ELLWOOD CONVICTED.
He Talks Indignantly to the Repor-
ters of the Trial.
A THREAT OF WHAT He MAY DO.
The Counsel for the Defense 10 Allowed
Five Days to File Exceptions After
Which the Willy Burglar VIII Go
Back to the State Prison.

The jury in the Ellwood burglary case
returned a verdict Of guilty at the open
ing of the Court at $50 this morning,
after having the case in charge since lilo
o'clock yesterday forenoon.
When the jury left the court room to
deliberate, the crowd waited some time
in anticipation of their seasonable return.
When, after few hours, it became evil
dent that disagreement existed between
the members of the jury as TO the prison
er's guilt. some of the impatient ones de-
parted; but the greater part OF the crowd
remained until the court was adjourned
at $780,
At that hour 1t was understood that
the jury stood ten for conviction aud two
for acquittal. Ii this was the fact the
two obstinate members were probably
brought around during the night.
counsel for the defense moved for an
arrest OF judgment in order that
they might have an opportunity to pre-.
pare bill OF exceptions. The court al.
lowed the defence five days in which to
file exceptions.
Ellwood was returned to his cell in the
court house, and little later few meni-
bers of the press were admitted to see
him.
Ellwood greeted them pleasantly and Mt
first talked quietly and calmly, remark
ing In answer to query that it was hard,
but he had got TO stand 1t. In talking
Ellwood gradually grew earnest and bitter
in his denunciation of the manner
in which the case had been con-
Quoted by the State, claiming that
officers Lisby and Mcclure and
the colored man Johnson had perjured
themselves wilfully. The other wit
nesses, he said, he did not believe had
wilfully perjured themselves, but that
the three others mentioned were whole
souled liars. IF the State of RHODE
ISLAND" he said, "can afford to convict
me upon perjured evidence / can afford
to lose my life in the penitentiary.
"The State of RHODE ISLAND will curse
the day they ever send me to the peniten-
tiary on the strength of the perjured tes-
timony of Luby, Mcclure and Johnson
Write to the higher penitentiary and they
will tell you that / am a man OF my
word"
His voice he had gradually raised to
such degree that IL was feared the
court would be disturbed, and the repre-
sentatives of the press withdrew.
The counsel for the defense will file
their exceptions as soon as possible, and
endeavor to secure another trial.

A minute later cries of fire rang through
the building, followed by the shouts OF
the half asleep and terror striken guests.
The guests rushed in droves from their
bedrooms.
All were attired in their sleeping gowns
only, not having time to dress. The night
was cool and very unpleasant for the
compelled to remain without shelter for
some time.
The fire, which broke out in the confec-
tionery store, soon spread to the main
building, and then to the north wing,
and soon the entire structure was in a
blaze.
