accused, ending with the statement that
the verdict was shock and disappoint-

the jury had been unfaithful to their
duty, and that the evidence against the
prisoners was clear, continuous, complete
and convincing. The allegations of jury
fixing are considered, and it is stated that
all the jurors were examined and made
statements freely, rather welcoming the
opportunity. They nearly all justified
their verdict by the assertion that the
state had poor case.

WASHINGTON CITY, May h-Premier
Rudini's latest note to Marquis Impe-

the Italian question. Marquis Imperiali
was extremely reticent about the matter
yesterday and would only say: "You

slow to express opinion, do not attach
much Importance to this last note. 1t is

"home consumption" and to be used
there for the purpose of inspiring the
Italian people with the idea that their

LINCOLN, Neb., May 6.-The supreme

opinion recites the fact that Boyd was

Lieut.. Gov. Majors Not Gin It."
After quoting the constitution relating
to aliens, it proceeds to the question or
the successorship, and disposes of the
claims of Lieutenant Governor Majors
by stating that when the person receiving
the highest number Of votes for the Office
of governor is ineligible, under the consti-
tuition, to be elected, the governor holds
over.
Boyd Ready to Submit at Once.
The duties of the chief executive Office
of the state devolve upon the lieutenant
in certain contingencies, among which
are the failure of the governor-elect to
qualify, or the disability of the governor.
It cannot be said that there has been a
failure to qualify where no person has
been constitutionally elected to the office.
The writ of custer was served on Gov
ernor Boyd at 5 o'clock. He received it
calmly and said: ~ am ready to turn
over the office now"
Too Late to File the Motion.
His attorney, John d. Howe, of Omaha,
who had just arrived, requested him to
wait moment, and Immediately went to
the supreme courtroom to file a motion
for a stay, but as the Judgment had al
ready been entered and the writ served, it
was too late. The opinion was signed by
Chief Justice Cobb and Justice Norville.
Justice Maxwell dissenting. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Boyd will carry the case to the
supreme court of the United States. The
decision on the whole may be said to be a
surprise, the opinion being that in the
event of the ousting of Boyd Lieutenant
Governor Majors would be named as his
successor.
The Way Judge Maxwell Views 1t.
Judge Maxwelli in his dissenting opinion
contends that the fact that Boyd was a
resident of the territory at the time of its
admission into the union as a state, con.
ferred upon him the rights and privileges
of citizenship.
