Stephen Leyden, convicted Of man

Victor Zig in Johnson's beer hall at Belt,
Dec 2, last, appeared in the district
court Saturday morning, in custody of
the sheriff, to receive sentence.
When asked if he had any reason to
offer why sentence should not be passed
upon him, Leyden replied in the mega
tive.
W. q. Downing, one Of the defendants
attorneys, then arose and made a force
full plea for clemency for his client. He
dwelt upon the good reputation as a
peaceable, quiet and awabiding citizen
which Leyden had always possessed;
and Leyden; Leyden'e poor health; and
other circumstances which, Mr.. Downing
urged, were mitigating.
| Judge Benton then addressed the
prisoner, reviewing the mitigating Cir
cumstances and stating that the court
would consider them; but also stating
that tho conviction and sentence would
be warning to others to not carry con-
cealed weapons, practice which wouic
too often result seriously. He then pro

the girls on Sunday morning last, were
the main witnesses for the state and de
tailed the facts recorded heretofore as
to what was going on at the Park thea
ter at l;'}O a. IN. Sunday last. The main
facts brought out in the evidence We're

pIOycs, were also sworn for the state, but

on Sunday morning, but declared it was
d "privatc dance" only for invited
guests, and that she gave out the invi-
tations, which were verbal invitations.
She danced herself with an ''invited'
partner.
S. NJ. Pettingill, one of the employees of
the resort, corroboratod Miss Molle in
some points.
The jury was addressed by j. A. Lar

plea to the jurys sympathy, claiming
that it was case OF poor, defenseless

nation.
The attorney for the state briefly re-
the admissions of Miss Thompson her
case complete.
After being out short time the jury
brought in a verdict of "Not gilty,
the photography of the verdict creating
as much surprise as its purport in the
minds of those who examined it. The
county attorney asked one of the Jury
men after court adjourned on what
theory he consented to such a verdict

it their duty to bring in that verdict, in
aemuch as there was no evidence II
