over, terminating yesterday evening
with the sentence Of death pronounced
on ten of the police officers and police
men concerned in the butchery Of the
hapless wretch, whose audscious at
tempt on the presidents life caused Q
profound sensation here. The jury
was out over seven hours, returning ito
verdict at FIVE p. M, and Judge Flores
delivering his confirmation verdict
st about eight o'clock. The pris.
oners stood up, and the gen
darmes presented arms during the
deliverance. The court room was
crowded to the utmost capacity, for
the closing scenes Of the trial were
most dramatic. Villavicencio and Ca.
brera took the verdict coolly, as, in
fact, did all the prisoners Bellido
was sentenced to II months imprison-
ment and Cueller, who bought the
knives at the order Of his master, the
late Inspector General Valesquez, and
also Bravo, were acquitted and set
free. The condemned men do not yet
seem to realize their perilous position.
Their lawyers entered an appeal in
each case. Public opinion sustains the
verdict.

Elk POINT, s. D., Nov. GA lynch.
ing was narrowly avoided here yester.
day evening. Ed Stroud. who eloped
with a l6-year-old girl, leaving his
family in destitute circumstances, was
discharged by Justice Smythe, owing
to lack Of evidence, and when the fact
became known, citizens were aroused.
Ed Carter, father of the girl, procured
a rope and started in search for
Stroud. When he found him he pro-
ceeded to beat him, and in shorttime
the streets were thronged with excited
people yelling lynch him." Stroud
managed to break away but was soon
overtaken and again pounded and
kicked: Officers finally arrived on the
scene and rescued the victim just as he
was about exhausted He was taken
to the county Jail and a physician was
summoned. who pronounced him badly
injured though not fatally The mob
gathered in front of the iail and made
all sorts of threats hut no further
trouble was caused.
