MURPHY IS CONVICTED.
JURY BRINGs IN A VERDICT oR~
UNLAWFUL SHOOTING.
Penalty Is From one to Five Wears I'm
the Pen, or a Jatl Sentence
and Heavy Fine.

anu hehNy Rtnet
The case of Isaac Murphy,
who was placed on trial in the
Circuit court Monday morn
ing for shooting Mrs. Anna
Shackelford in Hedgesville
early last spring, was given to
the jury at a late hour Mons
day afternoon, after a trial that
lasted the greater portion of the
day. The members of the jury
were not long in coming to a
decision, returning to the court
room in a few minutes with a
verdict of guilty of unlawful
shooting. This carries a pen.
atty of from one to five years in
the penitentiary, or a jail SEN
tence and fine, in the discretion
of the court.
The defence did not introduce
a single witness, and even fall
ed to place Murphy on the
stand, seeming to make a play
for a verdict of either acquital
or for lesser degree of punish>
ment after the state practically
failed to make a case on the
more serious charge of shoot
ing with intent to kill. The
state did not put up as strong a
case as was expected, and was
lucky to get conviction on
the minor charge.
