generally believed to be a inst one
and the one which the evidence in tbe
case called for. While there are MANY
expressions Of sympathy to be heard
for Moody they are nearly always fol-
lowed by the expression, 'sof course he

get verdict of murder in the second
degree" Viewed in any light the
crime for which E. L. Moody has lust

able. There could be no tenab1e
grounds of defense of his act from
moral standpoint and it is undoubted-

Murder in the First Degree.

The caption of this item was the ver-
dict which the jury rendered, on last
Thursday evening in the trial of E. L.
Moody on the charge of numbering
Mrs. Bum.
The trial lasted from Tuesday morn
ing, October 9th, to the hour of ten
O'Clock in the evening of October 18th
and was the best conducted case, on
both sides, which has ever come before
the court of this county. Geo.. D.
Scofe1d. the attorney for Moody, made
hard and able fight for his client,
taking advantage of every point which
would in any wise tend to the interest
of the defendant. On the other hand
the prosecution by prosecuting at
torney Bridges was mastery effort
and left no ground for criticism. Mr..
Bridges has had charge of the case
from the first and has looked up the
evidence, arranged the case, and con-
Quoted it throughout. During the
trial W., Agnew, of Olympia, was with
him, having been employed by J. B..
Forbes, father of Mrs. Bum, to assist,
but every step of the prosecution was
under the personal direction of Mr..

Sco6eld and Mr.. Bridges were the fin

the ballot will appear the party designations in
the following order: Republican ticket, Demo

ticket, National ticket. A cross in the square
following either of these titles means straight
vote, one for every candidate of that persuasion
on the ballot The form herewith will give you
