was Thanksgiving day Of last year.
A shoit time before the murder
she learned through Kings father
that her lover was making PrePar-
ations to marry the fasher's house
keeper, and was advised BY the
father to "go after" the son and
make him marry her. This caused
frequent bitter quaTrels between
them and finally resulted in the
tragedy. OF the details of the
tragedy itself Miss Adams testified
that she had very little recollec-
ton. She said that a short time
previous to the shooting King had
threatened her with the gun used
in the killing, and later gave il to
her to put away. A few minutes
afterwards they had another quar-
rel, which terminated in the shoot
ing.
Much unprintable testimony was
introduced. the prosecution max
ing endless o jections and but very
few of them being sustained by
Judge Dixon. The plea OF the
defense was momentary insanity
under great mental strain. and that
theory was sustained by the evil
dence OF a number Of physicians
who testified that under the cir-
cumstances and conditions the de
iendant was probably insane and
irresponsible at the time the crime
was committed.
rhe taking OF testimony was
concluded at q o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the arguments of
counsel two hours later, one hour
being allowed to each side. MIR.
Hofmire's address was especially
effective, his pathos moving many
to tears. Mr.. McAliny is one Of
the best criminal lawyers in the
state and fully sustained his repu-
tsuon as a brilliant speaker.
The jury retired at four o'clock.
Shortly after 8 o'clock it was an
nounced that a verdict had been
agreed upon. The large audience
in the court room waited in breath
less silence as the jurors filed in
and took their seats in the. jury
box, and as Distinct Clerk Pearce
announced the. verdict OF mot
guilty." there was a suppressed
mnrmur OF approval followed by a
general gathering OF the women
folks around the defendant and
much kissing and congrAtulation.
1t is reported that eight ballots
were necessary before a verdict
was arrived at. On the first bal
lot ten OF the jurors were for &C
quittal and two for conviction.
On the second ballot eleven to
one, there being no change until
the eighth ballot. when all agreed
upon a verdict of mot guilty"

ed From the East and Will Push
Development as Rapidly as Pos
SibIe.
J. A. Mccoy returned Monday from
an extended trip east in the interests
of the Golden Cross and Eagle Mining
Co., of which he is general manager
In an interview with a representative
of the GRAPHIC he stated that he would
go Immediately to the property Of the
company in the Tres Hermanos district
and that il is the intention to sink the
shaft, which is now 405 feet in depth,
on to the water level, whether that be
700 feet or more. Mr.. Mccoy believes
that when the water level is reached
they will find the ore body to be of a
more permanent character and that the
mine will be steady producer Of high
grade values.
This property was in the early days,
one of the richest in the Tres HERNIA
nos district and produced large amounts
of rich ore, over $3.50, 600 in Lead and
Silver being taken out to a deph of l2O
feet. 1t has been the policy Of the
present company to sink directly to the
lower levels and then drift to the ore
body.
At the 300 feet level the character of
the ore is changing to copper and it is
an expert opinion that at water level
the lead and silve. will give way and
the ore will run high in gold and copper.
