GODDARD CONVICTED.
The Jury Brings in a Verdict OF
Murder in the Second Degree.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 4.-Murder in
the second degree was the verdict re-
turned at a late hour tonight in the
case of DR., jefferson d. Goddard, the
druggist who shot and killed Fred j.
Jackson laundryman, in the apart
ments of Jacksons wife at the Wood
land Hotel.
The case was given to the jury at
l o'clock this afternoon. The verdict
of the jury fixes the penalty at sixteen
years in the State Penitentiary.
The case has been sensational from
the first The tragedy developed the
fact that Mrs Jackson, who is wealthy,
having acquired all the property of her
husband before his death, set Goddard
up in the drug business, and the dead
mans relatives charged conspiracy be-
tween the wife and Goddard to put
Jackson out of the way.
When DR.. Goddard was first tried for
the crime a further sensation was cre-
ated by the action of Mrs. Jackson and
the three young daughters of the muir
dered man. They took the part OF the
accused druggist, whose plea was self
Defense and went to extreme meas
ures to defend him. The first trial,
which resulted in hung jury, provoked
suspicious of jury bribing.
The beginning of the second trial
was followed by the sensational ar
rest of three local politicians, one for
mer Justice of the Peace, for attempt
ing to bribe jurors These charges are
still pending.
