NIssoULA, Sept. 16. - [Spscial.1 ~ The
lawyers for tho defense and prosecution in
the ease of John Bnrns. charged with the
murder of Maurice Higgins, took up most
the time in the court room to-day. Tho
plea OF the defense WAS that Of mistaken
identity, and that of the prosecution on tho
Tho speech of Judge Reeves for the de-
Tense occupied nearly an hour and . half.
The case went to- the jury 1T five o'clock.
Early in the evening il was rumored that
the jury stood ten for conviction of
murder in the first degree and
two for msnslauRhter, or MUIR
der in the second degree. The Judge
had said that he would be in the court room
at 10 O'Clock, but it was generally thought
that a verdict would not be arrived At to-
night. At $50 the jury sent to the judge
for some instructions on the lsw. Al 9:3O
there were in the court room Judge Mar
shall, the lawyers for tho prosecution and
defense, the prisoner and sheriff. and
half dozen citizens who had straysd in out
of curiosity. About 9:45 the deputy in
charge of the jury came in and announced
that the jury had agreed.
John L. Sloane. clerk of the court. was
then telephoned for. That a verdict had
been arrived at Vas soon known and q
number Of people came in, among them F.
G. Higgins, brother Of the murdered man.
The jury were brought in several minutes
before the arrival of the clerk. quarter
Of an hour OF waiting ensued.
Tie prisoner was apparently calm
and showed the Same remarkable self con-
troll that he has through the whole trial.
When the verdict was handed to the clerk
he notified the judge that il was signed
with lead pencil. The Judge requested
the foreman to sign it In ink and then the
clerk read the verdict, finding the prisoner
guilty of murder in the first degree.
There was not tho faintest quivsr of q
muscle on Burns facs. The lawyers for
the defense had each juror questioned az to
the verdict and the Judge fixed Tuesday.
Sept. 20 as the day for sentence. The
prisoner shook hands with his lawyers and
was then taken to his cell, but said nothing
to any one.

Poisoned snun.

An old New Yorker, who takes snuff
regularly, wrote to Sanitary Superin-
tendent Edison few days ago to COM
plain that some snuff which he had been
using had caused inflammatory symp-
toms which suggested poison. Dr. Ed
SON examined the sample of snuff which
was sent with the complaint and discov-
cred that chromate of lead, known in
the trade as chrome yellow, had been
mixed with the snuff to brighten it. He
next ascertained where the snuff was
manufactured in the city, and called on
the manufacturer for an explanation.
Subsequently the manufacturer de-
clared that he had used the poisonous
color in the snuff by mistake, supposing
that he was using harmless means of
improving the appearance of the article.
He promised to stop using chrome yell
low, and also consented to destroy some
of his stock which had been colored with
it.-New York Letter.
