JACKSON MUST HANG FOR KILL
ING FoNNIE BUCK.
IS NOT MOVED BY VERDICT
When Returned to His Cell Prisoner
Dances and Seems Wholly
Indifferent.

Hamilton, Mont, Sept. 1O.-Walter
Jackson is guilty OF murder in the first
degree. Such is the verdict as rem
dered by the jury at $50 this after
noon. 1t was a verdict that gives
general satisfaction. The jury was
out less than two hours. When the
attorneys concluded their arguments
at 3:45 Jackson was taken to his cell.
When Jackson stepped into his cell he
began dancing, and an inmate OF the
Jail remarked, "You will feel different
tomorrow Jackson replied, "Oh, l
don't know"
Later his supper was brought and
when the jailer came to take him to
hear the verdict he objected as he did
not want to interrupt his evening meal.
After hearing the verdict he returned
to the cell and finished his supper.
The verdict apparently did not at
feet Jackson in the least. Judge Web
ster will pronounce s~entense Satur-
day, September -, at 5 p. m.
jackson did not take the stand in
his own behalf.
the first witness called. He testified to
being one of the searching party who
had been looking for the Buck boy,
telling of his finding the body in a
slough about three-fifths of a mile
southwest of St%evensville. He gave a
minute description as to the position
found, how the arms and legs were
drawn out of shape and distorted as
if from excruciating pain.
Lon Young's evidence was also along
the same lines.
Doctor Brooks, a practicing physi-
clan of Stevensville, was placed on the
stand and testified as to making an *
animation of the body of Fonnie Buck
at the time of the coroner's inquest. He
testified that the body was slightly de-
composed; that there were abrasions
OF the skin about the body, also dis
c@olorations resembling finger marks.
The boys jaws were rigidly locked,
arms and feet reflected. There was
a general contraction of the muscles,
while other parts of the body were di-
lated and bruised. Every evidence, &C.
cording to the witness, was that the
boys death was caused by lockjaw,
superinduced by commissions caused
by the preparation OF an unnatural
deed being sufficient to produce the
above effect.
Doctor H. G.. Higgins, who made an
examination at the anne time, testl-
fed along the same lines as Doctor
Brooke.
Albert Card, a ~12-year-old boy OF
Florence. who was in Stevensville at
the time of the murder testified as to
being with the Buck boy on the even
ing of the murder; that they stopped
at Frank Cyr's store, where bananas
were bought, Fonnie taking one and
saying he was going home.
Ruford Buck, aged 8 years, a brother
to the murdered boy, gave evidence be-
fore the jury. He is a bright, manly
little fellow and gave his testimony
in a straightforward manner. He
stated that ON the evening OF August
Is he, his brother, and Albert Card,
started to deliver milk to the home OF
Charles H. Buck; returning, stopped
at Cyr's store and purchased bananas,
Fonnie taking one and saying he would
go home, the other two remaining to
eat a saucer of ice This was
the last time he saw Fonnie alive.
