ference and nnaily the clerk raised the
paper where the light would fall on it
and the judge bent forward and fixed
his eyes on the spectators. The people
were like marble figures, not word or
sign did they make, but their eyes
merely shifted from the Judge to the
clerk. The foreman then began read

Schwab, Fischer, Lingg and Engle
guilty as charged in the indictment
and punishable by death. We find
Neebe guilty Of manslaughter and fix

manned standing.

for the first time they knew their lives

by the Clerk if the verdict expressed
his true conviction and If he agreed in
the verdict. In answer there came q

TO BE RELEASED.
Cutting To Be Given His Liberty
Within q Few Days.

Ell PAso, August 2l.-The Mexican
authorities think that Cutting has now
by two months confinement, suffered
enough, and they will order his release,
to take effect, probably, by Tuesday or
Wednesday Of next week. The $500
fine is also to be remitted. The Court
expressly reafiirms all that has been
said in favor of the right of Mexico to
try an offanse committed in the United
States; therefore, the status Of the case
as an international question is not, and
will not be in the least, altered by the
release Of Cutting. It will come up
again directly on question of indem-
nifty.

There are no new developments today in
the bank case. The most noticeable and in-
expllcabe fact is the lack of ipterest on the
part of the stockholders as evinced bv the
fact that only eight men were present at the
annual meeting of the directors this after
noon, these representing only about sixty-fve
shares. The meeting lasted only an hour
The situation was discussed and an adjourn

panied by State Detective Hayden and Local
