office, and, drawing pistol. cooked and
pointed it directly at Mr.. Johnson's
face exclaiming that he had him at
last where he wanted him.
Mr. Johnson had heard the noise in
the hall, but supposing that some stu
dents from the college in. the upper
part Of the block were scuffiing, thought
nothing of it.

lating with the latter, and at length
DR.. Luce departed.

When Bran heard the verdict he did
not collapse, but sat down, and the
tears streamed from his eyes, He
maintains his innocence and antici-
pates final acGuittal.
The court announced that two weeks
would he given to put the exceptions
together that one week would be al
lowed the government for examination
of the exceptions. and that after that
the counsel would be heard in arSu-
mentS and the court would decide
whether or not Bran will have another

Appeal may be taken from that de-

The last day of the celebrated Bran
trial in the United States circuit court
was full of action.
From the seemingly neyer-endins
suspense, event followed event up to
the denouement which meant the legal
ending of a human life, an expiation
for crime which transcends all
others for Nervousness in the memory
Of this generation.

TOOTH" saith the Bible law; law
which has come down from the dim
ages of the past to wreak vengeance
on evil doors of the present.
All was hustle and activity around
the government building, Saturday
morning. The same crowd--a nights
rest having failed to get rid of that
inordinate vein of curiosity-were in
the seats. They craned their necks as
of yore, and not thing escaped them.
By o'clock most OF the seats We're
occupied by those friendly to the Off
GERS. There were not as many women
in the audience, only a few being
scattered here and there.
AT 9.32 Bran came in with Deputy
Walters. The prisoner was looking as
usual. He had nod of recognition for
the officers and reporters whom he
knew.
There was rather drawn look on
his face, which told better than words
that all the. long. weary hours of the
night had not been passed in restful
slumber.
Deputies Mcdonald and Walters
guarded the dock, and Lawyer Cctter
chatted with his client good naturally.
At 9.42 the jury filed in under charge
of Officer Cotter. They looked bright
and smiling, as if they had slept in
their usual beds, but by the determined
look on their faces they probably had
argued hard and long.
The jury answered to their names.

A SUCCESSOR TO HOLMAN.
Gritilth, Democrat, won the Indiana
Election for Congress ON
Silver Platform.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. l6.-A special
election occurred last week in the 4th
Congressional district of Indiana to Ill
the vacancy recently made by the
death OF Judge w. S. Holman, famil-
iarly known as the great director. y
There were three candidates.; Marion
S. Grifiith, Democrat; Rev. Frank Lee,
Republican, and w. NJ. Browder, pop
ulist. All Of the candidates made a
thorough canvass, and Benton McMil-
Ian, OF Tennessee, Ex-Governor Math-
ews, of Indiana, and other prominent
speakers took part in the discussion.
On straight separate party vote,
with all three parties polling their
strength, the district should be Re-
publican under the new apportion-
ment. Last year the normal majority
OF the silver fusion ticket was TAI, and
in 1894 the Populists polled 1,517
votes in the counties composing the
district, the same counties in the
same year giving a Republican ma
jority OF 279, though in 1892 the Pop
ulists polled only Lila votes, and the
Democrats had majority of 1861.
Last year there was no Populist run
ming. TWAS straight fight between
Holman and the Republicans, but the
Populists voted for Holman, and Hol-
man carried the district by s25. This
year the Populists had candidate,
and in some counties they stood val
iantly by him. Griffith, Democrat,
carried the district by substantial
plurality that may run beyond 1000.
Free silver was the leading issue OF
the canvass.
