stantly wheeled about in his chair and
gazed anxiously at each juror, His face,
naturally very forid, assumed a deeper
hue, and intense emotion was depicted
thereon.
The clerk asked; Gentlemen, have you
agreed upon a verdict"
1--WE find the defendant guilty, with a
recommendation to mercy"
II am sorry, very sorry" faltered Fore
man Murray, looking at Mr.. Wiman in a
dazed sort of way.
Mr.. Boardman then asked for a stay of
sentence. Judge Ingraham readily gave
the request and named Wednesday next
at 10 o'clock as the time for sentence un-
less Wiman's counsel shall secure further
stay.
Mr.. Wiman received the verdict with
less emotion than it was supposed he
would. Before leaving the court room he
| shook hands with his counsel and rs
many of his friends as could gather
| around him. He waved the reporters off
with a sad smile He was accompanied
} to the Tombs by his two sons. Contrary
| to the usual custom the prisoners coun-
sci did not ask for the release of their
client on bail.
Seven ballots were taken by the jury.
| On the first ballot this was the record:
For conviction, Z; not guilty, 81 doubtful,
g. In the succeeding six ballots the
changes were made so that the position of
the jury was brought to II to l on the last
ballot the one objecting juror coming to
the side of the eleven others upon the
! agreement that mercy should be recon-
mended for Mr.. Wiman. The jury was
| thus made unanimous.

LONDON, June l6-The house of lords
yesterday, by vote of f29 to 1870, rejected
the second reading of the SO long dis
cussed and frequently fought over de-
ceased wifes sister marriage bill. In ls47
a royal commission was appointed to ex-
anime the marriage laws, and from ls49
up to the present day attempts have been
made, both in the lords and in the COM
mons, TO carry the bill making marriages
with a deceased wife's sister legal, but
these attempts have always failed. In
more recent years the commons have car
ried the bill but a large majority has
thrown it out in the lords.

braccd him in the middle of high note.
He was so furious that he tried to throw
her into the orchestra. She held tightly
to him to save herself, no shouting to her to
let go the while, until her grip wrenched
all the buttons off his red waistcoat Ra-
velli rushed to the footlights, and shout
ed, Look, she has torn my waistcoatl"
Tho audience thought it was all acting,
and responded with thundcrs of applause.
After this scene, Minnie Hauk's husband
stood ut tho wings every night, armed
with revolver, ready to blow out Don

illustrative of this fact. Colonel Hay once
had occasion to write to Mr. Buchanan
Wishing to be very correct and civil,
asked Mr.. Hunter, as the depository of all

SAVED FROM lYNcHERS.
Narrow Eso.pe Of brute Who Confesses
Terrible Crimea

Terrible Grimes.
FARGO, N. d., Nov ION. J. Villars was
brought to the Cass county jail yesterday
by Sheriff Eddy, Of Stutsman county. The
sheriff left Jamestown with his prisoner
Just In advance Of m9b which was on its
way to take him from Jail and lynch him.
Villars confessed to the horrible crime
with which he is charged. Tuesday even
ing he went to the farm of Mrs. Fromer,
In Montpelier township, Stutsman county.
Mrs. Fromer saw him at the barn and
went out. When she approached Villars
knocked her down with club and beat
her into insensibility. He dragged her into
the barn and assaulted her, then threw her
into the well in the barn, set the barn on
fire and left. 49,.
The barn burned to the ground, but
Mrs. Fromer escaped death in the well.
Toward morning she managed to climb
out of the well and got to the house. TAX
ing her children with her, she crawled on
her hands and knees to neighbours, two
miles away, and died after telling her
story,
Villars was captured at Valley City and
taken to jamestown by Sheriff Strenshoel.
He is one Of the Oldest farmers in Suits
man county, and has highly respectable
family. A large mob gathered at Mont
pelier and started for jamestown to lynch
him, but Sheriff Eddy heard of their COM
ing In time to escape. Villars then con-
fessed another crime. A month ago Mrs.
Fromer's husband disappeared mysteri.
ously. Villars says he killed Fromer and
that his body will be found buried in q
pile of manure back of the barn.
