Jury Declares Him Guilty, but
Recommends Him to Mercy.
NOTICE OF MOTION FOX new TRIAL
Jury Divided and Return Under
stood to Be Compromise.
THE RESULT A SUPRISE

After celebrating nearly twenty hours
the jury in the case of Dan Williams. the
eX-policeman who was charged with the
embezzlement of 81 976.O4 of fines collected
by him in the Police Court for the District
returned verdict in Criminal Court No :
this morning declaring Williams to b.
guilty on the third count of the indict
ment and not guilty on the other si1
counts. The jury also recommended the
convicted man to the mercy Of the court
because of his ill-health.
Mr.. r. Newton Donaldson of counsel fol
Williams gave notice of a motion for a
new trial and in arrest of judgment. Dis.
trict Attorney Davis stated to Judge Brad.
ley tNat. in view of the notice given by Mr.
Donaldson. he would not ask that sentence
be imposed today. and at the district at
torney's request Williams was remanded
to Jail to await sentence.
Matter of Great Surprise.
Not only YVES the verdict matter of great
surprise to those who closely followed the
trial, but the jury's long elaboration was
also as surprising, the general impression
of those who had watched the case being
that verdict would be reached in less
than an hour. and that if there should be
any doubt of the guilt of the accused man
dictment on which verdict of guilty was
returned. the third. The indictment charged
that from May to Is. 1896, Williams en-
bezzied $926OS of the fines collected by
him for the District; from May 16 to May
81, Ss:!5.3S; from June to June 10, S153.O7;
from June 16 to June 80, $773.22; from July
l to July 10. sS53.77: from July 1G to July
81. ss29.1O. and August 1 to August 10,
$tO542
1t was the embezzlement of s153.O7, be-
tween June 1 and June 10, 1886. of which
the jury declared Williams to be guilty,
and as to that count, the defendants coun-
sci claim that he was entitled to an &C
qGittal, because, as they contended before
the jury. it was shown that while but
$464.76 of fines were imposed between June
and June 10. Williams deposited August
y s.eO36 to cover both collateralS and fines
during that period.
How the Jury Voted.
1t is understood that the first vote taken
by the jury disclosed that nine of them be-
lieved the defendant to be guilty as in
dicted. that is, guilty on all the seven
counts, and three believed him not guilty.
On the next ballot it is said the vote stood
seven to five for general verdict of guilty,
ard that then those who believed in Will
Hams innocence gradually prevailed. or
course, the verdict is regarded as a COM
promise one, but it was none the less sur
rrising. particularly to Williams counsel,
Messrs. Tracey L. Jeffords and r. Newton
Donaldson, who express the belief that a
new trial will be granted their client Will
Eams received the verdict calmly
The penalty for the offense is fine of
not more Than 5000, or Imprisonment for
not more than five years. or both. 1t was
sad today that an additional Indictment
against Williams will be returned, wit
nesses having. 1t is claimed. been summon
ed before the grand jury recently.
