Shock, of Erwin township, was found
guilty by the jury this morning. after
eighteen hours elaboration. II is under
stood that the jury eleven to one for
conviction on the first ballot and the one
man held out until 10 o'clock this morning.
The extreme penalty for the crime is twen-
ty-one years imprisonment and a fine
double the amount of property destroyed
which I'm this case would mean a fine of
about 5000. Judge Elliott will probably
make the fine nominal one. Michaels
had no grievance against the Shocks, ex-
cept that they would not permit him to
call on Miss Eula Burns. employed by them
as domestic. He was infatuated with the
girl. and IL get her away from there
that he destroyed the house. His numer-
Gus confessions TO Miss Burns and others
made his conviction certain. The only de-
Tense offered was that John Girps. one OF
the mentioned as helping Michaels
with the job, was in Jail at Frankfort at
the time of the explosion and fire. The tes-
tinony of Miss Burns, who detests the aged
sutton and spurned his attentions, was
clear and convincing and had great weight
with the jury. John Bowen, who Is held
as an accessory. is still in jail and will
