TOMBSTONE, May 26.-After a | brief deliberation the jury in the case | of J. c. Campbell. charged with the murder of James Mclaughlin in the lower end of Brewery avenue in Bis bee. brought in verdict of guilty of recommending the de- fendant to the mercy of the court. The failure of the jury to bring in a verdict that would carry a more severe penalty was the cause for much surprise.
 IN JURY'S HANDS.
 TOMBSTONE. May 26.-At noon today it was up to twelve men, sworn to try the case of the Territory vs. J. c. Campbell. to say of what offense under the statute the defendant is guilty Whether he is guilty of murder in the first degree, with the punishmenC fixed at the death pen of murder in the second degree, or manslaughter, or on the other hand whether it was a justifiable homicide.
 The case was given to the jury shortly after the noon hour after it had been occupying the attention of the court from the hour of one o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The work of securing the jury was not as hard as was supposed. It was thought for a time that the entire jury venire would be exhausted before the panel of twenty-nine could be secured, but after the examination of fifty-four iurymen the panel was accepted and out of the panel the following jurors were accepted to try the case:
 William Roberts, W. R. Ezell, Ed gar Thompson, Dan Sullivan. George Hedges, Jack Stevenson, E. Willems, W. D. Howard, J. B. Cook, Dick Will son and Andy Scott.
 The testimony in the case was all in yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock and the matter of instructing the jury and the argument of the case was continued over until this morning.
 Long before the hour of converting court the room began to fill with spectators, both men and women, who wished to hear the arguments of the opposing attorfeys. When court was called to order Judge Doan began the reading of the instructions of the court as regards the law of the case. The instructions were full and com plete an dtook some twenty minutes to deliver.
 District Attorney Ed. Flannigan opened the case for the territory, and for thirty minutes held the attention of the jury and of the many listeners while he in forcible language went over the testimony of the case, bring ing out the main facts of the prosecu- ton. He was followed by Tom Ben nett, who also spoke for nearly half an hour. Allen R. English then ad- dressed the court and jury, and al- though he has not been in the court room for some time in the argument of a case showed that he had in no way lost his forcible line of argu- ment and display of eloquence and rhetoric. At the climax of his speech he had a number of the people in the court room in tears as well as a few of the jurymen. J. E. Morrison for the defense had the closing argument of the case and the manner in which he handled the case won for him the praise of all who had the pleasure of listening to him. His argument over the theory of the manner in which the gun was fired and the prac- tical demonstration of how it was next to impossible 10 fire the gun in the way. in which the defense had testified 1t had been done, was well presented.
