HOWARD IS GUILTY.
CONVICTED OF COMPLETELY IN
THE GOEBEL assassin
ALTON.
Jury Fixes the Penalty at Death by
Hanging-scenes at the Trial
Fear-New Trial to be Asked For
by His Attorney.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 26.-The jury
in the case of James Howard, on trial
for alleged completely in the Goebel
assassination, retired at $40 and re-
turned with its verdict at 9:i5.
The courtroom was crowded with
spectators almost trembling with sup
pressed excitement. Foreman Crutch-
er of the jury passed the written YER
dict up to the clerk. Deputy Clerk Eli
oft read the verdict, which found the
defendant guilty, and fixed his punish
ment at death.
Howard occupied a seat by his at
torney. He did not display the least
anxiety and apparently was uncon-
cerned.
The verdict was a surprise, as the
general public was led to believe that
the jury was divided on the question
of guilt and innocence of the defend
ant.
1t developed that the delay in reach
ing the verdict was over the degree of
punishment, some of the jurors favor
ing the life Imprisonment, while 9th,
ers stood out for the death penalty
and finally won their associates over.
Many Ballots.
One of the jurors, after the jury had
been discharged, stated to the Asso-
ciated Press hat a number of ballots
We're taken, but the first ballot result
ed in a unanimous vote in favor of a
verdict of guilty. After that the bal
lotswerc as to the degree of punish
ment, and on the ballots ten members
voted for life imprisonment. This was
while the jurors were in the jury room
yesterday afternoon. The first ballot
today resulted in a verdict, the two
jurors who had voted for life impris-
onment gave in to the majority and
voted for the death penalty.
After the verdict had been render
ed Howard was remanded to Jail,
where he was followed by his bosom
friend, John G. White, who seemed al
most paralyzed by the verdict. How
ards checks also blanched as he stood
up to accompany the jailcr back to the
cell. The jury which tried the case
was divided politically, nine demo-
Gratis, one republican and two anti
Goebel democrats.
To Apply for a New Trial.
Theverdict of the jury, it is believ-
ed, vas based largely upon the de-
struction of Towards alibi, upon
which he depended solely.
One of the jurors admitted that the
failure of Howard to bring any of the
occupants of the executive buildings
on January 80 to testify hat he was
not there was considered by the jury
as an indication that he was there.
The testimony of Gaines as to seeing
Howard run out of the grounds and al
so of Stubblefeld, who swore that
Howard confessed the killing a few
days after the murder, were the other
principal points upon which the jury
relied.
Howard's attorney will at once ap
ply for a new trial, basing the motion
on alleged expressions of several of
the jurors made prior to the trial
which were hostile to the defendant.
1t will be charged a certain juror made
the statement that all of the suspects
under arrests ought to be hung, and
and hat he particularly specified
Howard as IL upon whom the death
penalty ought to be pronounced.

MIR. KLEIN'S NEW HAIR.

Happy Experience Of a Well-Known
Citizen of This City.
Charles S. Klein has every reason to
feel happy. He has had an experience
recently that is worth repeating. Mr..
Klein says: "My scalp itched so from
dandruff that I thought l would go
wild. Herpicide stopped the itching and
cured the dandruff. 1t also stopped
my hair from falling out, and it is
bringing a new crop of hair"
Dandruff is a germ disase, and Her
picide is the only hair preparation
that will kill the germ. 1t is also a
delightful dressing for the hair. Pro.
