The verdict of the jury was heard by
possibly 100 men yesterday morning.
Ihey had been hanging around the court
mouse all the morning waiting for the
verdict, and when it became noised
around that the jury was ready they
soon hled into the court room. There
they found the prisoner seated in his
accustomed place and the jury in the
box. The stiffness of the ten minutes
wait, from the arrival of the jury and
the arrival of the defendants ATTORNEYS.
was something awe inspiring. Scarcely
word was said by any one, and all
were under extra heavy pressure of ex-
element during the wait. The prisoner
even shuffled his feet slightly once or
twice during the awful wait. He looked
quiet, however, at all times and walked
as quietly back to the Jail as he ever
did in his life. His nerve was something
remarkable. The fact that he recognized
several parties after he went back into
the Jail and asked the writer to send him
some papers and one or two other things
60 to show for themselves, in the light
of claims set forth and his conduct in
the past few days, that he is a man of
wonderful nerve and nothing else, is
proven. He has so much nerve that even
should he 60 to the gallows he will never
weaken into telling the particulars of his
crime. If he tells of the crime it will
simply be because he wants to do so
He can never be forced by fear or re-
morse to tell the story of that nights

and asked if they had any trouble in

that they had absolutely none. That
upon adjourning from the jury box on
Thursday night that they had secured
their suppers and then retired to the jury
room. Once there they made themselves
as comfortable as possible and read over
very carefully the charge that Judge
Brooks had given them. After some
discussion, which lasted until past MD
night, the jurymen all went to bed with
out casting any vote on the important
subject under discussion. Yesterday
morning after eating breakfast, they re-
turned to the. jury room and read the
charge over second time They then
discussed the matter again and finally
voted on the verdict. There was not a
dissenting voice in the entire jury as to (,
the death penalty, and as they were all
of one mind, no arguments had to be
made and accordingly the jury sent down
word that they were ready.
