SECOND DEGREE.
Uniontown Murder Case Ends
in that Verdict.

OPrisoner Cengratulates the Sheriff Over
Having Escaped another Bad Job
Jury Has Little Trouble in agreeing.
Frew will go to the Penitentiary for
Killing his Brother-in.law.
UNIoNTowN, Dec. 1.-THE jury in
the Everson homicide case render
ed a verdict, finding Harry Frew gull
ty in the second degree of the murder
of Norman III. King on September l.,
1900. The verdict contained a recon-
mendation to the court for mercy.
The case was given to the jury at
6:15 p. M, with instructions that the
bell ring when they agreed. At lit
tie after 8 o'clock the bell rang.
Judge Reppert shortly entered the
court room, followed by Attorney Nc
Donald for the prosecution and Part
ridge and D. w. Henderson represent
ing the defendent. Sheriff McCor-
mick soon after arrived with the pris-
oner, when the court ordered the jury
into court. AS they fled into the
room the prisoners eyes rested anx-
iously upon each of them. The list
was called over by the clerk and all
answered to their names. To the
question asked them by Clerk Shep-
pard il they had agreed upon verdict
| the foreman Rev. G. j. Gongaware,
\replied that they had.
= "How say you? Is the prisoner
guilty of the murder and felony
whereof he stands indicted, or not
guilty?n
The foreman replied: "Guilty of
murder in the second degree"
The prisoner gave no perceptible ex-
preston although he was hoping and
rather expected an acquittal. At the
time the verdict was taken his wife
and her father, j. M Rowe, were
present in court but did not display
any emotion. The sheriff then took
the prisoner back to jail, and on the
way over he told the sheriff that it
was not SO bad as first degree YER
dict and that it saved him (the sher-
iff) another bad job.
The children OF the prisoner, while
the jury was out of the box temporar-
ely, went up to him and babe him
good bye, which seemed to affect him
very much.
The jury had no great difficulty in
agreeing. The verdict meets general
approval.

Wanted to See Her Burn.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va. Dec. H.
Willie Baum, a boy of eight years,
deliberately poured a can of kero-
sene On his little sister, aged four,
yesterday evening. and then set fire
to her with match just to see her
burn. The screams of the child
soon attracted the attention of her
parents who rushed to the rescue
in putting as soon asposslble and
succeeded out the flames before she
was burn to death. The mother
reached her first and tearing the
burning clothing from the child
saved her life, but not before mother
and child had been terribly burned
The father was so enraged at the
occurrence that he seized the little
boy and started with him at once to
the police station to lfave him lock
ed up, but was prevented from doing
so by the neighbors, who were at
tracted by the screams of the little
girl The only reason that can be
given for the boys conduct Is that
he wanted to see her burn.

MAY COME HOME.
Philippine Volunteers are Feel
ing Good Over Prospect

or Being Sent Home Before very Long.
Sergeant Desmoines TIT Writes that
They are Ready TO Start Morgan
town has Number Of Men Over there
They are Welcome TO Come Back.
4 letter has been received from
Desmoines Utt and he states that
preparations are being made to bring
the troops in the Philippines home.
This trip is ready to be made except
that the men haven't the warm cloth
ing that will be required in coming
| from the tropics home. Requisition
has been made for this and with this
exception everything is ready for
the start As soon as the Winter
clothing comes they will be sent
home.
The men hope TO be sent home by
the Northern route by way of China
and other points of interest. They
much prefer this route to the other
one over which they went in geing
to the seat OF war. Their wishes in
the matter will probably have but
little weight with those who are
bossing the job.
It Is thought that all Of the vol
unteers will be sent home together
or nearly so. Their terms of enlist
ment expires on the first of July
1901. The government has the
right under the law to keep them for
six months after that date il their
services are needed. However if the
hopes and beliefs Of the men prove
to be correct they will come home
sooner than the date of their enlist
ment will expire.
Morgantown is well represented
in the Philippines and has Captain
Casteel, Lieutenant White, Sergeant
ID. Ut, Bandmaster w. A. Mestre-
Eat, Bandsman Arthur Dorsey, Alex
ander Malcolm and John Shay Be-
sides these there are number Of
others who are known here among
them being Captain Standiford and
others.
AS fast as new regiments are
raised and sent over the volunteers
who are there now will come home.
No provision has as yet been made
by Congress for regiments to take
their places and it will fool many
people ii them men come back very
soon.
