OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,l
90S Broadway, Dec. 81.
After being out all night the jury who
heard the evidence in the trial of Louis
Muhlner for the killing of Jennie Lewis
| brought in verdict of manslaughter this
morning. At 1 80 o'clock this morning the
| Jurors came into court and asked for fur
Their instructions regarding the degree of
murder.
During their stay in the courtroom
| Foreman Bradford stated that they found
| lawbook in the jury-room and tried to
| find out for themselves something about
| the law.
Judge Prick then reminded the jury that
| they were not to try to construe law for
themselves. His Honor told the jury that
the law was very remarkable thing, and
that much of it might be read one way by
| one man and another way by another
man.
'You ere bound to take the law from the
court" said Judge Prick, land because 1
| permitted you to retire into my comforta-
BILE chambers instead of the somewhat
cherries jury-room, l did not mean that
you we're to hunt among the lawbooks for
| information. In the hands of people not
read in the law lawbook is very dan
gerous thing"
As no verdict was brought in at A. NJ.
the jury were locked up for the night.
This morning they returned verdict of
manslaughter. When the first ballot was
taken the jury stood six for murder and
six for acquittal. Gradually they switched
around until they all agreed on man.
slaughter.
The trial occupied TWENTY-FIVE days and
aroused a great deal of interest. Jennie
| Lewis, the girl who was shot, was found
dead at Professor Moore's residence last
August few minutes after she had been
heard talking to Muhlner, who called on
| her to get some presents returned, as their
engagement had been Cancelled. Muhl-
ner surrendered himself to the police in
| San Francisco next morning, declaring
his innocence and saying that he gave
| himself up because he saw by the morning
papers that he was suspected of the MUIR
der. The evidence was purely circum-
stantial and the chief witness, Miss Spar
hawk was not able to say whether the
man she saw leaving the premises after
| she heard the shots was Muhlner or
young fellow named Miller, another of
Jennie Lewis lovers.
The trial threw considerable light on the
doings of hundreds OF young people who
make practice of attending all-night
! halls. Most of the witnesses were saloon
keepers, amateur detectives and girls, and
| there were some very contradictory state
ments made.
Attorney Nagle made motion for new
! trial and sentence was postponed till Janu-
airy 4, at which time the motion will be ar
gued.

at National Rifles Hall. which was very
enjoyable. Although the audience was
small. it made up in enthusiasm, and ap-
plauded every number to the echo. The
show was on the variety order, and some
very good turns were put on by the friends
and admirers of Mr.. Graham. The Del
Ray Brothers, in acrobatic feats. ana How
ard and Leigh, in contortion act, and
Hale. the club swinger of Baltimore, all re-
ceived enthusiastic applause. OF course,
the feature was George Graham himself,
and he was obliged to come out again and
again and acknowledge the appreciation
which his friends showed of his work. A
number of others took part in the perform
ance with credit.
