porter of the Sunday World, and W. >.

number of people during shooting snray
on High street in this city on the after
noon of February 23d last, was convicted
this morning of murder IN the second de-
gree. The trial has been IN progress since
May 11th. The crime was the direct result
of personal journalism" III,
The Jury have vowed that they Will
never disclose how they stood on any OK
the ballots, and thus it will probably never
be positively known who the dissenters
were. BY the laws Of Ohio, murder IN the
second degree is punishable by life i'm.
prisonment. the Court having no alterna.
tive in the matter.
Notice of motion for new trial was
made and so sentence was not passed. Inc
Court fixed next Saturday as the time for
hearing arguments on the motion tor
new trial.
SCREAMS AND A PAINTING FIT.
When the Clerk began to read the ver-
dict there was q highly-sensationai scene.
When the Clerk read the Indictment FOR
murder in the first degree" Mrs. r. j..
Elliott thought that meant guilty OF mur-
der in the first degree and partially rose
and made suppressed scream. She then
| fell back into her chair. As the Clerk
reached the words guilty Of murder in
| the second degree" Miss Maroney
arose. gave vent to wailing cry.
and then fell back IN fainting Mt. Mrs.
w. J. Elliott was very pale, but made no
! demonstration. w. j. Elliott had his
youngest boy in his lap and when the YER
| dict was being read he covered the childs
eyes and mouth SO he could not see or
make an outcry. When Miss Maroney
| tainted the defendant turned to her and
| gave some instructions about what to do
| with her. Neither Mrs. w. j. Elliott nor
| the children made any demonstration at
| all. Miss Maroney was taken into the
| Judges private room, where she soon re,
vived and left with the remainder OF
| Elliott's relatives.
As the verdict of the jury was read
| Elliott became so enraged that he pulled
the Grand Army of the Republic button
| from the lapel of his coat and threw II
spitefully In the direction OF the jury;
| Elliott's wife and children were escorted
to the jail, where fearful scene was en-
! acted.

is but putting match to the fuse which Is
liable To cause the explosion OF the whole
barrel of dynamite at any moment. Inc

COULD NOT USE THEIR CLUBS.
Tho Guardians Not Being Familiar with
the Stick Suffer Defeat.

Just as the hands Of all the clocks in the
city pointed TO 400 j. Nor rather ought
10 have pointed to that hour yesterday
aftcrnoon-nine sturdy policemen laid
aside their blue coats and appeared upon
the diamond at Island Park with the fixed
intention of winning baseball contest
with the Richmonds.
There was grim look Of determination
in their eyes, such as beams forth when
they arrest On urchin with a gravel-shooter,
and il was easy 10 see that they were gong
to fight TO the death.
A hundred OF more of their admirers
took seats in the grand-stand and around
the fonce, and all watched with bated
breath the thrilling encounter of the blue
coated guardians" with their willy adver-
saries.
CHEERS FOB THE DLUT-CoATsTN WHITE.
Sales, of the police. like all his conf-eres,
was bedecked in luminous suit Of white,
with knickerbockers, and when he went
to his place in right-feld, carving with him
his 2i5 pounds weight. a storm of en-
thusiaslic applause followed his duck-like
movements. Far out in the green per-
spectiye his rotund figure was the centre
of an admlrlDg gaze throughout the con-
test.
The Richmonds we're the first 10 the bat,
and wnen they grasped the stick Kersc,
with his mud turtle agility. took his place
behind the bat. while Folkes pitched.
A DIFFERENCE IN STICKS.
The cops commenced gloriously, put
the batters ont In One-twO-three order,
but when their whack came they, too, met
a like fate.
Although club-swinging was their pro-
! fession thev found that there was con-
| siderable difference between their sticks
| and "A baseball bat. Besides, the pony
battery" of the Richmonds were manipu-
| latIng the sphere III sucn a manner that
| they deemed II best not TO hit the balls.
In the second inning the Richmonds
| commenced making runs and continued TO
pile up their score TO the last. while on the
contrary the guardians" only managed
| to make three. As II was they generally
| got to first by being struck by the ball.
| Folkes, however, pitched good game for
| them. while Kerse grasped the hOrse-hlde
| in n manner which astonlshed those who
hitherto had been wont to comment on
| his lethargic movements. Marion made
oute IA pretty catch on third. while Sales,
the rotund. succeeded IN keeping his
| hands OFF verything that came within his
| reach.
MyS OF GREAT Possibilities.
The policemen really PLAYED quite good
game for men who have had so little prac-
| tice. and some of them might make their
mark if bats were increased To the size OF
| a shovel and base-balls to the shape and
| dimensions of a jackson watermelon. Ap-
| pended is the score;
