The Patterson Case.
From The Review:

From the Review:
Miss Thorn made hesitating, unsat.
isfactory and weak witness for the state,
and her long, tedious, direct and indirect
examination brought out only substan-
italy the facts heretofore testified to at
preliminary examinations.
The principa. testimony againes Pat.
terson was alleged statements he made
TO the railroad employers. Conductor
Minkler, who went back on the train the
day following the Thorn episode, II. W.
Stewart, station agent at ComstocK Oh se.
HedrIck, tgack-walker at DIVIDE; 7. j.
Brown, brakeman, testified to admis.
sions Of guilt, more or less direct, made
by the defendant. IL seems that the
trainmen made up purse Of t6 and told
him to 20 10 Latham and see the girls
| parents and smooth the affair over, even
II he was compelled 10 marry the girl.
Patterson, himself testified that the 9TH
or members Of the train crew told him
| he would be mobbed II he went 10 Rose
burg, and that he had better marry the
girl whether be was guilty or not. That
they all had families and could not do
so. He declared that he had no cT.min-
al relations with the girl, but was scared
into doing the suspi ious things he sub.
sequently did.
Judge Hamilton charged the lETy
briefly, and his instructions were regard
ed 30 perfectly fair by the defense, and
II eitker way, more favorable 10 the de.
fendaBt than the Etate in constituting the
law in the case. The jury retired about
2 O'Clock this afternoon and one hour
later brought in verdict OF guilty as
charged. All voted for conviction on
the 6rst informal ballot. Tnis was con
Siderable OF Q surprise, as most people
who took IN interest In the case expects
ed hung jury more than anvthiBg,
owing TO the doubtful character Of much
Of the evidence The sentence will be
from 8 to 20 yeare.
