Cambridge. Md, Nov. l6 The jury
ia the case of Stats ys. Allen Grace
having at late hour last night brought
in n verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree, he was to,day sentenced
by Tho court to a term OF 10 years in
tho penitentiury. After the finding of
tho jury, but hofore sentsnce was passed,
il was discovered that William W.
Moore, ons Of the jurors, had served on
tho Jury OF inquest and signed the YER
dict of that body, which waa to the
OBJECT that Grace had feloniously muir
dered his wife.
This was such a formation and ex-
preston Of opinion the prisoners coun-
snl commended, as to diHqualify Mr..
Moore from serving as a juror IN the
case and was good ground for a new
trial. AT first Grace was anxious that
Il new trial be demanded, but when its
uncertainties were explained to him
both be and his counsel came TO the
conclusion that no advantage could be
gained thereby and consented 10 sem
tence being passed.
The court gavo Grace's counsel until
next Monday to prepare their bill OF OK
ceptions. The exceptions will be to the
rulings of the court in not admitting
certain testimony OF the defence. Alsr
to the fact, as commended by the defence
that the court instructed the foreman o.
tho jury as to the offence and ths
penalty therefor in the absence of some
of the other members OF the panel. Il
is not considered probable, however,
that an appeal will be taken. 1t il
understood that the Jury at first stool
nine for granddaughter to three fol
murder in the second degree, and thu
prisoners friends claim that the YER
dict would have been for manslaughts
had not some of the jurors gotten |
wrong impression as to the extent o
the term of imprisonment under tn,
former verdict.
