Returns Verdict After 5oins Out
All Niaht-Wife and Mother Faint.
Special to Times Republican.
Dcs Moines, March Awe. the jury,
find the defendant guilty Of murder In
the first degree aud fix the punishment
at Imprisonment for life" Such is the
verdict In the trial OF Charles Thomas,
charged with the murder OF Mabel
Scofeld five years ago. The case was
given 10 the Jury last. evening shortly
after o'clock. The trial lasted ftor
over two weeks and was one of the
most sensational In the history ofePolk
county When the verdict was render
ed this morning the wife and mother
OF the defendant were In the court
room and the shock Of the verdict
caused them to faint. They were car
ried from the court room in an uncon-
scious condition.
The Scofleld murder was one of the
most mysterious that ever occurred In
Des Moines. 1t has been long q dis
puted question whether the girl was
murdered or committed suicide. Her
body was found in the river and at the
autopsy 1t was discovered that there
was no water In her lungs. Physicians
gave it as their opinion that she was
dead before being thrown in the water.
For a long time detectives worked upon
the case but little was accomplished.
Thomas was hack driver and paid
some attention to the gill. He was
shown to have bought knock out drops
shortly before Mabels death. The
theory OF the state was that he gave
her the knock out drops with the in
tention Of committing rape upon her
person, but that the dose proved fatal
and he then attempted to dispose Of the
body by throwing it into the water.

Stewart, also assistant sergeant at

by Count Cassini, dean. OF the corps.
"The ambassadors and ministers

tones, and again, upon the fall of the
gavel, all came to standing posture,
while Sergeant -at-Arms Rapsdell es-
corted the foreign dignitaries to their
places fronting the presiding officer.
The foreigners attracted much atten.

and the distinction of the gentlemen

admiring comment.
Events followed quickly. From this
time until Senator Fairbanks began
