HEATH MURDER TRIAL,
The Case Goes to the Jury-No Agree
ment Yet Reached

ment Yet Reached.
FRESNO, July 2O.-This morning at
O'Clock Judge Holmes began reading the
instructions to the jury in the Heath case.
He instructed them that circumstantial
evidence is as good as direct evidence
when it is perfect and no links are miss
ing. But all the circumstances must har-
monte with the theory of guilt and be in
dlscord with the theory of innocence. If
Heath was on McWhirter's premises
when the murder was committed, he
must be found guilty whether he fired
the fatal shot or not The verdict may be
murder in the first degree, second degree,
manslaughter or acquittal.
The case was given to the jury at $50
o'clock.
A large crowd of people remained in
front of the jury-room all the forenoon
waiting TO hear the result. The Sheriff
cleared them away once or twice. but
they did not go far. After noon they
came back.
At ll:45 P. NJ. the jury had not been
heard from in any way except in orders
for meals, and they were locked up for
the night.

n wild cheer went up from the patriot
threats, and the union jack was sup
planted by the star-spangled banner.
In the last sortie made by the Ameri-
can troops the gunners had joined,
leaving their pieces loaded but unat-
tended.
Beppo had been an excited witness
OF the fight. The roar of the guns and
the smell of burnt powder had set the
half-witted Italian wild. All he real
lied was that Big Don was fighting
those inside the barricade, and he
wanted TO do something. 1t was all
real to him, and with crazy cunning he
cast about for some means TO act eff
fectively. He was not noticed in the
general excitement and he saw his op.
portunity. Picking up large stone he
forced IT into the cannon, and quickly
touched match to the fuse.

miser's secret hiding place was re-
vealed. Don Waldron's fortune was
found.
And Beppo? Poor fellow. He had
not realized what he was doing; but
he paid severe penalty. The old
gun, not used TO such charge, had
burst and the Italian boy was found
fifty feet away, bleeding, inanimate
mass.
After Beppo's funeral Don Waldron

When Donald had reached the age of
twcnty-one. by the advice of his friends
he went TO the old man to beg. or il
need be demand, his rights. The inter
view was a stormy one; the father flew
into an almost ungovernable passion at
the demand for money. Donald's mis-
sion was entirely unsuccessful and had
proved SO painful that he determined
never TO try it again. That was in
fact the last time Donald ever saw his
father alive. Four months after the
visit, the people in the neighborhood
of the old farmhouse began to talk of
not having seen old Roger waldron
for some days, and at last
it was decided 10 scale the barricade
and investigate. They found the old
man dead on the floor. He had evil

had died there in the very loneliness
he had cncompassed about himself
The most dlligent search was made

pieces, but without result. Donald

two young men who should reach the

with the same girl. They each knew
of the others feeling yet was there no

was that each believed himself the

feeling of pity for the other
Lima Fulton was assurcdly a maiden

Petite in figure, lovely in face and
character, she was n favorite not only
with all her male but her girl friends
as well, and no one for a moment
thought of attempting TO depose her
as the reigning belle of Beverley. Her
father had been one of the first to come
and accept old Roger Waldron's offer
of site, and the foundry he had built
in Beverley had made him n rich man.
Besides his love and his lost money
Donald Waldron had another care on
his mind. This was Beppo. Beppo
was humpbacked, half-witted Italian
lad Donald had taken care of at criti-
cal moment. He had come to Beverley
with an organ grinder. The man had
suddenly died and had been buried by
the town. Donald cared for the lad
out of pity, and then found it difficult
TO dispose of him. At last he con-
tinued to provide for him, and the poor

There was plainly apparent huski-
ness in Donald Waldron's voice as he
uttered the last words. All present
recognized it and fully sympathized
with the young man, but the patriotism
the coming event inspired and the
speech and offer he had just made
wrought them up 70 high pitch of ex-
citement, and they cheered and APP
plauded vociferously.
The arrangem ents were soon com
pleted. Elton MerriclS was chosen for
CORVALLIS and Archie Hartley TO rep
resent Gen. Rochambeau. commandant
of the French allies. A lottery plan
was adopted to divide the men into
British or Americans, and it created
much amusement TO see the grimaces
of those who were fatcd TO become red
coats.
Donald Naldron was an orphan. His
father, like all the Waldrons before
him, had been simply known as Farmer
Naldron, and their farm was the site
whcreon the city of Beverley was built
The predecessors of Donald's father
had ever been content as farmers, sat
ished to win good living from the
soil and rear families up TO honest and
virtuous man and womanhood. But
the fever of speculation seized old
Roger Waldron. He had an am
bition to grow rich, and the slow
methods of his forefathers were not at
all to his liking. When Don was but a
lad in waistcoat and knee brooches
his father conceived the idea of having
a town grow upon his land in the place
of corn and wheat. His sapacitv
showed him that the place was simply
ideal for that purpose. He subdivided
his acreage and gave literally to men
