The Stark Murder Case.

The jury in the Stark murder case at
Bismarck, came in May 26 with YER
dict of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and fixed the penalty at death. Ira,
Oliver jenkins, the young man who had
been tried, received the sentence with
out demonstrations, and the community
feel that the verdict is just one. The
testimony OF his father was strong feat
ure of the case for the prosecution, al
though it is probable that without that
testimony the jury would have rendered
a similar verdict. AT the same time,
there are many people who believe that
the old man was implicated in the COM
mission of the crime, and they scarcely
like to see him go scot free. The
theory of the prosecution was that the
story of the old man is the true one
the son killed the man Stark while the
old man was in the yard looking after
the stock If the last theory is the cor
rect one, then the old man is in no sense
an accomplice, and is innocent of the
murder. Whether or not he is punish
able for having tried to cover up the
crime after its commission, is another
matter.
On Monday afternoon, May 2Sth, the
young man was sentenced to death.
The date for the hanging was set for
Friday, September I4th. Under the law
the date for the hanging must be at least
three months after the passage of the
sentence. Before the sentence was
passed the young man was asked by
Judge Winchester if he had any reason
to give why sentence should not be
passed, and he made the following re-
marks:
l don't believe you gave me fair trial
by sentencing me to death, though if
was guilty would sooner 60 to the scat
fold than to prison, though as Attorney
Allen has stated, my father is old, and he
has not many more years to live. am
young man, in the prime of life, and l
don't think his heart is so hard that he
can pass off this earth without confess
ing to that crime. Therefore you give
me show to proclaim my innocence of
that crime. Before God stand here to-
day an innocent man of that murder,
though | will have another Judge, that
judge will be God, when we all stand be-
fore the judgment bar, and there | will
be pronounced innocent of that murder.
There are good many people who
think that perhaps some of the facts con-
nected with the case have not yet
come to light and it may be that between
this date and September I4th the public
may learn something additlonal.-Man-
dan Pioneer.
James M. Jenkens, father of the con-
demned boy is charged with murder in
the first degree and will be held in Jail
until after the execution of Ira. He says
that he is not guilty and does not fear
trial.
In speaking Of the Ira Jenkins SEN
tence, the Bismarck Tribune says:
If the judgment of the court is carried
out on the day now set, Hans Thrope,
the wife murderer at Minot, having been
sentenced to die on that day. If these
two sentences are carried out they will
be the first cases in the state in which
there have been executions on the ver-
vict Of a jury. The only legal hangings
in the state have been those of Bonn
berger and J. w. Cole, and in both of
these cases the defendants pleaded
guilty.
