MURDER

% DEGREE
BIondIn Convicted After Six
Hours OeIibera.ion-. New Trial
VIII Be Asked For.

Boston, Dec. i6.-Murder In the second
degree was tho verdict rendered last night
against j. wilfred Blond,n, who for more
than two weeks has been on trial In the
Suffolk County Superior court charged
with wtfe murder.
The Jury was out almost six hours when
the announcement came that verdict
had been reached. The verdict was re-
ceived with evident disappointment by
Blondin. who. after the jury retired. ex-
pressed arm belief that he would be ac-
quilted.
Immediately after the Jury had made It's
report Judge Bailey congratulated the
jury and the counsel for the fair
minded manner IN which the trial
was conducted, and especially congratu-
lated Blondin's senior counsel, James f.
Owens, for the able manner In which he
had conducted the defence under so try
ing circumstances.
Then the jury was discharged and the
sitting OF the court adjourned without de-
lay. Blondin was taken back 10 his cell
at Charles Street jail to await action upon
q mo- ION for a new trial which his coun-
sci an make. based upon exceptions
taken during the present trial.
Mr.. Jacques. junior counsel. also stated
that the defence was in possession Of new
evidence which he believes will materially

Attorney General Parker said the COM
sx.An
the result Of the trial. Mr. owens said
the defence felt that IL would be improp-
er TO make any statement at this time.
but he believed that the start already
made would result in ultimate victory.
Yesterday was devoted entirely 20 the
closing scenes In the trial, as all evidence
was in at the Saturday adjournment. Tho
case was given TO the Jury just after 4
o'clock the jurors asked that they be
taken out for supper. They were taken to
the hotel and returned an hour later TO
resume their deliberations Just after 10
o'clock word was brought TO the court
room that verdict had been reached.
At half-past 10 Blondin was brought In.
There was little in his appearance to In
dicate what was passing In his mind as
he settled himself comfortably in his ac-
customed position in the prisoners cage.
when the Jurors filed in Ave minutes la
ter however, a flush appeared I'm the
prisoners cheeks, and he leaned forward
as II attempting to read his fate in the
faces OF the ~ men.
Five minutes later came the attorneys,
followed by Judges Bradley and Stevens.
The fury was then polled and In reply TO
the usual question by the clerk the fore
man replied that a verdict had been
reached. I'VE find the prisoner guilty Of
murder In the second degree" said Fore
man Battles.
AS thu words were uttered Blondin's
face became flushed. and he stood with
hand upraised looking at the jurors Ions
after they had resumed their seats.
Judge Braley then thanked the jurors
and counsel in The case. The final proc
lamation OF adjournment then was made
by the crier. and Blondin was taken "a
