Degree-New England Editors.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.l
NASHVILLE, May 13.-The trial of Will
liam Spence for the murder of his son-in-
law, Col. Edward s. Wheat, terminated in
the Criminal Court to-day. The jury was
out about eight hours, and it was thought
they had disagreed. This morning they
brought in a verdict of ''guilty of murder
in the first degree" as charged in the in
dictment. The prisoner, who is over
sixty eight years old, was visibly affected,
turned first red then pale, and tears stood
in his eyes. The verdict was somewhat
of surprise, many believing the defense
had proved insanity. A motion for new
trial was entered, but the general opinion
is that Judge Allen will not grant the mo-
ton as the case was carefully tried and
the jury was the judge OF the sanity OF the
defendant. An appeal to the Supreme
Court will be taken. No white man has
been hanged in this county for eighteen
years.
Rosa Friedman, the Russian Jewess and
widow of Meyer Friedman, who was muir
dered a month ago, was indicted by the
grand jury and put in Jail without bond
to-day on the charge OF participating in
the murder OF her husband. She is in a
delicate condition. Meyer Moscovitz, jr.,
stepbrother and alleged paramour of Mrs.
Friedman, and Zeke White, colored, are
also in Jail, charged with the same murder.
A triple hanging is not improbable.
During thunderstorm this afternoon

The London Church Tunes, the organ OF
week, IN an article in which il comments
severely on the Duke OF Hesse's morganatic
marriage, SAYS; THAT the German al
Hsnces of the royRl family and their con-
nections have been frsught with danger
- the public morals OF the country; that,
however severe the Queen may be on any
dereliction from propriety in her own
court, she has not hesitated to sacrifice
her daughters TO men Of loose and ques-
tiOnable morality" The secular papers
are equally severe, and TO sustain their
structures they copy every extract from
the memoirs Of Princess Alice calculated TO
SHOW the meanness Of the German Courts
toward English princesses in contrast to the

people 20 every German who has entered

HAZLEHURST, MISS.
The Taking of Testimony Closed I'm the
Wheeler Murder Trial.

ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.J
HAzLEHURsT, May 13.-J. B. Scott,
witness for the defense, testified last
evening that he had heard Matthews say
that he intended to kill Wheeler; that he
was tired of the Democrats doing SO much
bulldozing. Witness communicated these
threats to Wheeler before the election.
The trial was resumed this morning at
9 o'clock, and Henry Muller, for the de-
fense, testified that he knew Matthews,
and had heard him in Jackson, Miss,
make threats against Wheslor and his
crowd.
Counsel for the State objected to the
testimony, and counsel for the defense
argued that the testimony of Muller would
show the animus of the Matthews party;
that there was apprehension en- the part
of the citizens of Copiah county lest Mat
thews should carry these threats into ex-
ecution, and that therefore the meeting
and procession the day before the election,
and the sending of the note to Matthews,
were necessary to the public good. Gen.
Hooker, of counsel for the defense, said
he intended to show by Muller's testi-
mony that Matthews had threatened to
kill, or have killed, every prominent Dem
ocrat in Copiah county, and would carry
the killing into Kinds county.
The Court sustained the objection, and
the defense reserved an exception to the
ruling.
The testimony of Maj. f. G. Wall,
corroboratiye OF Muller's, was excluded
and was embraced in the bill of exceptions
L. +. Chiles, who resides in jackson,
Miss, testified that he heard Matthews
say, in jackson, Miss, few days before
the killing, that he expected they would
have hell OF time election day in Co
piah county, and he expected he would
have to kill Wheeler, Bro xn, Dobbs and
others Matthews was under the influ-
ence of drink when he made this state
ment. Witness never communicated
Matthews's threat to Wheeler.
Z. b. Wheeler, the defendant, was put
upon the stand, and stated that he had
ordered. the gun sent to him that he eR-
pected Matthe rs to carry out certain
threats against his life. He said that
Matthews had voted, and as he turned
from the ballot-box was approaching the
