was followed by Col. Clark for the
defense A. r. Bushnell closing for that
side. AT the end of Mr.. Bushnell's ar
gument the court was adjourned until
Friday morning, as it was quite late.
At the opening of the court on that day
District Attorney Orr. addressed the
jury for an hour and a half on the part
of the state which closed the arguments.
The charge of the Judge was somewhat
lengthy and if it leaned either way the
opinion of those who heard il was that
the defendant scored the most points.
At the conclusion of the charge Frank
McKensie was sworn to take charge of
the jury and the twelve good and true
men filed out of the courtroom followed
by anxious glances. Neither curiosity
or anxiety could however penetrate
the nOn-commital look which settled on
each jurors face. After being out
about an hour they quietly filed back
and took their seats in the grand jury
box. The roll was called and in answer
to the usual question Gentlemen have
you decided on a verdict the foreman
replied I'VE have and handed the fate
full paper to the Clerk. A painful
silence ensued as the latter read, we,
the jury, find the defendant guilty OF
manslaughter in the first degree. The
jury were then discharged and got out
side to enjoy their liberty as soon as
possible. During the delivery of the
verdict the parents of the accused who
were present sat US if stunned by the
