HELToN FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER IN
THE FIRST DEGREE.


At noon Thursday the testimony and
arguments of opposing counsel were
concluded, and Immediately after the
dinner hour the Judge gave his instruc-
tions to the jury and they retired for
consideration. It evidently did not take
them long to agree on a verdict, for
about two hours after retiring they
notified the court that they were'ready
to report. The prisoner was brought
over from the Jail and the jury filed In,
making report through their foreman,
D. V. Drennen, that they had found
the prisoner guilty as charged In the in.
dictment. Helton showed no sign that
he appreciated the magnitude of the
verdict.
The jury was composed Of D. V.
Drennen, D. V. Weese, A. Fl. Weese,
NJ. l., Smalley, j. R. Reed, Thos. House,
L. b. Holt, G. W. McCaslin, J. F.
Crawford, H. Pagan, G. N. Hickey
and A G. Stipes. The defense was
chiefly on the line Of insanity, but the
evidence WAS not such AZ to convince
the jury but what the defendant realized
the enormity of the crime at the time Of
its commission.

SEDGWICK COUNTY HAS TO PAY
FOR POOR FARM.
Commi sioner Redfieid Stud ing How
to Remedy Trouble.

It cost SS.62o59 to run the sedgwicb
county poor farm last year The total
expenses for the institution for 1901 were
81. 1922, while tie receipts for live STOCK
and farm poducts amounted to only s4s2. 80
The expense to the county for keeping
Up this institution is enormous to what
it should be were conditions and cir
cumstances right. There is an average
Of thirty persons at the poor farm the
year round. costing the county sl2o.60 per
capita. The cost is small and reason
able enough. but the receipts are out OF
al proportion to the cost. The reason
for this is probably due to the fact
Of the rather large attendance at the
farm and mostly owing to the situation
Of it. The place is declared to be the
poorest farming land in Sedgwlck county
and this explains why the poor farm.
does not pay for itself.
Commissioner Redfeld has been study
Ing up this matter and found the above
astonishing figures. 1t is hoped that the
viii find some solution of the trouble
cnd save the county over s., 900 a year.

Il have been studying up a few sta
tistIcs on this matter and you can SEQ
to what an expense Sedgwick county Is
put II keep up the poor farm. Take
Sumner county south Of US for exam,
pie Inc poor farm down there every
year pays more than its expenses. Even
during the drouth the institution did not
cost Sumner county a cent. The crop
raised paid for everything, officers and
all. This condition here in Sedgwick
county is a bad one and I don't know
what we can do to remedy it. The man
agement of the poor farm is all right
and everything is kept straight, but thar
land over there has never been worth
anything. That is just the fact Of the
natter
It has been suggested by one ouside
the commission that this farm might
be sold by the county and another more

course, no one viii pay a good price for
it and the county would be out consider
