HEARS THE VERDICT UNMOvED.
Barney Gibbons is Found Guilty of Murder
III the second ltegree.

Barney Gibbons tooy his accustomed
place in the court room yesterday
morning and every eye in the court
room was upon him wehen the jury
filed in and took their places.
The experts had all testified without
reservation that Barney Gibbons was in
sane and everybody wanted to see how
he would act in case the verdict was
guilty.
A reporter for the Eagle got posi-
ton where he had fine view of the
defendant. There was that same I'M
concern that has characterized Barney
Gibbons ever since his trial commenced.
There was nothing in his appearance
to indicate that he had the least inter-
est in the result.
When the twelve men filed into the
jury box TO deliver their opinion that
was Of such Importance TO Barney Glib
hons the only motion observed by him
was an opening and closing of the right
hand three or four times.
The jury was polled and Barney look
ed on apparently unconcerned in the
proceedings. The verdict was handed
over TO Clerk Bridgeman and there was
a silence like the grave when he read
I'VE the jury find the defendant guilty
of murder in the second degree" That
meant life sentence TO Barney Gibbons
Did he appreciate that fact? There
was not a particle of change in his
face. His eyes did not open wider nor
was there any change in his counte-
nance. He got up and followed the
deputy sheriff back 10 the Jail as uncon-
cernedly as if he were going to his din
ner.
Several Of the Jurors in the case
told a reporter for the Eagle that they
never took their eyes off Barney Glib
bons after they handed in their verdict
until it was read. They wanted 10 see
what would be the effect on him but
they all said there was not a particle of
change in Gibbons expression when
the verdict was read.
Since the verdict indicated that the
jury refused to believe that Barney was
insane there was a curiosity to know
how they came to find murder in the sec
ond degree.
Juror c. s. Caldwell said: 1--WE did
not consider Barney Gibbons proven in
sane / voted for the verdict because
1 did not think he had premeditated
and planned the killing"
Juror John Martin said: 1--WE did not
consider him insane but il was not
perfectly clear that Mrs. Gibbons had
died from her wounds and that was
why 1 voted for murder in the second
degree"

Of q gold standard to those who are
opposed to 9 gold standard. Is not this
hypocrisy? Does history show III that
the owners Of gold conduct their bust

away the dross of selishness and leaves
nothing but love and kindness? In
one breath the advocate Of a gold stand
ard will say that there is no debtor

tempt to ruin the masses by the fore
