New LISBON, O., March 26-George Hun
ter was this morning found guilty Of mur.
der in the second degree, after = trial Of
ten days duration. The jury retired sboat
two clock yesterday afternoon and brought
IN its verdict at s:l5 TINS morning. Coun.
sci for the prisoner made q motion for .
new trial, which will be considered April 10.
The crime for which Hunter was tried and
convicted has been called the Jennie
Cramer case Of Ohio" and was one Of the
most mysterious murders ever perpetrsted
in the State.
Gertie Phillips, young and pretty girl
living at Salneville, Columbiana county.
was theyictim. Hunter was her lover aud
the two had been intimate for years. The
wedding day had been set several times, but
the ceremony was as often postponed ct his
request. On June %, 1884, the two were
seen together in piece Of woods on the out.
skirts Of Salineville. That night Gertic did
not return to her home, and nothing was
heard of her for nearly week. In the
meantime Hunter had made trips to several
neighboring towns snd had been drinking
heavily. In one Of these places he pawned
a revolver for liquor. He was questioned
concerning the Whereabouts Of Gertie, but
declared that he had lost her neer the place
where they were seen together, and that
since then he had not set eyes on her.
On July 5, six days after the girls disap'
pearance, her dead body was found in the
woods, q short distance from where Hunter
alleges thet be parted from her. The girl
had been dead some time, and bullet hole
through her forehead showed that there had
been ioul play. Hunter was arrested, aud
strong evidence Of his guilt has been pro-
duced by the prosecution. The bullet taken
from the wound in the girls forehead exactly
fitted the barrel of Hunters revolver, and
he could give no satisfactory explanation as
10 his whereabouts after leaving Gertie the
last night she was seen alive. II was shown
that she was about to become mother.
The theory OF the State was that the girl
threatened Hunter With exposure unless he
made her his wife, and he shot her to pre-
vent the execution Of the threats. The case
excited great interest, and there were many
who sympathized with the prisoner. lie
still maintains bis innocence.

OTTAWA, March 26.-The members Of
the government are reticent, but it is evi-
dent that they have bad news from the
Northwest. The chief anxiety seems to be
lest the Indians join the half breeds, with
whom they are intermarried. These In
dians have for years been Systematically
robbed by dishonest government agents,
and they may now seize an opportunity
to redress their wrongs. General
Middleton, who has left here TO command
the troops at the scene OF the outbreak,
stated before leaving that the militia could
handle the half breeds alone, but If the IO,-
600 Indians in the Northwest territory
should also rise, more troops would have
to be sent for from other points Of the Do.
ninion. There are only 500 mounted po-
lice, and S37 militia all told. The Gov.
ernment has received word that the Indians
and halfbreeds at Edmonton and Battle.
ford are quiet, but 10 and possibly more,
Cree Indians have joined Riel at Duke
Lake.
Said to BE Small Affair.
The government received no information
OF any collision between The mounted police
and Riel. The so called rebellion is con.
fined to q small district near Fort Carleton
on the outskirts of Prince Albert settlement.
Riel is reported to have about 100 followers,
10 of them Indians and the rest halt.breeds.
The Indians otherwise have taken no part
in the disturbance. Poundmaker, Little
Pine, Lucky Nan, and other Indian chiefs
are all at o distance of $50 miles from
Riel's position, while Zig Bear who has also
been reported joining in the trouble, is
