five hours, sent word at IL O'Clock
that Il verdict had been reached. A
moment later they filed into the court
room. and ut 11:15 o'clock an officer
who had been sent for Gillette return
ed with the prisoner.
Pale and Il tritle nervous apparently
Gillette faced the jury. and when Mar
shall Hatch. the foreman. declared
that verdict of guilty in the first de-
gree had been found the youthful pris-
oner gave not sign of emotion. A
few moments later, when his counsel
had announced his purpose Of making
formal motion that the verdict be
set aside and the judge was dismissing
the jurors, Gillette bent over a nearby
table and, picking up pencil, wrote,
Father | am condemned. Chester"
He then folded the dispatch carefully
and placed it in his pocket. Imme-
diately afterward he was taken from
the courtroom back to his cell in the
jail.
1t was learned that the jury had
some difficulty in reaching an agree
ment. and six ballots were taken be-
fore the twelve men agreed. Up TO
that time the jury had stood eleven for
conviction and one for acquttal
The case was given to the jury at
$50 O'Clock last night, after Judge Dew
endorf had occupied an hour and fif

with the points of law involved and
instructed the jurors to consider the

not to be influenced by sentiment.

had been taken up by District Attor-

their companionship UP to the time of

the first time during the trial the
youthful prisoner broke down as he
was mercilessly scored by the prose.
cution.
For some time he glared defiantly at
the district attorney, but when the
latter read abstracts from the letters
sent Gillette by his sweetheart the
prisoner burst into tears and Mt times
throughout the remainder Of the SEES
sion sobbed convulsively.
When the jury went to its room and
Gillette was led back to his cell he
asked the deputy. Are the doors al
locked, sheriff." He apparently feared
violence, but there was no evidence OF
any such intention on the part of the
big crowd that swarmed the court
room

IMPORT HoDcARRIER AS PRINTER
Taken to Good Hotel, Entertained by
the New York Typothetae.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Through be-
ing taken for a printer and neglecting
to undeceive the agent Of the I'm ted
Typothetae, Samuel Gordon, a hod-
carrier from Chicago, has had the time
of his life.
Gordon said today that the agents
of the typothetae in Chicago three
weeks ago got it into their heads that
he was a striking printer out Of work,
and persistently urged MIN to come to
this city to get good job with good
pay as strikebreaker. 1t took him
some time to realize that he had unex-
pectedly run up against good thing"
and then he consented to the agree
ment
Gordon says he was installed in a
frst-class hotel, supplied with expen-
sive meals and given full pay for his
time and carte blanche at the hotel bar

ceremony.
An investigation showed that full
load of grapeshot mad been fired from
one of the cannons on the plaza in
front of the Bourse The gun had
been carefully trained on the chapel,
which stood in a line with the palace
and it was considered a miracle that
neither the car nor any member of
his family was killed or injured. Many
windows of the palace were shattered
by the grape shot, but not single per-
son was injured. The police arrested
the officers and men attending the bat
terry and the latter were afterwards
courtmartialed. 1t was never ascer-
tanned whether the firing of the grape
shot was an accident or Intentional
The theory was advanced, that the gun
had been held in readiness for an at
tack by the mob of strikers and had
been loaded with grapeshot and that it
had been neglected to remove the grape
shell and substitute a blank cartridge,
when the time came to fire the salute.

pay rolls, and maintenance, too, must
be provided for.
At this rate, more than 10 years will
be needed to save in transportation the
original cost of the new penitentiary.
Legislators Favor 1t.
Members of the last legislature seem
inclined, though, to view a west side
prison plan with favor. But they do
not place their opinions on a basis of
saving. They say the best reason for
such a prison is the crowded condition
of the Walla Walla pententiary. The
number Of convicts there is now nearly
500. 1t is said that 1000 would be the
extreme limit of safety. These legisla-
tors think another prison will very soon
be an absolute necessity.

New PenIteniaPy Talk Causes
Comment in State.

Governor Mead Claims the Institution
Will Pay for Itself Within
Three Years.

Governor Mead's plan of building a
new penitentiary in western Washing
ton has caused some comment through
out the state. Whether or not the gov
ernOr has worked out the details Of the
scheme is not known, but it is rumored
that Auburn will probably be the To-
cation of the new prison, is the report
that comes from Tacoma. Any addi-
tional state institution will naturally
drift to King county, and Auburn is as
good place as any in that county. 1t
is railroad junction now and will
probably be more important one with
the building of the Milwaukee.
Governor Mead says the cost of
building the prison will be made up by
the saving in the railway fare of con-
victs sent now to Walla Walla. He
says the penitentiary will pay for it
self within three years. Opinions seem

say it will cost at least 100000 to
build the prison.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for transportation of convicts''
for the twO-year period between SEES
sions. Of this it is estimated that at
least $4,000 will be used in eastern
Washington cases.
If this figure is correct it costs about
$1,000 year to send prisoners from
the west side to Walla Walla. De-
Quoting an amount, approximately for

miraculous escape from assassination
of the car and the other members of
the royal family on the nineteenth day
of January of last year was celebrated
here today by impressive thanksgiving
services in all the churches. This be-

the whole city was in holiday attire.
The blessing of the Neva is one of the
greatest and most popular celebrations
of Russia and usually attracts many
thousands of people from all parts of
the country This year the ceremony
was not as elaborate as in former
years and greater precautions were
taken to prevent a repetition of the at
tempt upon the life of the car, which
married the festivities last year.
The ceremony of blessing the waters
of the river had just ended, about one
o'clock in the afternoon of January
10, 1905. and the car still stood in the
little chapel built out over the frozen
NeVa, in front of the winter palace
surrounded by members of the dlplo-

state, when the salute from the bat

Making a Bad Matter Worse.

Unless the failure or the Enter
prise National Bank of Allegheny
differs Unexpectedly from other fail
ures of the same class it will bear
heaviest on the Institutions poor
est customeTs--the savings deposit
tors. It's patrons at the other end of
the scale can bear it lightly. They
put nothing in and they took much
out. But the savings accounts repre-
sent much PUT in-much honest, hard
money-and little of il left to come
out.
Now the class represented by these
savings deposits is not apt at using
the law. Statutes or limitations,
convenient transfers of property, the
filing of worthless securities, may all
avert justice for one kind of pa
tron' but the other rarely obtains
even the ordinary protection which
the law vouchsafes. And sometimes
this latter class is led, either through
ignorance or through its greater
humanity. into acts that altogether
misrepresent it and shut it OF from
the sympathy which law-abiding
communities would extend TO it.
This is the light in which 10 view
the outbreak in Allegheny Friday,
when a hundred workmen surround
ed the carriage of the late Cashier
Clark's widow, denounced her in
strong terms, wrecked the equipage,
and threatened the occupant with
bodily harm. Wise counsel from
cooler heads prevented the last
named wrong. AS it was, the demon
stration was unmanly, un-American
and could not possibly redress any
body's wrong. IL was not only {
discredit--it was inevitably futile.
