Waterloo, Nov. 1.-THE arguments in
the Hoot trial were concluded and the [
case given to the jury late yesterday
afternoon and early this morning the
Jury returned a verdict of guilty. The
trial OF Hoot was the first case Of a /
long docket, SO that it will be some time
before he receives his sentence. The
maximum penalty for the offense Of |
which Hoot is convicted is ten years
in the penitentiary. There is another
charge yet to be preferred against him
tho it can not be forstold definitely If |
he will be tried on it. This in the
charge OF placing dynamite in an in
habited dwelling. 1t is punishable by
q term Of twenty-five years in the pen
itentiary.
The verdict was what the people ex-
pected. Those who have followed the
trial and heard the evidence from day
to day expected nothing else When the
case was given to the jury at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon the people
said: They will find him guilty. !" The
jury retired to deliberate and the spec
tators went home for their suppers.
Afterwards they came back and re-
| manned in the vicinity OF the court
house until q late hour. expecting every
moment that the announcement would
be made that the jury had reached a
verdict. But the news did not come.
Word was passed around that the jury
stood eleven for convictions and one for
acquittal. and IT was Thought that pos
sibly verdict might not be reached
until morning. When the jury
knocked at the door of the court room
at ITO this morning there were but
three persons waiting, the sheriff, the
bailiff and the correspondent for the
Times-Rapublican Quickly the Judge
and attorneys for the prosecution and
defense We're summoned. the prisoner
brought in and several spectators, hast
| lily notified, reappeared. When the ver-
dict was read the prisoner betrayed no
| emotion. There was the same stolid
look Of indifference and good nature
| that he has exhibited all thru the trial.
He has never been ruff1ed. He has been
| a model prisoner, the sheriff says, since
he was brought here for trial, and
since the case was called he has been
in all respects model defendant.
The case Of Hoot is familiar to your
readers. Briefly, he was convicted of
attempting to murder his wife by send
ing her dynamite disguised as a pres
ient, in order that he might get her life
insurance and other property. The in-a
fernal machine or package Of dynamite
fortunately for Mrs. Hoot, failed TO ey-
plode when she attempted, to open IL
| When exploded by officers it was shown
to have contained enough dynamite to
have shattered any building in the city.
