The Shaws' Tried
Frank Shaw, the young game poacher,
who, with his father, broke out of Wind.
'or County jail on April %, and who
afterwards held sheriff posse at BAY,
was found guilty of murder in the first
1egdree for the killing Of Deputy Sheriff
Holman OF White River Junction, by the
ury last Wednesday. Counsel will carry
ne case to the supreme court in October.
The trial of Frank Shaw for murder
was brought about by the fact that wit
lesses who were in the sheriff's posse
nat had surrounded the men, saw him
discharge his rifle in the
direction of Deputy Hoffman. The Dur.
'uit OF the Shaws will be known in this
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1900-07-18

state as the most exciting manhunt for
many years, and it is one of the few cases
where bloodhounds were brought into
use for trailing services.
The Shaws were good woodsmen and
practically got their livelihood by hunt
ing and woodchopping. 1t has been
claimed that the younger Shaw had no
intent to shoot to kill at the time Deputy
Hoffman fell and for that season the
sintiment appears to be divided as to the
verdict. The jury was charged by Judge
Munson just before noon and it was six
hours before verdict was reached.
The convincing argument of the prose
cutlon appeared to be that of Lawyer
Stlckney, who maintains that the
younger Shaw was in full possession of
his faculties up to and after the death of
Deputy Hoffman, and that his every act
showed deliberate defiance of the law
and a determination to sacrifice life if
necessary to secure freedom.
Dustin Shaw, the father, was sentenced
by Judge Munson for two offences to
winch he had pleaded guilty, impeding
an officer and breaking jail. For the
former he was sentenced to not less than
two and a half nor more than three
years IN states prison, and for the latter
to not less than two nor more than two
and halt years.
