THE PENALTY FIXED

About $3.50 last evening the. jury

decision, and the court was SO III.
formed. The defendant ami the r..
spective counsel were sent for and
when they had arrived the jury filed
into court and took their SEATS.
The clerk was instructed to call the
jury and had barely completed doing
so when the electric lights went out,
leaving the room i'll total darkness.
This was looked upon as a bad omen
for Patton by the su2erstitious, but
the event proved that signs, omens
and predictions are sometimes fic-
tons. When the lights failed, Deputy
Sheriff O'Neil, vino had charge ct The
prisoner took up position immedi-
ately behind him, and the other Off
GERS kept lighting matches while the
court bailiff hustled for lamp. 1t was
weird scene, and must have added
to the nervousness Of the aceuscc.
Before a lamp was procured the
lights came on again and the verdict
was handed to the court, who looked
it over and in turn handed il to the
clerk, who made the proper endorse
ment, and then reati it as follows:
1--WE, the jury in the above entitled
cause, find the defendant guilty of
murder in the second degree, and fix
the punishment ut ten>years in the
penetentiary."
| After the verdic-- had been annonnc
ed, the defendants attorney asked that
the jury be polled, and each and all
answered that the above was theil
true verdict.
Patton never changed muscle, but

Mrs. Fanny l.. Vinton gave delight
full whist party last Monday evening,
when she entertained the Home club and
many invite guests from the village and
vicinity. There were ten tables, the

sold her farm and is to move away soon.
she takes with her the best wishes OF
neighbors and friends OF the past four
teen years and the sincere regard ofall.
