 Tried for Killing Wtt'.

Greenyille, Jan. 2T.-,SrecisI.)--- Jack Thompson convicted Friday in Evergreen of the murder of John Cooper, his father -in-law will have te stand trial for the murder of his wife, notwithstanding the fife sentence given him at his first trial.
 Solicitor c. R. Bricken who prescott ed Thompson, passed through Green vile at an early hour this morning, and to citizens of Greenvilie he 'nade the positive announcement that 1honp son would be put on trial for the murder of his wife This trial will he had at the next regular term ot the circuit court of Conecuh county which will be held in April.
 The indictment originally founc against Thompson was a separate affair that .s, there were two of thsse indic = ments One charged Thompson wlth the murder of John Cooper. his sathcr- Jaw, ana the other chergcd hiTa with the murder of his w1fe. Mrs Belle Thompson On the Cooper indict- ment, he was tried tsis week in Ever green. the trial resulting f1 life sentence for him.
 The State. by Solicitor Broken. holds that the verdict of the JHry in the first case was legal decl .:ation that Thompson was sane and of sound mind. The jury in the cass YVES only called upon to decide whether ThoElp- son was sane or ins me. If he was insane, be owed no penalty for his crime He would have been s.luL up in the asylum for the protection of society, but he would not have beer punished. The verdict of ih4 jury sentencing him to fife i'm irisonnert is held by the State to be legal de- claration that he was sane.
 And now the State, so the Solicitor says, will take action on tie se ron'; indictment which he las held in
 reserve, and Thompson vii. again be put on trial at the April term of the Conecuh county court. Under tie ex- sting circumstances the sjolcitor ex- reets to get a hanging Verd ci for
