| his marvellous nerve had not forsaker
him. There was only a tighter clasp OF
his hands folded behind him. Then he
| slowly sat down, and at the request OF
his counsel the jury was polled. AS
| each name was called Holmes wrote II
on the margin of a newspaper in his
hand, and the fingers holding the pencil
never shook. The verdict was formally
recorded by the court. The motion for
new trial was made, and after Judge
Arnold had spoken a word of regret to
counsel for the defense because of last
Mondays occurrence, when they with
drew from the case, and appreciation
for their arduous but fruitless labor,
Holmes was taken to his cell room. A
few minutes later the jury were
thanked for their attention and labors
and sent home, the court adjourned,
and the most extraordinary case in the
annals Of American courts was ended.
EVENTS OF THE LAST DAY.
When he came to the testimony of
Mrs. Pietzel, he told the jury that never
in his official experience had he heard
such tale as that told in the broken
sentences of that despairing, hopeless
place to place in the vain hope of meet
ing her husband. and all the while he
was carrying with him three separate
observation-disclosures. Pietzel, Miss Yorke
and the chlldren-an within four blocks
of each other, almost travelling together
under Holmes leading strings, and yet
each party ignorant Of the presence of
the other two.
IN Nv vol ~ M h
sired the jury to consider only the evil
dence connected with the murder of
Pietzel in the CalloWhill street house
and nothing else.
When court opened today at 10
o'clock for arguments in the Holmes
case, Mr.. Rotan, junior counsel for the
defense, announced that his colleague,
Shoemaker, was suffering from COM
plete nervous prOStratiOn and was I'M
der the care of a physician. He called
this to the attention Of the court in
view Of the point of law regarding the
right to make the
closing address to the jury when the de-
Tense presented no evidence. Graham
ended the question by offering to waive
his right to the last speech, and there
will be but one address on each side,
instead of two by the prosecution. Dis
trict Attorney Graham began his ad-
dress at 1855 o'clock. He said: The
commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the
prosecutor of this case and it asks
no victim. If you are satisfied, when
we have done, that this prisoner did not
commit the crime, you must acquit him.
The commonwealth is bound to prove
its case from the initial step down to
the last syllable of the sentence. The
commonwealth has done SO. One by
one we established link by link, MAX
ing the chain complete"
The district attorney reviewed the
evidence in detail. The condition of
the body, he contended, medical testi-
mony had proved could not be produc-
ed except by chlorOform.
Grahams address, which was con-
fined for the most part to review OF
the details of evidence, lasted two
hours and a half. Holmes nerVouSly
shifted in his seat as the thunderous
tones of the prosecutor rang out. AT
the conclusion of his address a recess
was taken until 2:30 p. m.
The defense then spoke until o:5O,

A Wnuld-Be RObber Shot.

Mr.. Frank Tilford, of the firm of I'll
ford & Maynard, brokers, of Winches-
ter, shot and wounded a man who was
trying to rob him at Berryville on
Tuesday night of last week. Mr. Til
ford had been called to Berryville by
the illness of his wife, who is spending
the summer with her mother, Mrs.
Lewis, near Berryville. He had spent
the evening with Mrs. Tilford and her
mother and late at night drove to the
Berryville railroad station to take a
train for Washington, which passes
there about two o'clock in the morn
ing. While there three men appeared
and demanded his money. Mr.. Tilford
fired a revolver at the would-be rob-
Der and the three fed. He later found
his assailant behind a stone wall un-
conscious. Just then the train arrived
and the conductor FASTENED to Mr..
Tilford' assistance. Itwas impossible
to delay the train and as Mr.. Tilford
had to 60 to Washington he did not
pursue his Investigations any farther.
On Thursday morning Mr.. Tilford re-
turned to Berryville and surrendered
himself to the authorities. There was
no charge, however, against him, as the
wounded man had gotten away.
TuesdayMr. Tilford received a letter
from Berryville informing him that a
colored man had been found in the
woods, about ten miles from the town,
suffering with pistol.shOt wound in
the abdomen. The man is believed to
be the negro who attempted to rob Mr..
Tilford.

The C. & o. Canal Offered for Sale.

The Maryland Board Of Public
Works has advertised for bids for the
sale of the State interest in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal. Sealed pro-
posals will be received up until Octo-
Der II, 1895. Every bid must be ac-
companied by bond in the sum of
100000, and the terms Of sale will
be cash. The board is empowered
either to sell the state holdings, should
a satisfactory bid be received, or may
reject any and all bids. In the latter
case, the value Of the property will be
determined by the proposals, and the
next legislature will have some prac-
teal basis upon which to work in de-
Gliding question which has caused an
immense amount of trouble for many
years.
This is supposed to be another effort
on the part of the West Virginia Central
Railroad to get possession Of the water
way from Cumberland to Georgetown,
for the purpose of converting it into
railroad by which to reach tide water.
This will give the road an opportunity
to compete with the Baltimore and
Ohio for the coal traffic of Maryland
and West Virginia. The States in
terest, in addition to several loans ad-
vanced and the unpaid interest,
amounts to $3O,OOO,0OO The action
of the board of public works is due to
the failure of a commission appointed
through an act of the Legislature of
1892 to investigate the facilities Of the
canal, and suggest the advisability Of
selling, failing to report in satlsfac-
tory manner.

was cut and a painful wound was also
inflicted by a hairpin which penetrated
her scalp. One of her wrists and her
shoulder were sprained, and she was

question as to their identity, but war
rants have been sworn out for the sus-
pected parties and they will be arrest

The little old colored man known as
Hesse's Lewis, who has been a queer
but familiar figure in this place for a
half century or more, died Monday
near Scrabble, where he made his
home with Messrs. Robert and Thomas
Turner. During slave times Lewis
belonged to the Hesse family. He
was not of sound mind, and has af-
forded amusement for couple of gen
erations of Shepherdstown boys. One
of his fads was to always possess a
mouth organ, and he seldom came to
town that he did not buy new one.
He was never known to play tune,
but he patiently and happily blew on
and on as long as sound could be
drawn out Of late years his visits to
town have been few, but he usually
managed to come in during the holi-
days. He was buried from the colored
Methodist Church yesterday.
Rev. Samuel Griffith, colored Meth
odist minister, of Alexandria, Va,
died in that place last Sunday, aged
about so years. He was pastor Of the
colored church in Shepherdstown a
number of years ago, and also taught
school here. His wife was Annie Wash
ington, daughter of Amanda Frame.
