The Jury in the Case of Scott Jackson,
Who Was Tried on the Charge of
Killing Pearl Bryan, Brings in a
Verdict of Murder in the First
Degree, With the Death Penalty.

DECATUR Gn), May 14.-The Buff
falo Bank at Buffalo, twenty miles west
of here, was robbed of $11 900 in cash
at noon to-day by two strangers, of
whom the Cashier has been able to fur
nish only an imperfect clue.
AT that hour Cashier Huffbarger was
alone in the bank, and there was no
one in the immediate vicinity on the
streets. Two men entered briskly, as if
on business, and one stepped up to the
Cashiers window, while the other
walked toward the end of the counter.
The Cashier arose to wait on the sup
posed customer, and partially leaned
over the counter. He was seized by
the throat without a word, and in an
other instant the robber had got be-
hind the counter and grabbed him from
behind.
The Cashier was then bound hand
and foot and a gag thrust into his
mouth. The money on the counter was
shoveled into a gripsack, and the vault
was entered and all the currency taken
TrOm 1t. The Cashier had been rolled
under the counter, and was discovered
there half an hour later by customer
OF the bank
No one had seen the thieves enter nor
leave the bank. and it is not known pos
itively how they got out of the town.
but the supposition is that they drove to
Decatur.
There was not a word spoken during
the entire transaction. The bank is a
private institution.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-To-day
Beard of Trade was formally opened to
the public.
1t has in reality been free to the in
spection of all who chose to visit it for
some weeks past, but it was felt proper,
nevertheless, when everything apper-
tanning to it had finally been thorough
ly put in shape that something special
should be done to once more call the
attention of the public to what the
State Board was doing to exploit the
natural wealth and resources of the
State.
Therefore the exercises of to-day were
determined on, and it was deemed wise,
also, to do whatever might be necessary
to give the occasion as much of festi-
val character as possible
AT II O'Clock this morning the doors
were formally thrown open, and in a
very few moments quite a throng of
visitors had assembled within the
rooms.
Those present were by no means con-
fined to local residents, for invitations
had been sent to County Supervisors
and other prominent citizens through
out the State, and quite a number of
those invited had made it convenient to
attend.
With them, however, as a matter of
course, were many local residents and
business men, and, further than this,
not few from other States who hap
pened to be temporarily in the city.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
President Cleveland Strongly in Favor
of the Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, May 14-At the re-
cent National Conference on Interna-
tlonal Arbitration a committee was
appointed to present to the President
a memorial embodying the preamble
and resolutions adopted by the confer
ence. The members of the committee
were Hon. George F. Edmunds of Ver-
mont, Hon. j. NJ. Curry of the District
OF Columbia, j. B. Angel, President of
the University of Michigan; Judge
Hotchick of st. Louis and Gardiner CT.
Hubbard of the District of Columbia
The committee discharged its duty
to-day, being received by President
Cleveland in his private office. The in
terview was altogether pleasant and
satisfactory. The President told the
members of the committee that he was
thoroughly and strongly committed to
the doctrine of arbitration for the set
tlement of international disputes, and
had so expressed himself in his com
municationS to Congress prior to the
Venezuelan troubles. He said he had
read the resolutions now presented to
him when they were adopted by the
conference and highly approved them.
He had noted with pleasure and sur
prise the high character of the repre-
sentatiVes from more than forty States
who had assembled here of their own
accord to give voice to their convic-
tions on the subject. He promised to
be ready officially to utilize all the
proper occasions for the accomplish
ment of the purpose of the conference,
which, he added, will have to be done
through an international treaty.

DEATH PENALTY.
Verdict of the Jury in the Case of
Scott Jackson.

CINCINNATI, May 14.-"Guilty of
murder and penalty death are the
terrible words ringing in Scott Jack
sons ears as he PAGES the floor of his
dark and lonely cell tonight
1t took the jury just two hours and
eleven minutes to reach a conclusion.
1t was 12.04 o'clock as they filed into
the crowed courtroom at Newport, KY.
Foreman Shea bearing the fatal slip
upon which was written Scott Jackson's
doom. A death-like silence prevailed
as Clerk Russell received the verdict
and read in measured, solemn tones:
I'VE the jury find the defendant, Scott
Jackson, guilty of the murder of Pearl
Bryan, and fix the punishment at
DEATH
Despite the stringent instructions of
the Judge to the contrary, there was a
murmur of approval in the room and a
few even applauded by clapping their
hands. The prisoner sat motionless,
his eyes fixed on a table before him.
There was not the slightest visible
trace of emotion in any feature as he
walked from the courtroom to his cell
with firm and even step. Neither
Mrs. Bryan nor Mrs. Jackson were in
the courtroom.
When court recOnVened for the after
noon session Attorney Crawford moved
an arrest of judgment on the ground
that the indictment did not state
whether Jackson was guilty as personal
or accessory. This the court over
ruled. Crawford then moved that
new trial be granted the prisoner. The
motion sets up eight grounds of error
in the proceedings. Judge Helm fixed
on the motion If a new trial is not
granted the case will go to the Court of
Appeals.
The prisoners mother is completely
proStrated over the verdict, while the
murdered girls family express gratifi-
cation over the verdict.
Jackson shows signs of weakening to-
night and says the verdict is a great
disappointment to him.

For time the visitors were allowed
to wander at will through the rooms,
inspecting the various beautiful dis
plays, while at the same time an or
chestra furnished by Charles Casassa
discoursed, from tastefully screened
recess, number of choice popular airs.
1t was not until 1870 o'clock that the
formal exercises began.
just previous to that time Secretary
Morton of the Department Of Agricult-
ure, arrived in company with his old
friend, Colonel John P. Irish. his ap-
pearance in the throng causing quite a
decided manifestation of interest.
AT the hour named j. A. Filcher, Sec
retary of the State Board of Trade and
manager of the exhibit, called the as
semblage to order, and made few re-
marks, in which he touched briefly on
the purposes for which the public ex-
hibit is maintained In closing he in
troduced General n. P. Chapman, Presi-
dent of the State Board.
General Chipnan also made his ad-
dress brief one, but took occasion to
refer in enthusiastic terms to the great
results which had already accrued from
the earnest and united efforts of the
various counties of the State to adver-
tise its magnificent resources and capa-
bilities abroad In giving their support
tc the State Board and its permanent
exhibition they were, he said showing
combination of zeal and good judg-
ment for which it was difficult to COM
mend them too highly.
In closing his remarks President
Chipman said he would now call on
Colonel John p. Irish to introduce the
Secretary of Agriculture, Hon. ]. Ster-
ling Morton.
The task assigned Colonel Irish was
evidently one which he found a labor
OF love. He warmly eulogized the dis
tinguished guest of the occasion, de-
claring that his knowledge of his ster-
ling qualities of mind and heart were
gained through a lifelong friendship,
and when he ended what he had to say
and gave place to the Secretary him.
self, the burst of applause which broke
forth was cordial and enthusiastic.
Secretary Morton apparently took
his cue, to a certain extent, from those
VINO had preceded him, and did not
speak al any great length. What he
said, however, was very much to the

Session at Ukiah.

UKIAH (CaL), May 1.-THE Forest
ers' High Court convened this morn
ing at 8 o'clock. Owing to the amount
Of business it probably cannot get
through before Friday evening. Quite
a contention has arisen as to whether
a two-thirds vote or a majority vote
should carry amendments to the Con-
stitution, and this, together with the
contest for the High Chief Ranger, is
creating little excitement
The question as to amendments will
be settled to-day, and the elections for
officers come up tomorrow The
chances of DR.. Cases election for High
Chief look very favorable, but the San
Francisco and Oakland delegations are
bitterly opposed to him. The other
offices will probably not be contested
A grand ball was given the delegates
and visiting Foresters this evening by
the citizens and Foresters of Ukiah, and
everything is being done to make this
session of the High Court the best that
has taken place for years.
