One Haddock Conspirator Must Suffer.
The Iowa supreme court, IL session at
Des Moines, has affirmed the verdict and
sentence in the case of Fred MunchIath.
ir, convicted, at Sioux City, Iowa, of
mauslaushter in the Haddcck murder
case.

George C. Haddock who was Convicted.
He was indicted with John Arensdorf.
Harry l.. Leavitt, Paul Leader, Henry
| Peters. Geo. Tricber, Louis Phth, Harry

for murder and also for conslracy. and
his trial on the charge of murif was be-

the case was County Alton py S. NJ.
Marsh, NJ. D. OConnell and Hubbard,
spalding " Taylor. The prison RS cum
sci were o. c. Tredway, G. u Argo, l.
Pendleton, S. II. Lynn, NJ. MiGr,v and
&. w. Kellogg.
Or September II the case Nas subj
mitted to the jury, and after an, all-night
session it brought in verdict hiding de-
PENDANT guilty of manslaugbte. Muuch-
rath's counsel at once flied rotion for a
new trial, but on the Both q the same
month Judge Wakefield OVER led the mo-
ton and sentenced the connected man to
four years imprisonment in the peniten
tiary at Fort Madison. An appeal bond
was at once given of S7.ooo and ninety
days allowed for filing papers If appeal to
the supreme court. The case has since
that time been before the supnme court.
and has been directly i'll chargeof George
W. Argo. Munchraths leadin. counsel.
Last Mar h, when the present city council
of Sioux City caucusel on til, councils
elective officers for the year, Frd MUNICH
rath secured the caucus vote for street
supervisor of the Sec nd disLrit. He was
elected in open coun il for that fife, but
two democratic members, Aldermen G dy
and DeGuibet, voting against him. He
has since filled the office, which now be-
comes vacant.
In concluding the decision tie supreme
court finding is as follows: Aellant in
slsts that he could not be ctlvicted Of
manslaughter unless the death Il Haddock
was accomplished in pursuanc4cf con-
spjracy to which he was a paty, and if
this conspiracy only conte1il lated the
whipping Of Haddoel, and tho shooting
was not contemplated and asscncE to by
him, that he would not be responf ble for
it. But the whipping would hake been
unlawful, and it is settled that DE who
inspires to do an unlawful act il liable
for the acts of his co. conspiratoys dJne in
pursuance Of the comm N rssign. De-
! fcndunt is not free from liability for
the shooting by reason Of the NIT that the
injury done was greater than that in
tended by the conspirators. Numerous
other questions, including the ire tness
CT the charge to the jury and The su1fi-
cheney ct the evidence to sustain the ver-
diet, are dismissed by counsel. 1--WE have
considered them all with care. The charge
as whole was fair to defendant and the
portions eriticised by counsel wsre correct
or not of nature to mislead the jury.
The evidence as to the guilt of defendant
was conflicting, but we cannot say that it
does not sustain the verdict. We find no
error in the record prejudical to defendant
The judgment Of the circuit| court is
affirmed.
