RUDE WASHINGTON
GETS OFF Light
JURY FIXES THE PENALTY AT
LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
Verdict Reached In Less than is Min
utes and Returned in court--The
Defense VIII Ask for New Trial
and Offer New Testimony.

Daily News Special.
jackson, Miss, September 27-The
jury in the trial of RUDE Washington,
charged with the murder of Burley
Wilkinson on May 20, this afternoon
brought In verdict as follows: I'VE,
the jury, find the defendant guilty as
charged, and fix his punishment at life
Imprisonment"
It was late dinner hour when the
noon adjournment was taken, the
court holding late in order to complete
the argument in the case, and the case
was turned over to the jury. Judge
Potter had not left the building before
he was sent for by the jury and the
announcement made that a verdict
had been reached. 1t was less than
fifteen minutes from the time they
took the case.
Attorney G. B. Greaves, who repre-
sents the defense, was disappointed at
the verdict, and states that new trial
will be asked for on two grounds; that
new evidence has been discovered
and that the court erred in refusing
to grant the defendant in struction
as to the right of the defendant to an
ticipate an impending attack. 1t is
claimed that two white men have been
found since the closing of the testi
mony who will testify that they saw
Wilkinson snap his pistol at Washing
ton before the latter fired.

it is not strange that the comrades of
both armies strongly desired that it
be repaired.
In May. 1902, the secretary OF war
authorized its repair, allotting the
sum of $4,000 for that purpose. The
building as restored is used as mu-
scum, added to which its own historic
value makes it interesting alike to
federals and Confederates.
The old family mansions of before
the war have been kept up in vicks-
burg. Though bordering broadly on
the Queen Anne style, they are still
characteristic of the city alone and
are none the less attractive on that
account. Bronze tablets are let into
the walls of residences, stating that
during the Civil war that place was
occupied by such an officer, from such
a date to such a date, as headquar-
tiers; also bronze tablets on iron stats
state that here cannon, smooth bore
and rified, of such and such calibre,
were planted and served such and
such officers for so many months

morning emerging from the night, the
inspiration of the sunrise as it falls
