GENTRY DECLARED GUILTY
Madss Yorke's Slayer Convicted Of Mur-
der in the First Degree.
COLLAPSE OF THE PRISONER
Had to Lean Upon a Railing for
Support.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 27.-The
jury in the case of James B. Gentry,
who, on February 18th, 1895, murdered
Actress Madge Yorke at Zeiss Hotel,
in, this city, came in at III. 05 O'Clock
this morning with verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree. When
the verdict was announced the prisoner
burst into tears, trembled and clutched
convulsiyely at the iron railing Of the
dock. Lawyer Brooke asked to have
the jury polled and each man answered
guilty in the first degree. !" Counsel
for the defence then asked that q day
be set to hear argument on a motion
for new trial and Judge Yerkes fixed
Thursday of next week.
The, jury retired last night at 9. 45
O'Clock, and, after three hours delib-
Grafton, during which they were unabley
to reach a conclusion, were locked up
for the night.
Court opened at 10. 20 o'clock this
morning, but at that hour the jury
had not yet reached a verdict. At
11.04 they filed into the court room.
followed Immediately by Gentry. His
eyes were red and swollen as IL from
weeping, and he appeared on the verge
OF breaking down. When the jury
arose to announce the verdict the pris-
oner also arose, but it was necessary
for him to lean upon the iron railing
for support. When the verdict was
announced he sank into his seat and
wept bitterly, never once taking his
face from his hands until he was led
from the court room. SS
The verdict was apparently surprise
to nearly every person in the court
room, As it was thought that second
degree verdict, which was asked for by
the defence, would cover the crime. n,

Bold scheme of Robbers in Southern
q " California. ff


~ California. @
+, Los Angeles, CAL, June 26. The
,boldest attempt at bank robbery ever
made on the Pacific coast has come to
light.
/ The object OF the attack was the
heavy steel vault of the First National
Bank, one Of the largest financial in
.stitutions in Southern California, and
ito reach it the robbers dug a tunnel
Jog feet in length, extending from a
street adjoining the First National and
cumming thence under the cellars of
three other banks. This tunnel had
progressed to point directly beneath
the vault when the police authorities
were apprised of its existence. When
the scheme was discovered the bur-
glars had begun to remove the brick
masonry supporting the steel vault.
The work Ia believed to have been
done by gang of at least five or six
persons, but only one suspect, James
X. Stephens, has been arrested.

kinley should be nominated and that
the st. Louis delegates only ratified
that will. He, too, made predictions

the next speaker on the programme,

Baird explained that his abseE ce was

Hon. e. q. Bradford considered the
occasion one for unmixed rejoicing apd
thought that since the convention
every patriotic citizen has stepped
upon the earth with firmer and more
elastic tread. He predicted the election
of Mckinley and Hobart. He took up
the money question and argued for the
gold standard, and said that we cannot
have two standards Of money any more
than a person can have two yard sticks
of different lengths. He predicted that
in the event Of the success of the Re-
publican party the advancement Of
America will dazzle the eyes OF people
in other countries. He could see
nothing but SUCCESS ahead of the Re-
publican party.
William s. Hilles, William Michael
Byrne, j. P. Nields, and Hugh O.
Browne made addresses urging the
