LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LUUAL lNTELLlGkNGE.
The PowELsoN CAsE-The San Francisco
ETdmiter of Saturday had the following
reference to the termination of this case:
The trial of James Powellson, on charge
Of felony, in enticinS Lily Nichols to enter
on life of shame, was concluded in Judge
Toohy's Court yesterday, the jury bringing
in verdict of guilty after an absence of a
few minutes. Sentence was postponed
until Tuesday. The full limit of the pen
atty IS five years in the penitentiary.
There were present i'll Court two women
with whom the prisoner had lived, and
would have testified as to his character, but
they were not called by the prosecution
During the argument Clarence Gray, attor-
ney for the prosecution created sensation
by pointing to Leftwich, who was in the
Court room, and referring to the testimony
of Lily, that he had seduced her He
called the attention of the jury to the re
SemblanCe of the two, the girl bearing a
strong personal likeness to the man, and
said that there could be no doubt but that
he was her father. Leftwich turned CHASTITY
pale, and became so nervous that he was
compelled TO go out into the corridor,
where he paced up and down until the
conclusion of the trial. When the verdict
was announced Powellson lost all his air of
indifference and appeared exceedingly crest
fallen, with the certainty of passing five
years, perhaps in Folsom, where he will
have an opportunity to develop his muscle
IN breaking rock. The police intend to fol-
low up this case by the arrest ON similar
charges Of fellows of the like ilk.'
