SANTA ANA, Sept. A.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Manuel Fellows. charged
with the murder of Dolores Garcia at
Capistrano, June 10th, was today convicted
of murder in the first degree. The jury
retired at 11:15 and at 4:20 announced a
verdict. Sentence will be pronounced on
next Friday, when the defense will give no.
tice of appeal. In the trial the defense
made no denial of the charge. but main
tanned that the drunken condition Of de-
fendant prohibited him from acting with
a sound mind and discretion. The at
torneys sought to obtain for the client a
verdict of life Imprisonment. The ques-
ton that held the jury was that Of fixing
the penalty.
The murder of Garcia was one of the
most brutal ever recorded in the county.
1t was the elimination of long standing
feud between the two, Fellows having
been previously convicted of assault Upon
Garcia. On the night of the 18th Of June
Garcia was shot in the doorway of his sa-
loon with rifle in the hands of Fellows,
standing a few feet distant. Not long
after Fellows rode to the house Of friend
and told him what he had done. He was
arrested on admissions made by him, and
the detailed account of his movements on
the night of the murder wove about him
chain of circumstantial evidence that could
not be broken.

against him. Our sympathies were with
the latter. When the Utah fellows asked

our fellows promised. thinking to play a

then, everyone was fooled. The speech he
made them was a rattler, and it carried
everything before 1t like a storm. To this
