Lentz, the Mankato Murderer,
Convicted by His Peers.
SPECIAL to the Globe
MANKATo, Minn., Feb. 5.-The Jury
in the Amboy murder case returned a
verdict this evening of guilty, charging
William LentZ with the murder of John
Schwartz at Amboy on July 10 last.
Public sympathy has been largely with
the defendant throughout the trial. The
crime was most heinouS one. On the
morning of July 10 last John Schwartz,
who occupied chamber in his fathers
house near AmbOy, rushed down stairs
with his throat cut from ear to ear and
from the results of which ne soon died.
William LentZ, the convicted man, oc-
cupled the room with Schwartz, was in
the room with him that morning and
followed him down stairs. A bloody
razor was found in the room. The
theory of the prosecution has been that
as Schwartz opposed the contemplated
marriage of Lentz aud Emma Schwartz,
the dead mans sister, that Lentz COM
mitted the murder to remove the OBJ
stacle to his marriage to the girl, and
also hoped thereby to get possession of
goOdly portion of the Schwartz prop
erty. No other motive could be sus-
pected. The defense endeavOred to
maintain the theory of suicide. The
trial aroused general interest through
out the community, and there are many
who express belief in the Innocence of
the convicted man. LentZ is a young
man of good appearance and address,
and shows little indication of being
capable of committing such crime. His
own testimony was unShaken, but his
Indifferent and at times StOical manner
IN court counted against him. He re-
ceived the verdict quite coolly, but his
sister, who was in court with him
throughout the trial. was greatly agi-
tated. 1t is not yet known what the
sentence will hp

strOyed, and then communicated to the
Berlin mills wharf at the low
er end of which Frank Dudely had
100000 feet of lumber. This was
destroyed. The fire was checked in
this direction, after considerably dam
aging the Boston & Maine railroad
