Jury in Famous Campbell
Case Recommends Ex-
treme Clemency

Chicgoa, Sept. "a. The "un'

umph in Judge Winder's cour'
yesterday when Amasa c. Campbell
the wealthy Amigo. Wis, lumber
man who killed DR.. Benjamin f.
Harris because he believed Harris
had wrecked his home was founc
guilty.
The triumph of the "unwlitter
law" was not in the verdict ol
guilty, but in the urgent plea o.
the jury that the court inflict thu
minimum penalty of one year OF
Campbell.
For over eight hours the jury
argued and debated the case, The
majority refusing to vote in favo
of verdict of guilty unless th'
punishment be light.
The emotional pleas Of the at
torneys for the accused man, urg
ing the jurors 10 uphold the Gun
written law" evidently had som,
effect.
The jurors stated plainly tina
they believed Campbel's punish
ment should be the lightest possible
and after twice asking the court fol
directions and further information
and once reporting that they coul(
not agree, they brought into ocurI
a verdict accompanied with a pc
tition for clemency.
The procedure almost is umheard
Of in Cook county courts. I'm il

New York, Sept 25.-charles f.
Murphy spoke by the book when he
stated on Monday that the efforts on
the part of Mayor McCielllan's
friends TO throw out about 1G OF the

TO be joke
Only two Mcclellan men carried
their districts. These were Fire Com
missioner Francis j. Lantry of the
sixteenth district and Maurice j.
Featherson of the Twentieth district.
All other candidates engaged in
the contest in the interests of the
Mcclellan faction against the organ
ization candidates were beaten In
most districts where there were fights
The result OF the election leaves the
AlcClellanites with only two district
leaders, Lantry and Featherson and
the likelihood that even these two

II seems TO be the general opin-
ION that Hobson will be appointed

on Naval Affairs, ON account OF
his flmous coalboat exploit. IT
would not exceed his ambition were
he TO be named for the Chairman

Iobliged TO dispense great many
grievous disappointments in his pc

Imay have a spell of amiable contrar-

scare about q war with Japan
