Bateman Murder Trial.

From Mondays Daily
Bateman Murder Trial.
The Bateman murder trial, which
has occupied the time of the court
for the past week, came to a close
last Saturday, and the jury return
ed a verdict of murder in the second
degree There had been much
speculation among those who had
been in attendance and heard the
evidence, and in view of the afro
city of the crime, the verdict of the
jury was commented upon in very
indignant terms. The case was
contested by an able array of legal
talent on both sides, and some bit
ter invectives were INDUCED in by
the attorneys in summing up the
lea scripta bearing upon the proba
BILE faulty of the accused as set up
by the attorneys for the defense
That the public is disappointed is
palpable from the expressions heard
upon the streets and elsewhere.
The penalty for second degree
murder is not less than five nor
more than eighteen years in the
penitentiary. Judge Guthrie re
served his decision until this morn
ing, and the sentence had not been
passed upon at the hour of going to
press.
1t is reported that when the jury
retired in the Bateman murder trial
the first ballot stood IL for murder
in the first degree and one for muir
der in the second degree, but after
returning to be further instructed
by the Judge a second degree YER
dict was rendered.
The case of the State VS.. James
Barnett, on an Indictment for shoot
ing with intent to kill, will be called
in court today.
