Jury Finds Chris. Merry Guilty of
Murder---Smith Goes Free.

Chicago, January Pin the case of
Chris Merry, the peddler, charged with
wife murder, the jury to-day returned
verdict finding him guilty. Smith,
his alleged accomplice, was found not
guilty. The jury was out all night.
When the verdict was announced,
Smith was relatively composed but
Merry was quiet and his face was
| waxen.
| Smiths fate hung in the balance for
| many hours. Merry's guilt was prac-
| tically agreed upon soon after the jur
ors retired yesterday. Manifestations
of delight by Smith at the verdict were
| cut short by Judge Horton Immediately
sending for bench warrant on which
| Smith will be taken before the grand
| jury charged with being an accessory
after the fact.
| When the verdict was read Smith
| jumped to his feet and shouted for joy.
but Judge Horton sternly commanded
him to sit down. Bring me a war
rant" said the judge. Il want this
man rearrested as an accessory to the
murder after the fact, and | want him
indicted by the grand jury" This had
| the effect of cooling Smiths spirits,
| but he soon recovered them and look
ed pityingly down on his fellow pris-
| Oner.
Chris. old boy, I'm sorry for you"
| he said as he held out his hand to
| Merry. Cheer up; maybe things
| won't be so bad after all. Congratu-
| late me, anyway, on my end OF 1t.
| But Merry was in a daze, and holding
out his hand mechanically remained
silent
| Merry was found guilty on the first
| ballot The rest of the period of the
| jurors deliberations was confined to
discussion of Smiths case, the ballots
standing six for conviction and six
against until to-day.
| Before the prisoners were led back
| to their cells. Assistant State Attorney
| Pearson, Police Captain Wheeler and
several policemen who had been most
actively engaged in the prosecution OF
| the men, pressed through the crowd
and congratulated Smith on the YER
dict. The prisoners little daughter
and her mother were among the first

PROPERTY RECOVERED.
Much Of the Jewelry Taken from the
Residence Of Chas. Schmidt
Found by Officer Knabe Yesterday
Afternoon - The Diamond Ear
Rings Still Missing, However.
Two Watches and Two Over
coats Stolen, and a Thief Caught.

Yesterday morning both the pocket
books taken from the residence of Mr..
Charles c. Schmidt, No 1874 Sixteenth
street, Thursday evening, by the thief
who looted the premises of four or
five hundred dollars worth of portable
property were found and restored to
the owner One book was found by
Mr. Sherfese, the grocer, at Thirteenth
and Byron streets, lying just in the
rear of his store, where it had evidently
been thrown by the thief as he passed
up Byron street. The other was found
by Joe Farrell at his stable at the
head of Thirteenth street.
study of the circumstances of the
robbery makes it apparent that the
thief was some one familiar with the
premises, and it is probable that ne
was in the house before Mr.. Schmidts
daughter left, and possible that he was
there when Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt left
Tor Arion Hall, as force was not used
in obtaining an entrance to the
house.
Yesterday afternoon, acting under
instructions from Chief Bennett, Off
GER Knabe went back to the locality
near the head Of Thirteenth street,
where one of the pocket-books was
found, and after an extended search,
he located the greater portion of the
stolen property. The jewelry was
buried near the Farrell stable, at the
intersection of two alleys, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, and
a stone had been placed to mark the
spot. The officer recovered the dia-
mond and pearl brooch, a pair of brace
lets, a chain, ring, an Elk pin and
several stick pins, but the dia-
mond earrings and watch could not
be found. The property still missing
is probably either in the possession
of the thief, or was secreted in an
other place.

MARYLAND SENATORSHIP.
Legislature Takes Two More Ballots With
Practically No Change


Practically No Change.
Annapolis, Md, January 21.-The
fourth day of balloting for a United
States Senator from Maryland found
the situation practically unchanged.
No one looks for an election before
Monday Of next week, and the feeling
is growing that the only way to settle
the matter is by the withdrawal OF
both Shaw and McComas in favor OF
a compromise candidate.
The friends of ex-Congressman John
Van Lear Findlay assert that in such
an event the mantle will fall upon the
higher shoulders. General Sheyrock' S
adherents are no less confident, assert
ing that no other would prove so ac-
ceptable a choice to the majority of
the delegates.
The following was the result of the
sixth ballot on the Senatorship, taken
at noon to-day:
McComas, 43; German, 49, Findlay,
2; Shryock, 2 Mullikin, 2; Barber, II;
Shaw, l.
The result of the seventh ballot was
as follows
McComas, A; German, 46; Shaw, 49,;
Shryock, 2; Findlay, 2; total, 113.
After this ballot the join convention
adjourned until tomorrow.

Halloran, a police officer on the local
force, was fatally shot with his own
pistol an hour after midnight to-day
by Miss Nellie Manion, who then turn
ed the pistol on herself and put bull
let in her brain. The attempted MUIR
der and suicide was the result of dis
appointed love. The shooting followed
a quarrel during which Miss Manion
begged Halloran to marry her. He
refused and she, in mad desperation,
began shooting
For several months it had been I'M
derstOod in the neighborhood of the
girls home that Halloran and Miss
Manion were engaged. The patrol
man walked the beat on which the girl
lived. Recently it became noised about
that there had been a quarrel and that
Halloran had broken off the engage
ment.
Neither Halloran nor the young wo-
man can live. Halloran's right lung
is pierced. Miss Manion's wound is in
the right temple.
When seen at the hospital the girl
insisted that while she shot Halloran
she did not inf1ict her own wound She
refuses, however, to tell who did. Hal
loran's story corroborates that of the
girl as to the details of the shooting.
There is another woman in the case,
Of whom Miss Manion was jealous.

upon which she is built does not seem
