hymns. They halted in front of the
the saloons they had smashed and
held prayer meetings.

THE PATERSON VERDICT.
The Three Defendants We're Found
Guilty of Murder in the
Second Degree.
IT MAS REALLY A COMPROMISE VERDICT
One of the Counsel for the risone
is Said to Consider 1t a Victory
for the Defense-An Appeal, ON

Taken.

guilty of murder in the second de-
gree"

colleagues, and looked into the strain
ing eyes of Walter McAlister, Andrew

der which they had been laboring.
Word was sent out al 7:15 p. m. that
the jury was ready to hand in its YER
dict. Judge Dixon appeared a few
minutes later and the prisoners were
led in.
A Half Hour of Suspense.
What must nave been a half hour
of terrible suspense for them fol-
lowed. Their counsel did not arrive
until eight o'clock. When Lawyers
Michael and Charles Dunn did appear
the jurymen were led in. The pris-
oners were slightly pale as they stood
looking at the jurors. Campbell was
the most resolute of the three. Traces
of emotion could be detected in the
faces of the others.
After the jury had been dismissed,
one of them said that the first ballot
showed that five men stood for \
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree, six for the second degree, and
one man stood for acquittal. The
five who stood for murder in the first
degree soon came around, but the
man who stood for acquittal was fixed
in his opinion. The evidence was then
carefully weighed, which consumed
over three hours, and the n man
then agreed with the rest.
After the verdict McAlister said to a
constable:
How They Took 1t.
''There were a lot of lies told be-
fore they could give US that"
Campbell said: my God"
When they entered the jail they
rushed to Kerr's cell. McAlister ex-
claimed: Second degree"
MY God" said Kerr. "That's
tough, too. I wonder will I get the
same."
Jennie's Mother Quoted.
The mother of the murdered girl
said, weeping:
MY darling Jennie is avenged at
last. The killing was not so had, but
butch. it was awful, it was awful.
We hoped they would receive the
same fate as they gave Jennie, but
that could not bring her back"
The State is Content.
Prosecuting-Attorney Emley said:
1.-The state is content because the
state and its representatives have
done their full duty. Personally there
has never been vindictiveness in my
heart"
An Appeal VIII be Taken.
One of the counsel for the prison.
ers said that he considered the ver-
dict a victory for the defense. Michael
Dunn, counsel for Campbell an Death,
said that the case would be appealed
on error. 1t may be IS months before
a final adjudication of the case. Pros
