o,srs,cr COURT.
Bohsnnon 8sothsrs' Trial Concluded.
Court AdJovsns Until January

The testimony in the Bohannon
murder case was concluded Tues
day afternoon, both OF the defend
ants testiiying in their own defense,
Frank Bohannon being on the wit
ness stand for over two hours and
a half. Frank Bohannon admitted
firing the fatal shot, but claimed
thai, the deed was done in self-de-
fense. He asserted that his father
had assaulted him on numerous oc-
cssions with a knife and once with
a gun, and claimed that he was
afraid his father would kill him.
Thursday morning Judge Dixon
read his instructions to the jury,
giving a thorough and complete
exposition OF the law involved in
the case. The opening argument
was made by Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Sabin, who was followed
by Thos. X HoffmiIe and G.. NJ.
Dameron for the defense, and Dis
trict Attorney Saunders who made
the concluding argument for the
prosecution.
The jury retired about o'clock
and in forty FIVE minutes returned
verdict OF guilty OF murder in the
first degree against both defend
ants The Bohannon brothers re-
ceived the verdict with composure
and the indifference which has
characterized them throughout the
trial On their way back TO the
Jail they remarked that ii was just
what they expected, and upon
tkeir arrival there they Immediately
proceeded to indulge in game OF
"high five"
Yesterday morning at hall past
nine o'clock they were brought be-
lOIe tile pdi oI t'S Souit ioi SSu
tence. Judge Dixon's address was
touching, but the sentiments ex-
pressed evidently affected the au-
dience more than they did either
OF the defendants. They were
sentenced to life Imprisonment at
Canon City Sheriff Barr and I'm
dersheriff Steward left with the
prisoners on No. 5 this morning
for the penitentiary.
The case of Samuel McCarty VS.
DIR. c. w Williams. postmaster
at Manzanola, came up in the dis
trict court Thursday afternoon and
was concluded about 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Williams is ac-
cused of assault to do bodily harm.
Last August he had squsbble
with McCarty about irrigation
water. In fight which ensued in
which McCarty used a pitchfork
and the postmaster the butt end OF
a gun, the former got the wors, of
it and was laid up for ten days
from the effects of bruises and cuts
received. The jury is out as we
go to press.
The cases of James Gholson and
John Stafford were continued until
the adjourned term which convenes
in January.
