is FOUND GUILTY
Jury convicts Henry Vermeesch
of Crime of Man
slaughter.
YOUNG MAN BREAKS DOWN
Weeps in Court When Verdict is
Read-New Trial Will be
Asked For.

Henry Vermeesch, for the first time
since he was indicted for taking the
life of John O'Connor. this morning
gave way to his emotions and broke
down and wept when the verdict of
the jury finding him guilty of man
slaughter was read, in the circuit
court, for the young man was conf
dent of his acquittal, believing that
his story of the circumstances of the
tragedy would be accepted by the
jury as showing justification for his
crime. The jury reported its verdict
at 1880, having been out since noon
yesterday
The impression of the attorneys had
been that the statutes gave the pen
atty for manslaughter at from one to
IA years, but it is found on looking
further into the law that the maximum
is life, but the indeterminate act in
tervenes here, and when Vermeesch is
sentenced the number of years will
not be fixed by the court here, the
duration of his term, after the mini
mum has been passed, depending on
his behavior while in prison, it resting
with the board of pardOns whether he
shall be paroled.
Is 20 Years of Age.
Vermeesch is 20 years of age. His
younger brother. his only blood rela-
tive in this country. was at his side
during the trial and when the verdict
of the jury was read this morning.
Henry's brother is Is. Henry brought
him to this country and got him a
job. Both boys stand well among the
people who know them.
Vermeesch is a molder by trade. He
does not work regularly as bartender.
He was serving in that capacity tenn
porarily for Leon Callewaert in East
Moline when the shooting occurred.
O'Connor's home was in Bloomington.
He had recently come to East Moline
to work. On the afternoon of the trag
edy O'ConnOr and three companions
visited the Callewaert saloon. The
four got into an alteration and were
to leave by Vermeesch. Three
did so, after O'Connor had broken one
of the chairs by slamming it down
on the floor. But OCOnnOr remained
SeIf-Defense His Plea.
He hurled a metal cuspidor at Yer
but it missed him, a broke the
back bar glass. Vermeesch started
for O'ConnOr to eject him from the
place. whereupon, he claims, O'Con-
nor picked up another cuspidor and
was in the act of throwing it at his
head when he drew his revolver
There were two shots, the second
causing death. Vermeesch swore on 4
the witness stand that O'COnnor was
on his feet when he was shot. Two
eye witnesses said they saw O'Connor
lying on the walk outside the front
entrance of the saloon when the last
shot was fired at him by Vermeesch.
Searle & Marshall, attorneys for the
young man. will ask for a new trial.
They state if this is denied they will

where at last. Seems to me such a charac-
ter Is most interesting, though somewhat
tragic. Here is how he said he first flew
the track when he was a boy at home:
1T was spring in New England. The
young man was toiling on a wooded slope
hauling logs with a wagon. He was happy
In the vigor of youth and the external
landscape appealed to him with all the
wonderful distinctness of the season He
heard the hum of insect life and breathed
the odor of the earth and woods. 1t was
exhilarating.
He felt the JOY Of labor and his heart
was light. He loaded the wagon high
with logs. The horses strained at the traces
and the wagon chucked In way that
told It had all the load it could bear Then
came trouble. One hub rolled upon the
top OF stump and struck fast. The driver
studied the situation moment ruefully.
Then he took his ak and attempted to chip
the wood away from under the hub.
The first blow broke the ak upon the
steel rim of the hub.
Here was calamity. An ak was an ak
In those days and the father of the family
usually had a few words of consolation to
say when an ak cashed In.
THE boy fastened the log chain to the
opposite axle. hitched his team to 1t and
tried to pull the wagon off the stump that
way. The log chain broke. Then he
hitched the team to the tongue again and
tried TO turn away from the stump. The
wagon tongue broke. Then he unscrewed
the tap that held the wedged wheel on the
but the wheel being off the axle dipped to
the ground and the weight of the logs
crushed the axle to pieces With the
broken chain, the broken ak, the broken
wagon and broken spirit the boy drove
into the barnyard. He took his horses to
the barn and his father came out to view
the wreckage The father picked up the
broken log chain. Throwing 1t aside he
