inst. In the case of William White, the
jury brought in a verdict of guilty OF
murder in the first degree, on the 2lst,
but recommended him to the mercy
of the court. White being asked
why sentence should not be pass
ed upon him replied: 81 have
this to say: fam not guilty of

the case, showing the enormity of the
crime, held that when persons commit
the crime of burglary or other felony.
if a person is murdered by shot fired
| by one or more of the parties commit
ing the burglary, not only the one who
fired the shot but all others participat-
ing in the burglary are guilty of the

The Judge sentenced William b. White
to be taken hence to Jail; thence to the
state prison at JACKSON, there TO he in

plea OF guilty. claiming, however.
not TO have shot or taken any money.
His attorney, Robert White, read full
confession written by Reynolds. The
same sentence was passed upon him as
upon White.
Katterman's case was called the DIST.
Not having an attorney, Judge futile
gave him every opportunity to question
witnesses, of which he availed himself
at great length. In addressing the
jury he said positively that Reynolds
fired the fatal shot. The jury were
out about three minutes and returned
verdict of murder in the first degree.
Judge Tuttle passed the same sentence
as on White and Reynolds. The cases

The Effect on Grant.

A Washington special says that gentleman
who saw Gen. Grant recently declares he is
utterly broken down by the disclosures which
have followed the failure OF the firm in which
he was interested; that the shock has short
ened his life by 10 years. He talks freely about
It TO his intimate friends but Keeps himself
secluded. He fears he has lost the respect and
confidence Of the country. The general admits
that some friends came TO him months ago and
warned him that Ward was an adventurer and
was using his name In au improper way. His
confidence In the young man was SO great that
he repulsed them and thinks he may have
treated some of them coolly. He is said TO be
so sensitive about the matter that he doesn't
read the newspapers and knows but little OF
the magnitude OF this failure or the extent OF
Wards fraudulent operations.
