BOSS MxANE GUILTY.

The Poo Bah of Gravesend. Long Island.
Carried Things Little Too Ear. and
Now Prison Bars Confront Him-He
Has Defied the People and the Courts
for Years-His High-Handed Swelling
of the Voting Lists Exposed.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE jury in the
John Y. McKane case rendered ver-
dict of guilty"
Judge Raynor, whose attempt to OBJ
tain copies of the Gravesend registry
list, the Withholding of which was the
offense charged against McKane, was
on the bench in Justice Bartlett's
courtroom trying another case when
the jury came. He sent for Justice
Bartlett and the counsel in the Nc
Kane case. It was 1850 o'clock when
Sheriff Buttling brought in his pris-
oner. Lawyer Shepard was the only
one of the counsel for the prosecution
present. Lawyers Backus and Glen
denning represented McKane. The
jury stood and were polled by the
clerk. He then asked:
Gentlemen of the jury: Have you
agreed upon verdict"
Foreman David H. Sackett, replied:
''We have"
Gentlemen of the jury: what is
your verdict2"
''Guilty'
Instantly a hush fell upon the court
room and there was no sound for half
minute. Then the jury presented a
recommendation for mercy. Justice
Bartlett provided for contrary result
by warning the spectators against any
demonstration, but his warning was
unnecessary.
It was just 1855 o'clock when the
verdict was announced. McKane paled
a little, but took it very coolly. He
was then taken away by the sheriff.
Owing to the absence of ex-Judge Troy
and Lawyer Rodericlx, counsel for Nc
Kane, no motion for a new trial was
made, and court was adjourned until
Monday.
McKane's counsel will appeal the
case to the general term, and will
move for McKane's release on bail next
week.
The punishment provided by law is
not less than two years nor more than
ten.
The charge against McKane was that
under his direction the election in
spectors of the First district in
Gravesend, by intimidation, deprived
voters and citizens of their legal right
of access to the registry list, from Octo-
Der 80, 1898, to November Z, the day of
the election.
According to these lists, which were
produced in court, the voting popula-
ton of that election district had trebled
in three years, while the public records
show that in the past five years only
forty-seven pupils had been added to
the rolls of the public schools.
At the election, November Z, SGT
votes were cast. Of these 3,5O5 were
cast for McKane's candidates and 1872
against. The registry lists, kept from
public view prior to and on the day of
election, contained 6,4OO names, while
on the trial just closed it was shown
that the real number of voters in the
district was only 1,70O.
McKane has carried things politically
with a high hand in Gravesend. He
has openly defied the courts, and is
now in contempt of Judge Barnard's
court for refusing to obey an injunc-
ton issued on the day of the last eiec-
ton.
He has been law to himself in the
town, holding the position of super
visor, president of the town board,
board of health, water commissioners
board and board of public improve.

Louis Duestro,c, the Murdered Boy
but selling his 2-year-old son Louis,
who stood frightened at the tumu!t
amidst his playthings, the man rushed
wildly from the room calling out that
his wife would never see him nor the
child again.
Duestrow carried the boy madly
down and out into the kitchen. His
fendish anger must have grown be-
yond his control in this short interim.
He did not leave the house. When he
reached the door he turned back. He
perhaps can not now remember the
terrible thought which came into his
mind, but his acts tell only too well
what they were. To leave his wife
forever without her life protector or
her child was mot sufficient. His re-
venge on the innocent. defenseless
woman must be more complete.
THE FATAL SHOTS.
So he carried the baby back again
to tile mothers room. He placed him
again amidst his toys. What words
folio wed no one may ever know. The
Hahn girl. who had gone to her room
on ii e third floor. could hear again the
torrent of obscene abuse being heaped
upon the wifely head. More frightened
than ever by this fresh outburst the
girl etarted down the stairs to leave
the house.
Half way down to the landing she
heard a shot, scream, and then tbs
voice of Mrs Duestrow cried out In
agony: ''My God. Arthur, you have
shot n,el' Mad with fright as another
shot ,:ang out, the girl rushed down
the stairway aud looked toward the
end Of the hall. The door of the room
where the tragedy was taking place
was partly open. She could see Mrs.
Duestrow swaying to and fro with heI
bloody fingers pressed against the deli.
catelY-tinted walls to save her from a
fall. Then she saw her lurch forward
and tril1e the floor.
THE DEED OF A FIEND.
Dusstrow stood speeehless with his
revolver in his hand, while poor little
baby Louis, white as death, with hi.
chubby fingers clasping his toy Wagon
in his childish fright, stood watching
the monstrous father.
And then what terrible vision cam,
before the girls eyes She saw thi
father close upon his boy. too fright
ened now to cry. She saw him rails
him up and pirion his baby form
