FOUyD GUILTY
The Halderman Brothers to
 Hang For Their Crime

We, the jury do find the defendants Wm and Thos Halderman guilty Of the crime of murder as charged and stiix the penalty a. death.
 Such WAS the verdict 0! ,he jury and such is the penal retlibution 10 be me.eI out to the accused as punish ment for thar crime in murdering Teddy Moore end c. l. Alnsworth. The prisoners when they heard the the verdict read showed no signs of emotion and their unicel,ag nature was the more forcibly impressed upon those who had witnessed their sppar ent uncOncern. In leaving the cou t room. in charge of ollicer', their elasticity 0! step or general dsneAuor was not affected any mere than their usual walk over the same ground tO and from the court room during the past four days Of their trial. Neither said word or comment to the other, and no uneasiness exhibited by either yet by the verdict they had JIs. heard their lives were to be forfei :ei for the crime they now stand guilty.
 The news of the verdict spread about town rapidly and from the many expressions heard meets wi.h general favor Of the populace.
 Alter three lays trial and one di,'s argument the case was submitted to the jury st about 10 D. m. Jas: night and the verdict was returned this morning at the opening O court.
 From legal standpoint the case was stubbo.nly fought. Capable and distinguished cou:.sel were app, in ted for the prisoners by the court and a more stronger plea, considering the circumstances o!tEe case, would be harder to iiud than Att'r1eys Ja.. Reilly and Marcus A. Smith made in defense of the prisoners in their able arguments before the jury. ca the other hand District Attorney Land and Attorney A. R. English for the prose- cution present,d incontrovertable arguments in msslerly and con inc ing light, and also received deserv- ed encomiums on their efforts. Every thing was conducted III a fair and impsr -ial manner and the verdict is regarded ss a just enc.
 The date for receiving sentence las not yet been set by the court. but Is expected the prisoners will De arraisned on Saturday next.o be in formed of tnA date of execution ci the death penalty.
 IL is understood that if a new trial he denied, the attorneys for the prisoners will appeal to the Supreme Court asking for retrial. What will be done remains to be seen.
 The history of the case is fresh in the minds of our people. '.ths cold- blooded anu shocking circums.an es of the death of the two officers while arresting their men, and who tut a few moments before were engaged in friendly conversation wi:h their prisoners, had granted them every freedom, and in return were killed while least expecting any hostile de- monstration is in effec. the !evolsing details Of the crime for which they nust now pay the full penalty of the law.
