had v1ciously outraged Clara Pond, a
well known young woman of this city

California, was tortured by mob until
his bleeding body became a charred
mass of bones and scared flesh When
first taken from the Jail he was tied bv
the neck to a rope and dragged through
the principal streets at a horses heels
with the steel shoes striking him in the
face at every step. Then he was hung
to a lamp post and shot several times

frenzy of the crowd and he was finally
into Market square, where by liberal

nearby merchants they were enabled to

tied to a quickly irnprovised stake.
This all happened in the evening but
the coroner was slow in acting on this

Defendants Think They Impressed
Jury Favorably.

Paterson, N J., Jan. 17--There was a
large crowd gathered around the court
house today eagerly awaiting the close
of the trial of Walter c. McAllister,
VIM. A. Death and Andrew J. Campbell
Tor the murder of Jennie BOsschieter a
young silk mill employe. 1t was gen

reached by the jury before evening.
1ne accused men were apparently
more hopeful this morning than they
have been at any time since the trial
began. Before they were taken from
the jail to the court room they talked
together and seemed to entertain the
belief that their testimony had had a
favorable effect upon the jury. and that
tonight or tomorrow at the latest would
see them once more at liberty.
As soon as court opened Assistant
Prosecutor Shaw arose and began his
address to the jury. He said that a kill

a felony constituted murder in the first

quite lS years old. She is entitled to the
presumption that she was a virtuous
honest and upright girl. There is no ev-
ldence to the contrary. Her physical
condition was such that she must have
been able to take two or three drinks
without bad effect"
The prosecutor then proceeded with a
brief survey Of the incidents Of the av-

In conclusion Mr.. Shaw said:
