Manuel Fellows Found
Guilty by a Santa
Ana Jury.
NO Recon- mendation of Mercy
in the Verdict of the
Twelve Men.
The Prisoners Crime the Shooting
of an Old Man Through the
Door of Saloon.

SANTA ANA, CAL, Sept 24.-For the
killing of Dolores Garcia at Capistrano on
the night of June 16 Manuel Fellows was
to-day convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. The jury was out FIVE hours. The
question it had to determine was whether
the evidence showed sufficient motive in
the killing to justify the imposition of the
death penalty The chain of circumstan-
tial evidence against the prisoner was too
strong to allow an scquittal, and the
weak defense offered by the prisoner that
he was drunk and incapable could not
sway the minds of the Jurors from any
qualifying verdict. Notice of appeal has
been served on the ground that the in.
formation was not read and explained 10
the defendant at the preliminary exami-
nation. On this point there is no conflict
ing evidence.
The trial lasted five days, over twenty
witnesses being called by the prosecution
to forge chain of incriminating testi-
mony around the prisoner. His threats,
his admissions of guilt, and his every
movement on the night OF the murder
were shown up against him. Before the
shot was heard Fellows had told certain
persons that he was going to kill Garcia
and fee to the mountains. He armed him
self with a rife and cartridges and pre-
pared 10 defy pursuers. After the shoot
ing, however. he changed his mind, rode
back to town, went TO the house of a
friend and told what he had done.
He asked for the friends assistance to
clear him. 1t was refused and he then
rode down to the scene of the murder,
who're he was Immediately arrested.
Garcia, the murdered man, was a sa-
loon-keep per in the mission town and had
had previous quarrel with Fellows. The
murderer waited until Garcia was alone in
his saloon and then approached on the
street and shot him through the head
with rife.
