GUILTY OF MURDER.
This IL the Verdict Rendered I'm the
Case of DR.. Edward Leon.

Shortly after o'clock last evening the
jury in the case of DIR. Edward Leon,
charged with the murder of the unnamed
infant Of Miss Estelle Z. Beach, on the
3lsr of last October, as the result OF an
abortion performed upon Miss Beach two
days previously, returned a verdict of gull
ty as indicted, and after counsel for the
convicted man had given notice of a mo-
ton for a new trial, the prisoner was re-
manded for sentence.
AS stated in The Stars report of the case
yesterday. counsel for the defense con-
cluded the closing argument for Leon at
2:2O yesterday afternoon, being followed
by District Attorney Birney. Mr.. Birney
spoke briefly, presenting the case for the
government in very impassionate but
exceedingly effective manner, impressing
the fact upon the jury that the question at
issue was whether Miss Beacn, young,
motherless girl. hardly more than a child.
told the truth. or whether DIR. Leon, whose
past reputation was far from good, and
whose life was at stake had lied on the wit
ness stand to save his neck.
Judge Cole. in a brief charge told the
Jury that the prisoner was not charged with
having procured an abortion, but with the
murder OF the babe. and explained that IL
the defendant had performed the abortion
knowing that the child was quick with life,
he was guilty as charged. The burden OF
proof was. stated the court, on the prosecu-
ton, ana while Miss Beach stood in the case
In the position of an accomplice, and her
testimony should have to be taken with
great caution. yet II the jury found that
she was corroborated by other witnesses
or by known facts in the case a conviction
could be founded upon her testimony
The jury retired at $50, and recess
was taken until 5 O'Clock, but the jury not
having agreed at that time further re-
cess was taken until 8. when the jury came
down, and, in answer to their inquiry, were
Informed that verdict could be based upon
the testimony of Miss Beach, provided the
jury found that her testimony was corrob-
GRATED. Again retiring the jury returned in
about fifteen minutes time with verdict
Of guilty of murder. The prisoner took the
verdict in an apparently Indifferent manner,
and after his counsel had given notice of a
motion for new trial was taken back TO
Jail to await the imposition Of the sentence
Of death. provided of course. the motion
for a new trial is overruled.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In this evenings issue. referring to an
authority for naval commanders to use
force to protect American citizens and their
interests. you seem to give the unnamed
commander the credit that belongs to Gen.
Henry r. Jackson of Savannah. Ca, who
was then our minister to Austria, and who
30 ably upheld the rights of Da Costa, an
applicant for American citizenship. 1t was
by order OF Gen. jackson (afterward minis
ter to Mexico during President Cleveland's 8
first term that the naval commander took
decisive steps. Gen. jackson Is still living.
