BE GUILTY OF MURDER.

Hamilton, O., July 17.-AlfIed A.

tgree for the murder of his wife, Han
nah Goddard Knapp by jury In

4 mendations of mercy, and Knapp

out mercy and two for conviction
with mercy, being unanimously for

and at 1880 o'clock it was found that
aD agreement had been reached.
Judge Belden tad been sent for
and Knapp was brought into court
by Sheriff Bisdorf. There were but
a few spectators present and there
was no excitement. Knapp took his
dis seat quietly and when the YER
dict was returned he did not show
any sign OF emotion or make any
comment He seemed to have steeled
himself for the ordeal. Knapp was
taken back to Jail and the sheriff
will allow no outsiders to see him.
The result of the trial is accepted
with great satisfaction by the public.
Knapp's mother and sister were
very much affected when they heard
the verdict.

believed that Knapp will now be
electrocuted.
A motion for a new trial Will be
filed 10y KnapTs' counsel. Knapps'
relatives visited him today at the
Jail. The meeting was pathetic as he
tried to comfort his mother.
