GUILTY.
Such i the Verdict OF the Jury in
the Case OF Henry Lamont
Charged with the Murder
OF Mccarthy.


Of such an important and expensive
case as this one, We give as much space
as possible to the evidence as il was in
troduced. District Attorney Sloan OPP
ened the case Friday morning in 4 brief
address to the jury, in which he out
lined the plan to be followed ont by the
state and he expects the evidence pre-
scented by tie state Will he sufficiently
we'll connected and clear TO convict the
accused.
The first witness called was Dan Nc
Donald, VITO went to the scene Of the
murder with coroner Howson, and he
described III detail the scene as he re-
! membered it,
Coroner IioWsOn came next, he dId
not seem to remember the particulars
which cOroner's are supposed t. have
recorded very carefully in their brains
of such startling cases rs this one. He
differed from Mcdonald as regards the
position Of the body when found Me-
Donald swearing twas lying face down
ward and Mr.. Howson thinking the
body lay on the back or side.
\. X. Smith who had made map of
the locality was next sworn and idcnt-
(. lhed the map.
Coroner lowson was then recalled
and testified as to the clothing and said
that the body had on neither coat nor
shoes.
The socks, he said excited his curiosity
as they were perfectly clean and gave
no Indication of travel. Tins he was
( sure OF as he examined them closely
to see if the man had been walking in
his stocking feet. He said that the hat
found in the road had hole in it which
I he supposed was a bullet hole The
grass in the vicinity OF the body, seem
ed to be crushed down, as if the body
/ had been dragged from the road. TWAS
almost covered by brush.
John Gregg was next called, he being
/ one of the party starting from Dedham
I for tie lumber camp at Black River
Falls. He told a very smooth story,
and was not much shaken by crOss-eX-
animation. He told how he became ac-
qualnted with the prisoner and MCCar-
thy, the carousal Dedham and the trip
( through the woods. lie and Thorpe
I were ahead and the last time he saw
the prisoner during the trip was when
I he was standing by Mccarthy, who was
sitting on Il log, which he located on the
/ pictures. After the had travelled about
a mile and quarter from that place
they heard the report Of i gun which
seemed to be ahead of them.
Then comes Robt. Galusha, who was
also of the party, he recognized the
/ picture and located the spot where ne
/ had last seen the prisoner standing near
. Mccarthy. He SAID deceased wore a
blue chinchiiia coat, a soft lat and de
I eCrlbed shoes lie Wore as river shoes,
coming about S inches above the ankle.
