Guilty Of Causing Death Of
Charles Green
SENTENCED 70 FIVE YEARS
The Prisoner Thanked the Court and
Jury After He Had Heard the
verdict'..He Must Also
-s Pay Fine
. " ;, of $4OO.

The sensational murder case which
consumed all Of Friday in the Court Of
Oyer and Terminer in this city was COM
pleted, Yesterday at noon BY the jury re-
turning verdict OF manslaughter.
The man being tried for Ills life was
Henry Backiston who stabbed Charles
Green witt, a butcher Knife during a
fight which occurred last May on the
farm Of George NJ. D. Rhoads, Middle
town.
Green lived several months. He died
finally at the Delaware Hospital and the
post.mortem subsequently held revealed
the fact that the knife had entered the
left lung which resulted in death from
exhaustion and hemorrhage. ' 81
There was strong chain of evidence
against Blackiston, GREEN'S slayer, and
deputy. Attorney General Cooper, who
conducted the case for the State in place
Of Attorney General r. G. White,
worked hard for verdict of first degree
murder :
The jury in /: he case was divided at
first and several contended for first de-
gree, but after over seventeen hours de-
liberation they filed into the court room
at 1870 O'Clock yesterday and announced
that .hey had arrived at verdict Of man
slaughter. ..."
Biackston, the prisoner felt the criti-
cal situation in which he was placed,
and to say he was relieved by the verdict
Of manslaughter would be putting 1t
mild. He feared that his life would be
required to pay the penalty, and his
sleep, what little he received Friday
night, was troubled with dreams in
which the gallows played an important
roll. The prisoner almost broke down
at the verdict. ~
He was profuse in his thanks to the
conrt and to the jury Notwithstanding
that he received the full penalty for the
crime. He was sentenced to pay $4OO
fine, cost Of prosecution and must stay
in jail for five years. ~.
He told theicenFt THAT hes did not i'm
tend to kill Charles Green nor even hurt
him.
