mOPT ON THE HOME STRETCH.
The Fourth Verdict of Guilty With
Out Any Recommendation to
Mercy.

Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, Mr.. Varian brought his argument
to close and Judge Zane proceeded to
read his charge to the jury. The Court
consumed about ten minutes in render
ing the charge which his predecessors
usually took an hour in doing. After the
solemn charge had been heard, the jurors
filed out Of the Courtroom to decide on
a verdict. Thirty minutes was thought
the amount of time they would be absent,
but it was nearly an hour and II half be-
fore the tread of the twelve men was
heard, which caused general turning
around of the large audience to see the
faces of those who held Hopt's life
in their hands. After the jurors had
taken their seats, Clerk Mcmillan asked
il they had agreed upon verdict, and
they replied in the affirmative. The fore
man handed the following verdict to the
clerk:
ave, the jurors in the above entitled case,
find the defendant Frederick Hopt, alias
Fred Welcome, guilty of murder in the first
degree, as charged in the Indictment"
All eyes were turned ON the doomed
man during that all-trying moment, but
he moved not muscle nor showed q
single working of his innermost feelings,
whatever they were.
Messrs. Shceks and Williams, the de-
PENDANTS counsel, did rs able work for
the convicted man as was possible under
the circumstances. Mr.. Sheeks asked
for fifteen days. stay of proceedings in or
der to prepare a motion for new trial
The Court then adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning, and the deputies
escorted the noted criminal back to the
Penitentiary.

The climax of to-day's wholesale bust
ness in Judge Zane's court centered in the
manly action of Mr.. s. w. Sears. Ever
since the assistant superintendent of the
u. G.. NJ. /. was arrested and arraigned
for unlawful cohabitation, his numerous
acauaintances and friends among the
Mormons and Genties have wondered
how Mr.. Sears, as practical business
man, would plead. To-day he came into
court with MIR. Farley Williams, who ex-
planned to the Judge that Mr.. Sears was
present to make plea in the case OF the
United StatesIagainst him for unlawful CO.
habitation.
Mr.. Sears stood up while the clerk read
the indictment found against him charg-
ing the defendant with living for stated
number of years with Mary Needham-
Sears and Belle Whitney as his wives.
He pleaded guilty, and Mr. Williams
stated to the Court that the defendant
was ready for sentence.
The Court-Mr. Sears, have you any
thing to say before sentence is given!
Mr.. Sears-It is my purpose, your
honor, to obey the laws of my country in
the future.
Court-Do you promise in good faith
to obey the laws against polygamy and
unlawful cohabtation, as Interpreted by
the Court?
Ayes, sir; do promise.
Court-In consideration of your course
and, as believe. honest intent, | will
impose q light fine. You are ordered to
pay $500 and costs.
Mr.. Sears left the court room high in
the respect OF every American Citizen for
the brave and commendablc action he
took in the face OF two fires.

SHOCKING CASE OF INFANTICIDE.
The Result of an Inccstuous Union
The Mother Goes Free, MS the
Child Was StflI-BOrn.

Yesterday morning Miss Hannah f..
Craig, a 17-year-old girl, whose home is
in Spanish Fork, but who has been work
ing for some time in the family OF Mr..
John d. Coalter, 246 Third East street,
gave birth to a still-born babe, and con-
cealed it and as she thought all knowl-
edge of her shame from the world.
1t will be remembered by many that
on the 10Th of last July, Mrs. Craig, a
widow of nearly 40, gave birth to a child
and at once killed it by choking and cut
ting it with scissors and then hid the
body in cellar, at Spanish Fork. A half
brother of Mrs. Craig, named George
Thorn, was arrested in this city as the
father OF the child, and was said to have
aided in its death. Thorn and Mrs. Craig
are now in the Provo Jail awaiting trial.
1t seems that Miss Hannah realized
her condition, and yesterday morning at
about 2 o'clock she got up, went outside
and was delivered of the child and then
threw it into the vault. She tainted from
exhaustion, but on recovering went back
to bed until the usual time of arising,
when she got up, built the fire, and again
lCtiICb W iitt WIlCi Blu III
formed Mrs. Coalter what had happened,
and said that George Thorn was the
father OF her dead child
Drs. Anderson and Bower made an ex-
animation of the body of the infant and
expressed an opinion that it was still
born and had never breathed. The en-
tire evidence being given, the following
verdict was presented from the jury.
An inquisition holden at the City Hall, in
the Fifth Precinct of Salt Lake City, on the
2Sth day of September, before Adam Speirs,

hereunto subscribed: the said jurors on their
oaths do say, from the evidence presented
that said infant was the child of Hannah Z.
Craig and was still-born on the morning of
September 2Sth, 1885, at Salt Lake City.

Colorado Prisoners Break for Liberty
One Prisoner Killed.


COLORADO, TEX, May 3.-This
evening at 8 p. m, the prisoner In
the county Jail made break for liberty
while the jailer, II. j. Robinson, was
putting water in their cells. Two Of
the prisoners, Lloyd, murderer SEN
fenced for forty years, and Middleton,
horse-thief awaiting trial, forced the
door open.
Middleton struck the jsiler on the
head with p bag of rock. The other
prisoner, Lloyd, jumped out Of the win
dow to the ground, but was soon cap
tured. BY this time Mrs. Robinson,
the jsiler's wife, came up stairs with a
revolver and stopped Middleton from
doing her husband further injury.
Wayne Parks, deputy sheriff, hearing
the noise, hurried up toassist the jailer.
The prisoner thinking he had killed

killed there were fourteen persons In
Iured. At the time of the fire there
were eight families in the house with
total OF thIrty-six souls.
Mr.. Roehiok, who lived on the top
ioor, was the only one in the building
that escaped without loss. When the
fire broke out he closed his doors and
windows to keep out the smoke. he
took his wife and three children to a
front window and they passed down
ose by one on u ladder erected by the
firemen.
IN an interview he said he sawMrs.
Humphreys at the hospital, and she
said she thought Humphreys set the
place on FIRE.
Theodore Koerner stepped from the
ell OF his window to that OF one OF
Koehick's and from Roehick'g down
the ladder.
Mrs. Burge, finding the stairs in a
blaze, got out OF her front window and
crossed on sign, torn from an office
next door and put up by the tiremen,
to a place of safety.

by the smoke. He aroused his wife
and four children and dropped them
from the third-story windows into the
arms Of persons below.

ner jumped from window of the top
floor.
The direct cause of the fatality Ia at
tributed to the tardy arrival of the
hook and ladder companies and the
panic OF the tenants. The fire did not
get beyond the fourth floor. The fire
broke out In the kitchens of
Humphreys restaurant. The police
think ii was due to carelessness on
Humphreys part, who often closed
his saloon and left hot fire in his
range. The loss on the property was
