Contrary to expectations, the jury in
the Boland case brought i'm a verdict
of guilty. A recommendation of eX-
treme mercy accompanied the finding.
Sentence was suspended until Satur-
day 1t is possible that sentence may
not be imposed at that time, as the
attorneys for the defense will in the
meantime make application for a new
trial.
The whole day, before Judge Nc
Clure, i'm the Superior court room was
taken up with the trial of Thomas
Smith, of Olyphant. charged with at
tempting to outrage Mrs. Mary Law
Ter, the comely young wife of Patrick
Lawler, of the same locality. The de-
fense tried to show that it was a case
of mistaken identity and intimated in
a roundabout way that one Michael
Murphy was the culprit. Murphy is
very much like Smith in build and APP
pearanCe and when. at the request of
one of the iurvmen. they were caused
to stand up side by side in the witness
box, the resemblance was striking.
The case was given to the jury at ad-
iourning time. James j. O'Malley and
O'Brien e. Kelly assisted Assistant

prosecution. John f. Scragg repre-
sented the defendant
