~THE PLAYS

Although the curtain at oBrfen's opera house did not go up until 915 o'clock last might the fashionable audience which had assembled to see Creston Clarke in Ham let" were fully repaid for the delay, which was caused by a circumstance over which the management had no control.
 Mr. Clarke and hts company came from Selma, and where due in Birmingham at 4:3O o'clock, but their special cars being at tached to freight train, did not reach the city until 6:30 Through a conflict of orders, instead of dropping MT. Clarke's cars at the union station, they were taken to the Woodlawn yards, where they were held for nearly two hours, and in consequence, the performance was delayed, and then the special scenery in the first act could not be used. MT. Clarke appeared before the cur rain and fin a neat little speech explained the situation which was satisfactory to the audience.
 A pleasant incident which in measure offset the long delay, was the presentation at the close of the performance of Deau- tiful gold medal to Miss Elizabeth Snede- cor of the Creston Clarke club of Blr- mingham Seminary, whose essay on liam letv had been selected as the best among a number offered.
 But to the performance. MT Ciafhe 5 interpretation of the melancholy Dane was strong, and while 1t was not nis hrst ap- pearance in the role in Birmingham Il was by far his best. That he is a student Of the part was evidenced by the Improvements he has made and by his careful and earn est stage work.
 Miss Adelaide Prince as Ophelia was excellent, her stage appearance, voice ana articulation being especially pleasing, to say nothing of her acting. The entire sup port was good, and while some improve ments could be made in the cast, the pro- duction as whole is worthy of the patron age of all lovers of the Immortal Bard Of Avon."

(From Saturdays pally.)

NHAoA 0uSuAuuS . lGlly.)
The trial of the Jenkins murder
case came to a close in the district
court this morning. The trial of the
case has not occupied .ong, there being
not many witnesses examined, the tes-
timony of James NJ. Jenkins, the prin-
cipal witness for the prosecution, and
of Ira Q. jenkins, the defendant, for
the defense being the most important
and occupying the most of the time
during the trial. A subpoena wa is
sued by the state yesterday for Ida
Lewis, but she has left the city and
was not put upon the stand. DR..
Bentley was put on the stand by the
state this morning, to testify as to the
course of the bullet through the head
of Stark. The object of the testi-
mony was to impeach the witness Ira
Jenkins, in his statement of the posi-
ton of the body of Stark when he said
his father fired a bullet into his head.
Dr.. Bentley said the bullet an ppa
emily direct cours through the head
from left to right, and had not, in his
opinion, been DETECTED in it's course,
except possibly a little slightly up
ward. He did not believe a bullet
fired from the right side of any person
could make such a wound. This was
the last testimony taken.
The addresses to the jury were
made by Attorneys Allen and Coch-
rane. Both of these were brief. They
dwelt, both. with the nature of the
testimony, each side drawing from the
testimony and the circumstances diff
ferent conclusions with relation to the
true facts in the case.
The case went to the jury at a little
before ! O'Clock. The addresses of
the attorneys were completed at short
ly before II and the charge of Judge
Winchester occupied about an hour, in
which he explained the law in the
case. At 2:45 the jury came into
court, and Ed Adams, foreman, stated
that there was some doubt with one or
two members of the jury whether they
could find the prisoner guilty Of muir
der in the second degree. Judge Win
chester replied that the prisoner was
charged with murder in the first de-
gree. The jury then retired again.
1t was rumored at this time that
eight of the jury stood for conviction,
two for the death penalty, and two for
Imprisonment for life.

first degree and that we find and fix
the penalty at DEATH"

first degree and that we find and fix
the penalty at DEATH"
The verdict was received amid abso-
lutte silence.
The verdict was taken down by
Stenographer futile, transcribed, and
read again to the jury. Then it was
handed to Clerk Of Court Shelton and
again read to the jury. The members
OF the jury were asked, in the custom
ary words. if this was their verdict.
They responded affirmatively and tbs
verdict was duly recorded.
During the rendering of the verdict,
the prisoner maintained himself with
the same composure, although it was
evident he was nervous, in the ex-
IRENE. His brow was covered with
perspiration which he wiped away ner-
vously. But he gave no sign of break
ing down, and walked out of the court
room steadily, pausing a while to
speak to his wife and mother-in-law
as he passed them. They appeared
stunned by the verdict and sat silent
until after court had adjourned when
both women broke down and cried.
In the absence of States Attorney
Allen, Attorney Philbrick received the
verdict for the prosecution. Upon
the %pronouncing of the verdict Judge
Winchester stated that he would set
Monday afternoon at . o'clock as the
day and hour for passing sentence.
The prisoner was then remanded to
Jail.
While a verdict of guilty was ex-
pected, there was considerable differ
ence of opinion as to whether the YER
dict would fix the death penalty, for
the reason that father and son accused
each other from the stand, and, while
it seemed the general belief that 10Th
were concerned in the crime, there
might have been a difference OF opin-
lona as to the relative guilt of the Two.
1t is gelelally agreed that the verdict
IS a jus. enc.
States Attorney Allen has worked
hard w:h the case from the lirst.
When the body of Stark was first
found and the father and son ioiL he.
fore the coroner S jury all they claimed
to know Of the circumstances, States
Attorney Allen was convinced of the
guilt of n or both of the men. He
took immediate steps to learn all pos
sible of the matter and finally secured
a confession from the father-the
statement made upon the witness
stand. Whether the old man told the
whole truth is uncertain, but his story
satisfied those who heard it that Stark
came to his death from a pistol bullet
fired by the younger Jenkins. How
the wound upon the face of Stark, re-
sembling the effect of a blow from an
X or Ratchet has not yet been ex-
planned. States Attorney Allen prob
ably arrived closely to the real man
ner of Stark's death when he asked
the younger Jenkins in the course of
his cross examination, whether it was
not a fact that he had first shot at
Stark and missed him, that the old
man had then struck him with an axe
or Ratchet and knocked him down, and
that he Qra) had not then fired the
second shot and killed Stark. The
witness denied the statement, of
course.

TO DIE SEPTEMBER IA.
(From Mondays DAily.)

Before Judge Winchester in the dis
trict court this afternoon, Ira o. Jen-
kins, convicted of the crime of murder,
stood before receiving his sentence of
death and proclaimed himself innocent
of the murder for which he had been
convicted. Seldom has a man con-
victed of murder and about to receive
the death sentence in court stood with
greater firmness and composure, and
spoken as clearly and cody. With
out a tremor in his voice, and with no
apparent nervousness, except for a lit
tie paleness and a biting of his lips
and moustache as he awaited the SEN
tence of the court, he declared himself
innocent. There was a distinct ele-
ment of the dramatic in the scene.
After Judge Winchester had stated the
fact of his trial and conviction, with
the penalty fixed by the jury, he asked
the defendant if he had anything to
say or any legal cause to advance why
sentence of death should not he pro-
nounced upon him. There was an in
terval of silence, that seemed much
greater than it was, from the circum-
stances, and the breathless eagerness
with which everyone in the court room
awaited the statement of the convicted
a He stood with his head bowed
as though earnestly rejecting, and
then, after a preliminary statement to
the court, said: Before God, l stand
here innocent Of the crime for which l
have been found guilty" Then after
a moment Of silence he said: 81 be-
lieve that is ALL" Sentence was then
pronounced.
Court convened promptly at 2 o'clock,
with the court room crowded. JuGS>,s
Winchester directed Sheriff Bogue to
bring the prisoner into court and he
walked in and stoou facing the judge.
Judge Winchester stated the fact of
his arrest, and preliminary examina-
ton. That an information had been
lodged against him charging him with
murder in the first degree and that up
on that information he had been given
a fair and impartial trial, and found
guilty Of murder by twelve men con-
stituting the jury. AS required by
the law of this state, the jury fixed the
sentence and they had fixed the death
penalty. He asked the prisoner if he
had anything to say.
During the statement of the judge,
Jenkins. stood, his eyes rowing about
the court room, biting his lips and
gnawing his moustache a little nerv-
ously. There was a considerable pause
after the inquiry had been made of
him, and then he said he did not think
a just verdict had been pronounced,
although, he said If he were guilty of
the crime he preferred to go to the
scaffold than to go to the penitentiary
for life. AS had been stated he was
a young man in the prime of life. His
father was an old man who had not
many more years to live. He did not
believe his father would see him exc
cuted without making a confession OF
the murder. and enabling him Qra) to
proclaim his innocence Of the crime, OF

Obituary..
HENRY WARNER.

Mr.. Henry Warner peacefully passed
from earth at his home near this city at
3 o'clock last Friday afternoon, aged
nearly II years. He had been in failing
health for the past year or more with
general breaking down of his whole sys-
tenn, his mind of late being seriously i'm
was taken to California with view that
he might obtain some relief from a
change Of climate He returned a few
weeks since having received no benefit
from the trip while severe colds con-
tracted on the journey home brought on
pneumonia to Mrs. Warner, ending ia
tally in her case in a very few days. Mr..
Warner also took to his bed about that
time from which he was never able to
arise. q.
Henry Warner was born in Verona,

early life was spent in that locality, hav-
ing for some years engaged in transpor-
tation along the Erie Canal. He was

They came to Wisconsin in 1856 and
bought his present homestead in the

to as one Of the substantial farmers of
the town and enjoyed the fullest conf
dence and esteem of the entire commu-
nifty. For several terms he was chair
man of the town board of Albion and
had refused to accept other offices of
