Murder In the First Degree.

The trial of Oscar Meyer for the
murder of Herman Krause, January,
1884, was concluded on Monday, and
the Jury brought in a verdict of MUIR
der in the first degree. 1t has been
evident to majority of those who
heard the evidence that the jury would
convict. The state had woven about
the accused chain of eircnmstantial
evidence which it was impossible to
break. Testimony showed Meyers
whereabouts from the time he left the
farm of Krause on Grand Isle, with
Krause, till the two were seen at
Smiths point, where Krause was last
seen alive, and where evidence of foul
play was soon after found. Not link
seemed missing, and Meyers where
abouts after leaving Smiths Point, the
improbable stories he told, the dispos-
al he made Of Krause's clothing, his
efforts TO get possession of his victims
trunk and wages, and his contra
dictory and self eliminating manner,
were all brought out in a manner 80
plain as to leave no doubt of his crime.
The only evidence defense introduced
was to prove that bodies could not re-
main under water as long as the one
found at Maquams said to have been
Krause's. Defence did aot undertake
to explain any of Meyers stories or
how he got possession of Krause's
clothes, and even the evidence produc-
ed on the point of the Identification of
the body vas fully Offset by state wit
nesses. Judge Royce's charge show
ed plainly how much the evidence was
against Meyer. The jury were out
only three-quarters of an hour, and
the verdict is considered a just one.
Meyer received the announcement with
apparent indifference, such as he has
displayed throughout the trial. SEN
tence was deferred, respondents conn
sci was given time to file exceptions. 1
1he only apparent motive for the
murder was to get possession of
hranse's trunk and contents and
about Sl7 in wages, due him from his
employers. By the law of the state
one biennial session of the legislature
must intervene between Movers SEN
tence and the day of his execution.

Chicago is again excited over frauds
upon the ballot box. 1t is claimed
that the successful candidates in the
recent municipal election gained their
election by open bribery and other
corrupt means. In one ward the bal
lot box was stolen. There can be no
doubt that the election was largely
determined by the use of money and
LIQUOR. The condition of affairs is
such as to justify the indignant pro-
