DUES7R0W GUILTY.
The Jury in the Millionaire's Case
Soon Make Up Their Minds.
The INSANITY PLEA DID NOT WORK.


UNION, Mo-, Feb 3.-The celebrated
case Of DR.. Arthur Duestrow, the St
Louis millionaire who has been on
trial during the past month for the
cold-blooded murder Of his wife and
baby boy two years ago, ended yester.
day, the jury returning verdict Of
guilty in the first degree. After argu-
ments that took up the greater part Of
Saturday and lasted until almost mid.
night, the case was given to the jury,
the members Of which went to rest
without conslderingit. Sunday morn
ing the jury took up the case and on
the first ballot unanimously found the
defendant guilty Of murder in the first
degree. The result was reached with.
out much trouble, each member Of the
jury seemingly having settled the case
in his own mind in the interval be-
tween midnight and morning. This
verdict is received with almost uni.
versal satisfaction.
This is the second trial that Dr.
Duestrow has had on the charge Of
murder, the first one resulting In
hung jury last year. The terrible
crime with which he was charged was
committed in February, 1894. One day
that month his wife and child were at
home awaiting his coming to take q
drive When he came into the house,
Duestrow, who was drunk, began to
abuse his wife and finally shot her
down in cold blood. He then picked
up his three-year-old boy, a beauti-
full child, and, holding it at arms
length, killed it with a pistol shot
through the head His wife fingered
for several days and finally died.
After the arrest, Duestrow, with the
help OF his fortune, tried to evade the
consequences Of his crime. Ex-Gov.
johnson, who is credited with being
one Of the ablest criminal lawyers of
this state, was given charge Of the
case, and was assisted by Col. Nat Dry.
