to Return the Verdict.

Lucien Earle, Esq, of defending coun-
sci, resumed his argument to the jury
at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and he
closely traversed the entire line Of tes-
timony. At 1880 he gave way to his
associate, Attorney Peck, who spoke
until noon, resuming after recess and
continuing until 3:15. when Deputy Dis
trict Attorney McComas began his CLOS

THE CARLTON RENT.
The Premises to be Surrendered and
Back Rent Paid.

The difficulties In connection with the
occupancy Of the Carlton lodging house
on South Spring street were ended yes
terday. In the suit of the owner Of the
premises, c. J. Ball, against Mrs. C..
Fitzsimmons. the lessee, Judge Shaw
gave judgment for the plaintiff in the
full amount claimed.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons contended very
earnestly that she had never received
service, because she let the paper fiutter
to the ground and wouldn't touch 1t.
Judge Shaw regarded her objection as
frivolous and said that he had no doubt
that she knew she had been served.
The effect Of the judgment rendered
will be that Mr.. Ball will get possession
Of his premises. but the 5000 due for rent
may remain for some time yet due II the
policy Of evasion is still pursued.

Mr.. Bryan is to receive his official noti-
fcation Of his nomination by the Silver
party. The announcement that he would
speak there on that occasion probably
arose out of the fact that an invitation
TO make an address was sent him, to
which he did not have an opportunity to
reply because of his absence from the
city. AS soon as he returned he replied,
declining the invitation.
Mr.. Teller informed a representative
! of the Associated Press today that his
movements outsides of Colorado during
the campaign would be controlled en-
tirely by the Democdatic national COM
mittee. He has received urgent invita-
tionS to speak in almost every state
in the union but replies to all such that
he will make no dates INDEPENDENT of the
committee. He will leave Denver the
latter part of next week and will go
direct TO Chicago, where he will meet
Chairman Jones of the national commit
tee, placing himself at the disposal of
the latter for the remainder of the cam
paign. He will make only one formal
speech in Colorado before taking his de-
parture. This will be delivered next
Monday at Colorado Springs, where
there is stronger Mckinley sentiment
than in any other part of the state.
The senator expressed great confidence
in the favorable result of the campaign,
saying that his mail indicated marvel
lousy rapid growth of the free silver
sentiment. He says that Bryan's cam
paign has, so far, justified the anticipa-
tons of his most ardent admirers and
expresses the opinion that the history of
the country does not record a series of
speeches more apt ana telling that those
which have been delivered by the free
silver candidate on his eastern tour.
