PEN|7ENT|ARY NON
 FACES JIM WILLIAMS Verdict Found is Murder In
 tine Second Degree. JURY IS OUT 15 HOURS
JURY IS OUT 15 HOURS
Mildest Sentence Possible is Fifteen Yoars Imprisonment -- Kitohitoo Is Placed on Trial for the Kill ing of Florence Horton.

Jim Williams was yesterday morn ing found guilty of murder in the sec ond degree by the jury of twelve men. The verdict created little surprise and was expected by many who had heard the testimony. Especially when the jury had failed to report verdict when court convened in the nor ming, the conviction became settled that the verdict would be something less than murder in the first degree. The jury was out fifteen hours. When all the circumstances are considered, the verdict is generally regarded as vic- tory for the defense. The penalty for murder in the second degree is fixed at not less than fifteen years in the peni- tentiary, the extreme being at the dis erection of the judge.
 At 9 a. m. yesterday morning the court began the examination of jurors to try Kitchitoo for the murder of Florence Horton. The panel of tales men from which the sele ction was made is largely of Juneauites, conse- quently there was not the same diffi- culty encountered in getting accept able jurors as was met with in the Williams case. Twenty-eight jurors were examined before twelve were selected. The jury comprises John Beck. G. w. Harvey, R. R. Hubbard, H. Robbins, Fred Henson, Jerry Eicherly, E. E. Smith, H. w. Price, Jerry Cashen, J. c. Johnson, Joseph Snow and A. Stevens.
 The same witnesses are relied upon by both parties in this case as testified in the Williams case, and the testi- mony will be largely repetition of that.
 Only two witnesses were on the stand during the day, MT. and Mrs. Sessions, testified as to the remains of the victims.
 The court adjourned at 6 o'clock un- til g o'clock Monday morning. In the meantime two bailiffs have them in charge.

PUBLIC REHEARSAL OF PORT
LAND FESTIVAL CHORUS.
A very large and musioally appreciative
audience warmly greeted the Portland
Festival Chorus at their public rehearsal
which was given last evening In the Y.
M. @. A. hall. Every seat IN the house
was taken while many were standing.
The chorus is larger than ever before be-
ing augmented by fresh new voices which
edd fullness to the singing, but there was
laok of well marked rythm and shad-
ing. Inc pianissimos were In no degree
perfect and there was a clumsy tread
&hax. ell ha hoan Itch ri
ping delicac y. This was particularly
noticeable in Evening" and
in the bridal Chorus.'' The fault
seemed to lie chiefly In the bass section,
for the BASES marred an otherwise tine
rendering of the old yet ever new
.Soldiers Farewell" by not responding
readily to the beat OF Conductor Cain.
The ladies' were deservedy enoored on
their exquisite rendering or the ''Lost
Chord, [" and the whole chorus was at Its
best in Untold" and the "SoI Hers
Chorus,' from ''Fanst" on which were
displayed breadth and solidlty OF tone.
Mr.. Carleton was In fine voice and es-
peciAlly happy In his rendering OF
Sohubert's "Sersnade." His sympathetic
tones yielded themselves TO the sentiment
of ths music, and his Interpretation was
beyond criticism. Miss Lang's mszzo
soprano was heard to the best advantage
and she was enthusiastically recalled
The most artistic work was Shat of the
Mandelssohn quartette. The lights and
shades were splendidly brought cut and in
response to an en- cora on the first number
they sang an arrangement OF DIR. Ban
Jonson's Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" A second encore called out a
negro lullaby In which Miss Varnsy'f
velvet tones were very effectively heard.
The composition by Button, is a besuti-
full effort aud quits new 10 Portland
audiences. Ths quartstte really showed
the finest artistic training In ths almose
fanltIess rendition of this difficnlt num-
ber.
On the whole the ooncsrt was success
as Conduotar Cain can be congratulated
on the general excellent showing made
by his chorus.

the cast was Dan Packard as Tommy

the favor of his audience and kept 1t to

language. He played In serio-comic
vein which amused but never tired. His
nrst song "Tompkins" caught the crowd
but the loudest applause followed his
topical song "That's All, land he was re-
