from his brow. The voice of Foreman
Clark came out clear and distinct, and
with Il triumphant ring to it, when lie
answered 1--WE have" in response
to the question of the clerk of
the court, as to whether he and his
colleagues had agreed Oh Il verdict. Ris-
ing in his seat he handed a folded paper
to the clerk. The stiffness at this mo-
ment was not merely oppressive, but
painful. Every eye vas turned upon
the five men whose fate in another mo-
ment would be determined. Forrest cast
81 glance of encouragement towards his
clients, as much as to say, "Be brave"
Poster from his chair a couple of feet
distant, threw a few words in a wlis-
pered tone to Beggs. In a moment the
voice of the clerk, clear and distinct,
rung out upon the air: awe find the
defendant John F. l'cggs not guilty as
charged in the Indictment"
There was ~ buzz iii the court as
though a thousand bated breaths had
been let loose. The blood rushed to the
face of the lawyer prisoner. and in a
second later it was of carmine hue. His
right arm, which had been resting on
the railing, fell to Ills side, and his entire
frame shook like that of n mar afflicted
with the palsy. All this was but the
work of a moment. Again the voice of
the clerk rang out: owe find the de-
PENDANT, John kunze, guilty of man
slaughter, and fix the penalty at three
years Imprisonment in the penitcntiary."
There was Il pause before the clerk re-
sumed.
No doubt remained but that the re-
naming defendants had been con-
demned to die On the Sraffold or 10 suffer
Il living death. The eyes Of Cough
lin, Burke and O'Sullivnn were riv-
tied on the reader, while the con-
vu!sive movements of their jaws showed
that each man was making Il super.
human effort to control his feelings.
For the third time the clerk cleared his
throat and proceeded: 1--WE find the
prisoners daniel Coughlin. Martin Burk,
and Patrick OSullivan guilty of murde,
rs charged in the indictment, and fix
their punishment at imprisonment il
the pc%nitentiary for the terms of thei,
natural lives"
The suspense of the auditors foun(
vent in a half suppressed shout, and thu
demeanor Of the three men passed I'm
noticed in the wild scampering of til,
newspaper men and officers from tn,
room.
The court then thanked the jury, anc
turning to the states attorney said: "Al

SENATORS PIERCE and Casey will

the efforts of newspaper scribblers to
arouse jealousics and m%tagonisms be

are both above such petty feeling,
and.if either could be drawn into it
he would furnish evidence that his
election to the exalted station was Il
serious mistake. The people of
North Dakota ha'c no sympathy with
the chickering's and contentious of the
professional politicians who seek, for
selfish purposes, to handicap this one
and break down that one, regardless
of the interests of the general public.
Some of these politicians are trying

tract from Casey, but the people
should give no heed to such political
trash. They are both excellent men,
