out since Saturday noon.
The jury stood six for acquittal and
six for conviction.
1t was generally believed that there
would be a conviction and the sentence
would be not less than five years and
mot more than ten years.
The evidence was all in at the ad-
6ournment Of court Thursday evening.
Friday and until noon Saturday was
consumed In argument.
The addresses to the jury were ex-

REPUBLICAN ECONOMY.
How the Salaries of shelbyviiIe ON.
ciaIs Were Advanced


Gals Were Advanced.
SHELBYVILLE. May 3O.-Special--At
the last election the republicans carried
the city. electing the entire ticket with
the exception of two councilmen. The
result was heralded all over the country
as a great victory for protection, when,
as a matter Of fact only local issues and
some slight disaffection as we'll as the
promises by republicans of economy In
the management of city affairs attracted
some of the weakened democrats.
Last night the republican councilmen
celebrated the victory. Notwithstanding
their oft repeated promises of economy
and reform and in the face of numbers
Of the factory hands being out OF EN-
ployment, they raised the salaries Of the
city officers, giving the mayor an ad-
vance of $3.50 and the city marshal 500
over what they received before. Their
action in thus breaking the ante-election
promises Of reform is being condemned
on all sides, by republicans well as
democrats
The republican city attorney is openly
accused of altering an ordinance after
its passage by the council and thus caus-
ing the city unnecessary expense in re-
publication.
His action has got the city into
serious muddle on the fire limits question
and il will probably have to be settled
in the courts. Shelbyville will find be-
fore the. next election that republicans in
city offices are expensive luxuries.
