velopments, ended to day at Q o'clock
with verdict OF murder in the se,ond
degree against all three of the defend
ants, Sheriff. Bell, Uriah Bell and w.
81. Brantley.
The hearing of the case consumed
three entire weeks, the finest legal
talent In the State being employed on
both sides, and revealed the existence
OF an organized band Of young bows.
called the Jesse James Club, formed for
the purpose of murder and robbery.
The defendants were leading members
OF this club and one OF them wae its
captain. y
All OF the defendants were sentenced
TO the penisentisry for thirty wears,
heing the extreme penalty Of the law

for the fact that the defend ants were all

been convicted OF murder in the first
degree. The judge In his sentence com
mended the jury for this act of mercy.

fourteen. The reports received by US
from both these states give encourage

probably carry both.

was intended that Bryan should be
cheated out of his rights Parades were
formed, and it was not until long after
midnight that the excitement was allayed
and the paraders were induced TO disperse.
