BURNZ FOUND GUILTY..
MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE THE
VERDICT SENTENCED FOR LIFE.

Edgar c. BurnZ who shot and killed Herbert
B. Fellows. station agent and postmaster at
Scarsdale N. Y, on December 4, 1899, was found
guilty of murder in the second degree in the
Supreme Court in White Plains last night
Justice Keogh at once sentenced Burnz to i'm
prisonment for life.
The jury began to deliberate at 7:3O o. m
few minutes after o'clock the Jury returned
to the courtreoEn and the foreman asked:
IF we find Burnz guilty of murder in the
second degree will he be imprisoned for Iife?'
He will. under the law replied the Justice
The jury. after celebrating ten minutes
longer returned with verdict
The prisoner was calm, and not a muscle Of
his face moved when the verdict was given and
the sentence pronounced.
The earlier part of the day was spent in sum
ming up by the lawyers. Ex-Judge Isaac N
Mills, for the defence. spoke for nearly four
hours. District Attorney George c. Andrews
argued against the plea of insanity. set I'D by
the defence. Justice Keogh then charged the
jury.
On the night Of the murder Burnz appeared at
the railroad station shortly before O'Clock. the
hour for closing. Three young farmers were in
the station talking to Mr.. Fellows but they soon
went away, and Burnz was left alone with the
agent. Not long after o'clock Mr. Fellows and
Burnz left the station together. Mr. Fellows
carried a grip in which were $50, the receipts of
the station and postoffice. They were only
short distance from Mr.. Fellows's home when
Burnz suddenly drew revolver and shot Eel
lows in the head. Then he seized the grip and
fed
Mr. Fellows's wife when her husband did not
return home became alarmed and told her
neIghbOrs. A searching party was organized
and Mr.. Fellows's body found in a cIump of
bushes by the roadside. He had fallen on the
boardwalk when shot. and had afterward
crawled across the road to the spot where his
body was found.
Burnz took late train at Tuckahoe for this
city. having previously rfed the grip of its con-
tents and then thrown it away On the night
following the murder Burnz was arrested in the
Madison Square Garden where a six day bicycle
race was in progress.
Burnzs defence was plea that he was in
sane. Evidence was presented to show that his
father and mother were first cousins. that his
granduncle took his life while insane that he
had concussion of the BRAIN a sunstroke and
many diseases. and was a confirmed cigarette
smoker,

ODELL SEES THE LEADERS.
POLICE LEGISLATION DISCUSSED WITH
UPSTATE SENATOR'S.

| The final conference of Republican leaders for
! the year took place at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
| yesterday, when Governor-elect Odell, State
Chairman Dunn, Senator Platt Senator Ellis
worth. leader of the Republicans in the Senate,
and Senator Stranahan. chairman of the Cities
/ Committee anu Senator Brown, of Watertown,
met in Mr.. Platts room to talk over the many
things which will take place next week st the
State Capitol. The Senate committees and the
proposed police bill for this city the fruit
ful topics of discussion for hour or two. and
the upstate Senators went into the merits of
the bill thoroughly The provisions of the meas
ure have been too often referred to in these
columns to require further explanation. Gov
ernor-elect OdelPs admission Friday night
that he intended to recommend single headed
police bill indicates clearly that the bill which
ex-Justice Cohen drew a few weeks ago will
have the practically solid support of the Repub-
lican organization, and become a law at en-
early date. 1t will be introduced early in the
session and hurried through both houses. As
both houses will adjourn Wednesday for a
week. the bill is not likely to reach Mayor Van
Wyck before the middle of January. The Mayor
will have fifteen days in which to consider it,
and if he vetoes it, it will have to be repassed by
both houses. There is reason to believe that
Mayor Van Wyck will keep the bill in his posses
sion as long the law allows. 1t is understood
away with the existing Commission and Chief
Devery.
Among Mr.. OdelTs callers yesterday were Rob
ert c. Norris the new County Committee pres-
dent; Senator Brown, of Watertown; Walter B.
Atterbury, of Brooklyn: ex-senator Sweet, of
Seneca County; George w. Aldridge, of Roch-
ester, and host of local politicians
Mr.. OdeH left the city for his home, in New
burg, at !:30 o'clock. State Chairman Dunn
will stay in town over Sunday. Miss Dunn is
here with some friends, and the Colonel is never
happier than when he is with his daughter.
Mr. Atterbury Mr.. Oden yesterday about
a bill which will be introduced by Kings County
legislators providing for the election of police
magistrates in Brooklyn Six of the eight magiS-
trates there Republicans, and their terms
expire May 1 next. Mr.. Atterburys argu-
ment is that there is just much reason for
electng the magistrates there is for elect
ing the three grades above them. If the law
the successors to eight magistrates, and all will
be Democrats. The salary is $4,000 a year, and
there is considerable patronage connected with
the places. Mr.. Atterbury says that the Repub-
licans ought to have half of the police magis-
trates, at least, and will have them if the pro-
posed change is made. A bill effecting the
change passed both houses last winter. and was
sent to the Mayor, who vetoed it. The Demo-
Gratis used money 20 prevent its repassage after
it was sent back to Albany. 1t is believed that
the bill can be forced through this year. The
measure will include Richmond and Queens in
its operations

KITCHENER REPORTS ANOTHER FIGHT.
WITH SEVERE BRITISH LOSS.

London, Dec 29-GeneraI Kitchener, tele-
graphing from Pretoria, under date of Friday.
December Is sends a summary Of the number
Of attacks made by the Beers at various points
The only important incident was an attack on a
baggage column near Greylingstad A company
with a pompom made sortie from Greylingstad
and drove off the Beers. Captains Radclyne
and Harvest were wounded, eight men were
killed, twenty-seVen were wounded and twenty
were reported missing.
London, Dec. 30.-Last nights cable dispatches
from South Africa add little or nothing to the
information concerning the situation, though the
general trend of events seems to show that the
Britishers are regaining the ground recently
lost. special from Naauwpoort, dated Decem-
ber %, reports that Colonel De Lisle defeated
Hertzog eighteen miles west of De Aar, captur-
ing a number OF wagons and releasing the
prisoners captured at Philipstown. Lieutenant
Colonel GrenfeI forced back Kritzlnger toward
venterstad. Both commanders are in des-
perate plight and will probably never re-cross
the Orange River.
A stsnderton dispatch. dated December %.
says it is estimated that 1000 Beers were en-
gagged in the operations in North Natal hoping TO
break the British line of communication. This
plan failed. and the Beers were driven of in
each case with more or less loss. their casualties
in the last day or two numbering fifty while
the British casualties were slight.
According TO a johannesburg dispatch Of Fri
days date, General French occupied Venters-
dOrp that day without opposition. This place
being great Geographic centre has been much
used by the Beers for the dissemination Of in

LchtenbuFg and Zeerust gives the British a
strong hold upon this part Of the country.

NEW COMBINATION PROB4BLE.
IRON AND STEEL TUBE INDUSTRY WILL
BE UNDER ITS CONTROL

1t was learned last night from a relative of
a member of the firm of Moore & Schley, bank
ers, No. so Broadway, that Elverton r. Chap
man. also of that firm, is at present in Pitts
burg, negotiating for the formation of a COM
pany which will aim to gain control of the steel
and iron tube industry of the United States
Mr.. Chapman has recently been in Philadelphia
and has practically won over John w. Gates
w. L. Ell1ins, p. A B. Widener and Thomas
Dolan-the three latter being we'll known Phila-
delphia hnanciers-to the enterprise.
For the last three weeks men who are at the
head Of the largest iron and steel concerns in
the country have been seen in close communion
with w. w. Gibbs. of Philadelphia, and
this fact has from time to time given rise to
various rumors as to the formation of
organization. Mr.. Gibbs started yesterday for
Pittsburg TO confer with Mr.. Chapman Yes
terday two representatives of Mr.. Chapman left
on the Campana to inspect the patent process
of Perrins & Co, Ltd. of England, for the
manufacture of steel and iron tubes. Promoters
of the English company have visited Mr.. Chap
man. and if their representations meet with the
approval of the two American experts a COM
many will Immediately be formed for the pur-
chase of the exclusive American rights of the
Perrins process. According TO the facts
given out last night, the manufacture of tubing
bv the English process will be reduced in cost
nearly 80 per cent, which will mean revou-
ton of the tube industry in the United States
The experts sent over by Mr.. Chapman will
return the latter part of next month. If their
report is favorable-and it is predicted that it
will be-the new company will be Immediately
organized and Incorporated. A capital of $40
100000 of common and preferred stock has al
ready been offered by private interests for the
support of the enterprise. Public subscriptions
will not be solicited
