Emily Chambers.

Providence, II. l.. Feb 5.-The jury
in the keegan case returned its verdict
at $50 o'clock this morning. finding
the prisoner guilty of the murder Of
Emily Chambers. The prisoner, who
was very pale when brought up from
the cell room, tottered for an instant
and with a sigh sat down. His coun-
sci gave notice of an application FOR a
new trial, and the Judge deferred SEN
fenced for seven days. He still claims
that Keegan's conviction under a new
trial would be certain, as the state has
discovered two witnesses who would
settle the case for once and all.
The Chambers murder was one of the
most mysterious cases that has ever
occurred in this state. on the after
noon of Sept. 2S 1894, a North Scituate
farmer found the mutiated body of u
woman lying in the bushes a few feet
from the road, near the old bank vii
age. The woman had been dead for
some hours and for many days she re-
mained unidentified. At last, however.
the remains were recognized as those of
Emily Chambers. 1t was soon discov-
cred that she had hired carriage on
Sept. q, and had driven through
Oneyville and out the Hartford pike,
accompanied by man. Those who
saw the mau gave an accurate descrip-
tion of his peculiar features. and as
they Tailed with the story told by
