The San Francisco call., 1899-07-02

Meanwhile poor George was in sore
straits. He found that not only had
Kapaai taken all the ready money in
the treasury, but had been systemati-
cally robbing his royal master for over
year, and had left the kingdom sadly
insolvent. To make matters worse,
various creditors of the crown began to
press for money. One firm appealed to
the German Vice Consul for assistance
in collecting a large obligation from
Tonga, and for awhile it looked as If

tors and England and Germany.
This appeal to the German represen-
tative caused George considerable
trouble. The firm had advanced money
to the crown, and was owed a large
sum by a number of the natives. The
natives, by international law, cannot
contract debts, yet the German Vice
Consul. in series of interviews with
King George, and despite the fact that
Tonga is within the sphere of British
influence, threatened that all private as
we'll as public debts must be forthwith
discharged or he would seize Vavua
Island in satisfaction and settlement.

Alarmed at this turn In his affairs,
George appealed to the British Consul
and then sent to Apai for Attorney
William J. Napier, in whose hands he
placed the whole affair. The trouble
was amicabIy arranged and George was
allowed to turn his attention to making
up the deficit in the treasury ana re-
storing the solvency of his kingdom.
Meanwhile the proposed polygamous
marriage was not lost sight of and was
the subject of discussion at every meet
ing Of the Great Council When 1t be-
came evident that the ministers would
bring considerable pressure to bear on
the King in order to dissuade him from

Carson Is Found Guilty of Murder In the
Second Degree.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Boulder, April 25.-Tn the Carson mur-
der trial, after the testimony was COM
pleted, as outlined in the Standard the
arguments to the jury occupied all of
Monday. T. T. Lyon, county attorney
opened for the prosecution and presented
it in clear and logical manner. He was
followed by Messrs. Purcell and Clements
for the defense, who are both forcible
and convincing speakers, and who made
the best of what was generally considas-
ed a weak case.
The biggest crowd at any time in at
tendance at the trial came in the after
noon to hear Judge Pemberton and the
court room was packed to the doors. He
made fine argument and presented a
close analysis of the testimony offered,
holding up to the jury the character of
the man who would make such a murder
Gus assault on a fellow man as Carson
did on Dahman. The case was given to
the jury at the close of the afternoon
session with instructions from Judge Par
ker.
This morning at 9 o'clock Bailiff Sum-
ner came into court with the announce
ment that the jury was ready to report.
The defendant was brought from the jail
and appeared to be quite composed, hard
ly showing the nervousness that might
be expected in man about to listen to
verdict that might mean the termina-
ton of his life.
The verdict as read by the clerk, and
afterwards assented to by the entire jury,
found the defendant, Frank Carson, gull
ty of the crime of murder in the second
degree. and fixed his punishment at 80
years in the state prison.
Carson showed no emotion. and on his
way back to Jail, when it was explained
to him that the deductions for good con-
duct would bring the sentence down to
about 50 years he said he would have to
live to be a very old man to live out that
sentence. The general sentiment of the
community appears to be that the YER
dict IS about what might be expected in
view of the circumstances of the case.
There was no doubt that it was Il cow
ardly and deadly attack, but the jury
probably concluded that the defendant
possibly did not intend TO kill. Sentence
will be pronounced by the court in aC-
Cordance with the verdict on Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. Defendants attGr-
neys have given notice of motion for a
new trial.
