All Night Session of the Jury Resulted In q
Verdict OF Guilty.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE. Ind. April 5.-Bartholomew
Murphy. who participated in the opera
house riot. has been found guilty of shoot
ing with In tent to murder ex-Priest Ru-
dolph. and given the very light sentence
of two years in the penitentiary. to which
is added a fine of $1,000. The verdict was
turned into court at 9 O'Clock this morning.
The long fight in the jury room was on the
question OF the term of Imprisonment. The
first ballot, it is said. stood ten to two for
conviction. but on the second ballot taken
right after, all twelve voted him guilty.
This was agreed to early Tuesday night.
All night the Imprisonment question was
debated, there being an obstreperousj juror
who was holding out for the lowest sem
tence-twoy years. At 6 o'clock a conclusion
was arrived at. the others being forced to
come to the twO-year man. Several OF the
jurors thought Murphy's Offense was more
serious than n mere charge of the larceny
OF a horse, for the riot had not only broken
the laws. but il had endangered the lives
OF hundreds OF men, women and children.
he deserved. The verdict was the
theme of conversation on the streets
all day. The Catholic element OF
the city was surprised, of course.
while the A. P. A. element was corre-
%spondingly elated, though this exultat,on
did not partake of any Outbursts. The
opinion of the sober. thinking masses is
that the Law has been indicated; that the
right of peaceful assemblaGe aud freedom
of speech has been proclaimed. and q warn
ing held MP to those who may have been
impressed with the belief that because Ru-
dolph was SAYING something that they did
not approve they had a right to break mp
his meeting. even to the extent of shooting
and creating a riot.
There is still pending against Murphy an
indictment charging him with cOnspiring
to commit a felony, and an indictment for
riot and for disturbing q public meeting.
A motion for O new trial was entered for
the defense. and Murphy's bond was in.
creased to SO. SOC. which he promptly gave.

The Suitan's Steam launch Sunk by An
other vessel-Rumors Of n Conspiracy.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 6.-The Sultan's
steam aunch b as been sunk by q collision
with another steamer. Rumors are rife
of . plot against the Sultsn's life.
The Sultan has gone TO the Kiosk of the
Old Sergio to worship the mantle of Mo-
hanmed and other relics. After his devo.
tions he ate his evening meal and left by q
land route for the Yildiz Kiosk. The plate
used ct his meal was placed on the steam
launcn which was TO carry to the palace
forty or more persons of the imperial
household. The launch coliided with the
steamer Immediately after leaving her
moorings. 1t Is said. The steamer cut
the launch almost in two. and the launch
went to the bottom. Few OF the passen-
gers wers saved. The Sultan has com-
mandeO that provision be made from his
civil list for the families of those who
were drowned.
The censors are suppressing all reports
OF, the disaster and journals printing
stories of the calamity have been seized
by the authorities. An trade has been
issued. prohibiting newspapers from
being published before the afternoon. pre-
sumably in order TO enable the cens0rs
to enjoy their morning "snooze" before
having to undertake the task of examining
the proposed issues. The publication of the
fact of the accident caused a sensation
among the populace. and greatly Incensed
the Sultan. His Majesty was further an
noyed on account of an accident to Hariki
Pasha. The horses attached to the carriage
conveying him ran away, and Hariki
jumped from the carriage and was killed.
