a written request asking the court if
the obligations they took as jurors
should influence them in the matter of
recommending that the death penalty
be not inflicted. Ali the jurors had
answered that they favored capital
punishment. but one at least evidently
wished to mitigate the punishment
b from the extreme penalty. The court
instructed them that the recommended
ton was a separate matter and the
jurors Were entirely free from restric-
tions.
Again they retired and at 1870 came
in again with another written question.
This was an inquiry if there were de-
grees of insanity which might be prop
erly considered in fixing the degree of
punishment. The court instructed
them that a defendant was either sane
or insane and if sane he was response
bic. if insane he was not accountable
for his acts. The court then adjourned
till O'Clock.
At 2 O'Clock the jury had nol-repOrt
to make and adjournment was taken
till $3.50. That hour came and still no
sign came from within the jury room.
The crowds of spectators still waited
without, talking IN whispers and wait
ing.
Suddenly came a sharp. decisive
knock from within which made a sud
den hush come over the throng. 1t was
like the knocking at the gate in Mac
beth" Every eve was fastened on
the door when Bailif Harrop opened
it and received the message that the
jury had agreed. \ message was sent
to Judge Rolapp The sheriff brought
in the prisoner. who looked shade
paler than usual and whose face
twitched somewhat under the great
strain. At just $3.50 the jury filed into
court and after the usual questions,
rreeanted the following Vp~dfcr which
MAS fled and read:
State of Utah ". John D. Douglass.
We, the jury in the above entitled ac-
ton, find the defendant, John D. Doug
lass guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree, as IN manner and form charged
in the information, and recommend
him to the mercy of the court.
WILLIAM c. SMITH,
Foreman.
The court then said: There are but
two forms of verdict when you ind the
defendant guilty Of murder in the first
degree-eithar guilty Of murder in the
first degree. in the manner and form as
charged in the information: or guilty
of murder in the first degree, with the
recommendation that he be imprisoned
at hard labor for life. No other verdict
can be received by the court, SO far
es that degree Of murder is concerned.
You will have to retire with the officer
and prepare a proper verdict
After the jury was discharged it was
learned that they stood II to / for IN
conditional conviction Of murder in the
irst degree. II was also learned that
during the day a relative Of this lone
Juror brought information TO the sher-
ifs office that ne is opposed to capital
punishment
The recommendation does not fix the
penalty, but simply allows the judge to
use his discretion in the matter OF SEN
tence.
The defendant, his relatives and at
rorneys are well satisfied with the out
come.

Catholic knights and Ladies.

st. Louis, May l9.-After celebrating
mass at St. Patrick's church this morn
ing the fourth biennial convention of
Catholic Knights and Ladies of
America went into the third and last
days session. An effort was made to
revive that part Of the constitution
that provides that the supreme presi-
dent and treasurer are ineligible for
reelection after serving the specified
time Of two years. The effort TO effect
a change was unsuccessful. An i'm
portant change was made by the re-
vision of the constitution with regard
to the reserve fund. 1t was decided it
should be converted into an emergency
fund The fund is only to be used
\, hen there is an epidemic or nUmer-
Gus accidents among the members of
the organization and then the assess
ments viii be taken from the fund
instead OF from the afflicted members.
