them. He Furthermore said the jury
would also like to have a portion Of
Mrs. Lees testimony read, specifying
that part where she told about turning
over money to her husband. The
court related the testimony as he re
membered it, which brought out a re-
mark from counsel for the defense
about the court doing so, to which
Judge Knowles replied that under the
law the court had that right, the
stenographer not being present.
With these instructions and re-
hearsal of testimony the jury retired
again and remained out until the YER
dict was finally submitted.

JURY HOLDS
Them GUILTY
SAD CHRISTMAS FOR LEE AND
GARVIN.
Will ASK FOR new TRIAL
Defendants In Custody Of United
States Marshal Pending
Formal Sentence.
WILL ASK FOR new TRIAL

AICer DelnS out l4 hours Tie jury III
the case of the United States VS..
Samuel Garvin and Robert 3. Lee,
both of this city, tried in the federal
court at Helena, returned last We'd
nesday afternoon at $3.50 with a ver-
dict of guilty as charged" The de-
PENDANTS, with one of their counsel,
e. Warren Toole, were present and
after the jury had been polled, were
remanded into the custody of the
United States marshal and by him
turned over to the sheriff of Lewis and
Clarke county, who placed them in
Jail.
Mr.. Toole gave notice of a motion
for a new trial and court adjourned
until January 6, when sentence is to
be pronounced. Although not known,
it is expected that the usual curse
will be followed and after the sentence
has been passed a stay of proceedings
will be granted, pending submission of
the motion for a %rehearing.
The foreman Of the jury was G. C.
Wylie and he informed the bailiff in
attendance at 4 o'clock that they
had agreed, but over an hour elapsed
before the Judge and attorneys arriv-
ed in court.
While the anguish and disappoint-
ment that they felt must have been
intense, the defendants took the turn
of affairs bravely and had nothing
to say, apparently not being entirely
without hope, as the last resort has
not yet been reached. The members
of the jury were equally silent when
approached by reporters for informa-
ton as to what had been going on, in
the jury room. One Of them is quoted
as saying that they had agreed among
themselves not to say anything and
had sealed that agreement with a
pledge and he believed that for the
present at least nobody would know
how the b~alloting stood.
During the forenoon Of Wednesday
the jury returned into court and asked
for further instructions as to what con-
stitutes a reasonable doubt. Judge
Knowles gave the desired information
by defining a reasonable doubt, as un-
derstood in law. "a reasonable
doubt" he said, 'is generally said to
be one that would influence a man in
his own most grave and important
transactions. So, after considering all
the evidence in a case, if a juror finds
that he has such a reasonable doubt
as would influence him in such a trans
action, not in something that does not
amount to anything, but in a grave
and important transaction, a doubt
that would influence him in such a
condition as that, the jury ought not
to convict. It is not a doubt that
could be raised for the purpose of
argument. 1t is a doubt founded on
the due consideration of the evidence"
After some definitions along the
same lines, the court concluded and
Foreman Wylie said that several of
the jurors would like to have that por-
ton of Garvin's testimony relating to
the time Of his movements between
Parkman, Wyo., and his place read to

complainant is Edward Staples and
the defendant John Horn and he is
charged by the former with having
used language toward him calculated
to provoke assault and battery. While
the action is brought under one Of
the ordinances of the city, drawn in
conformity with the state law making
such conduct an offense punishable
as a misdemeanor, it is the first of
the kind to be instituted in the po-
lice court. Usually men who are call
ed the names Staples alleges Horn
applied to him take the law into their
own hands and fight, or consider the
source" and pay no attention to their
defamers. The matter will come up
for trial tomorrow.

Did Not Believe Cattle Could Be Driv-

en- In Time Claimed.
Helena, Dec. 26.-[Special to The
Gazette.] Those who followed the
trial of Lee and Garvin express the
opinion that a verdict of guilty was
warranted by the evidence. One jury
man whose name cannot be learned,
kept the jury out 26 hours. He did
not believe the accused could have
driven the cattle into Garvin basin in
the time claimed. One Of the jury said
today that he would never have been
vikings to consent to the jury being
discharged without returning a YER
dict.
The convicted men were in the court
room when the verdict al announc-
ed and they were accompanied by two
deputy marshals to the Jail. There
were reports that the men might make
trouble before going to Jail but these
were unfounded. When searched at
the jail neither of the men had
weapons.
They feel confident of getting a new
trial.
The court will pass sentence Janu-
airy 6. The maximum punishment is
a fine of $4,000 or 10 years. imprison-
ment or both. A juryman said tonight
that he believed the court would i'm
pose the limit.
Mrs. Lee feels terribly wrought up
over the verdict as she was confident.
as were the accused, after the jury
had been out a long time, that there
could not be a conviction. She will
remain here until the court decides
the motion for a new trial.
