MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE HoULToS nURDER.
The Jury Return . Verdict Of Mar.
slaughter.

HouLTOs, Sept. q.
In the trial of John Swanback for the muir.
der of John Hanson, Hon. Lewellyn Power
began the closing argument for the prisoner
this forenoon He argued that Swanbacl
was acting purely in self-defense. and for the
protection of bis family against the assault Of
Hanson; that Hanson came upon his land fol
the purpose Of inficting bodily injury upon
his client, and that if he had not fred in self
defence he would have been killed by Han.
son.
Attorney General Cleaves followed for the
State. He said it was conceded by the gov
ernment that the prisoner was not guilty OF
murder in the first degree, nor could it be
reasonably said that he was acting in self-de-
fence The prisoner had unlawfully taken
the life of Hanson in a quarrel provoked by
himself and must be held amenable to the
law; that crimes of this magnitude should
not go unpublished. The attorney general
argued to the jury the importance Of infict-
ing some punishment upon the prisoner. II
he was guilty of murder in the second degree
they would not hesitate to say so. If the
facts satisfied them that granddaughter had
been committed they would have independ.
ence to see the record of their verdict.
The arguments occupied over two hours
and half and were listened to by the jury
and tn. large audience in attendance with
much interest and close attention.
Judge Danforth delivered q very able
charge to the jury and they retired at IL
O'Clock. After being out three hours the
jury came into court and asked for further
instructions, which were given, and at six
O'Clock a verdict was returned by the jury
against the prisoner, finding him guilty OF
manslaughter. He will be sentenced TO-
morrow forenoon.
