MAYOR wYMAN CONVICTED.
Anegheney's Chief Executive Adjudged
Guilty of Extortion.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 12.--The jury in the
case of Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny,
returned a verdict of guilty on two
counts of the indictment charging ex-
tortion in collecting witness fees. On
two other counts involving the same
offense, verdict Of not guilty was rem
dered. When the verdict was read
Mayor Wyman became deathly pale,
and was taken to seat by his friends.
When he recovered he had nothing to
say The penalty for extortion on each
count is 5000 fine or one year imprison-
mcnt, or both, at the discretion of the
court. The court also orders his re-
moval from Office, part of the punish
lnent.
The verdict caused sensation gener-
ally in the court room. There were q
number of Allegheny Office holders there,
and when they heard that their official
head had been found guilty, many felt
uneasy and said so. Ex-Mayor Richard
L. Pearson, who was present with ex-
Chief kirschler, was almost as greatly
affected as Mayor Wyman, for the COM
monwealth claims that the evidence
against the eX-mayor is exactly similar
i'll character to that which convicted
Mr.. Wyman. There is a charge of EN-
bczzlement still pending against the
latter,

added that they are doing everything
