Although you may believe that defendant

moved furniture and other ARTICLES mentioned
in the evidence from III South Clark street
to said cottage, and may further believe that
Cronln vas murdered in the Carlson cottage,
you are advised that these acts of defendant

you in concluding that he vas u party to the

beyond all reasonable doubt, that such acts
of defendant Barke were deliberately and

convict the defendants upon the mere doc

you may believe it highly probable and very
likely that the defendants are guilty, no

a verdict of guilty against the defendants

oetn Claiming Innocsnos Of the Chases

J. A. Z. Biackhall vas seen yesterday q
the county jail By Journal reporter and o.
being asked il there vas anything BE- vould
like said through the columns Of the Journal
said:
Nothing except that am innocent Of the
charge on which l was convicted. This ID

become sufficiently acquainted for all my
purposes. The result Of this trial. ~ have

other way for manager to 20 into conser.
vative place like Wsterville and conduct the
matter.
l didn't have any Of Kinsley Z Company's
money but what accounted for The money
spent % freely Was mine aud mine only.
Every manager has like privileges and gets
like Gums for his own pocket. Whenever
the market itself beats the customer the pro-
ceeds outside the regular commission to the
house goes to the manager. That's where
the point is and here 10 what Kinsley 4 Con.
pany were after. They thought that was
making too much money for myself and
wanted me to divide with them. Naturally
couldn't see it in that light and not only
hesitated about doing il but refused to. Then
they saw chance to freeze me out Of the
business and take all Of it for themselves.
but, I'm afraid their Waterville business 10
not running at present. They knew nothing
about the business. In fact they hardly
knew who they were dealing with. Kinsley
couldn't testify on the stand whether Doran
Wright Company had both Boston and New
York offices or not
Nov about some of those deals brought up
at the trial Why, made deal after deal on
my own account for parties. Sonnet times
got bitten, paid the loss squarely, but never
went back on trade. There was the oat
deal. The party bought at 81, protected to
ls and the market fell to l6. OF course that
wiped out his margin. II was deal through
me and got the money. All the deals were
placed with the Doran Wright Company and
! never suppressed one.
On being asked II be should allow the mat.
ter to proceed according to the verdict, or
fight the case still further, he answered:
II am hardly prepared to say just what l
shall do. My attorney, Mr.. Brown, was
down today, and ! don't know exactly what
will be done. Anyway, care but little for
imprisonment. The disgrace OF the trial and
verdict of guilty of embezzlement 10 more
than sufficient punishment, mentally, already.
Whatever there may come in bodily punish
ment will not add much to it. for the other 10
enough.
