Jury FINDS CURTIN
GUILTY OF MURDER

OAKLAND. May 1s.-After being out
three and one-half hours the jury IN
the case Of Robert E Curtin, charged
with the murder of John Titus, re-
turned verdict of guilty Of murder
in the first degree, with the recon-
mendation that Curtin be imprisoned
for life. He viii appear for sentence
Tuesday morning in Judge Ellsworth 8
court. The case was submitted to the
jurors at 4:30 o'clock, and at the
foreman announced that a verdict had
been reached. The close of the trial
was marked by several dramatic fea-
lures. Curtin persisted in drawing
caricatures of Deputy District Attorney
w. H L. Hynes. the prosecutor, and
in his closing address to the jury Hynes
said:
BELIEVES LIFE IN DANGER
If this man is acquitted my life will
be endangered, for he will seek to
murder me. He hates me for my dis
charge of my duty, and 1 shall have to
carry a weapon to protect myself
against him. He is that kind of a
man. During my argument here before
this jury today this defendant has
drawn caricatures of me and showed
them to the side of the table where I
can see them. I will ask Mr.. Church,
counsel for the defense, to instruct this
murderer to desist."
With these words Hynes. who has
prosecuted Curtin for killing John
Titus, October 8, 1907, reached the
climax Of his argument before the jury
in Judge Ellsworth's court today
The defendant merely crumpled up
several rude sketches of Hynes which
he had drawn and resumed his stare
at the wall. Church made no motion to
interfere.
In a resume of the testimony of the
case. Hynes sought to prove that Cur
tin was a moral degenerate, but was
responsible for his acts
Referring to the testimony of Miss
Katherine Mahen of Rcseville, Placer
county, who believed Curtin insane
from her observation of him while
staying at her mothers ranch, Hynes
exclaimed:
CALLS MAN DEGENERATE
would this defendant have asked
this 10 year old girl to marry him /?
Would she have had occasion to go to
the pump in the yard at midnight to
get drink in her bare feet and acci-
dentally find Curtin pacing up and
down in the orchard if he had not been
a degenerate? No girl would have gone
to the pump at that hour unless asked
to meet somebody
Attorney Church finished his argu-
ment before noon. He based his plea
for the defense on Curtin's alleged in
sanity. The widow of Titus with her
six small children and her eldest
daughter sat inside the rail to-day.
Mrs. Titus carried a baby, which had
ben born since its fathers death Both
Mrs. Titus and her grown daughter.
Velma, cried at times when Hynes re-
ferred to the dead man
Curtin's aged father, CalIaghan Cur
tin, and his sister, Mary Curtin, con-
tinued TO sit close to the defendant to-
day as during nearly every session of
the case. Judge Ellsworths formal In
structions to the jury required an hour
to finish.

Mot GuiIty." Ssvs. Jurv.


 Ike Peak was tried before a jury this afternoon on a charge of disturb ing the peace. It appears from the testimony that George Cook was a boarder at the restaurant run by NIT. and Mrs. Peak, and upon the Peaks presenting their bill last Tuesday evening, Cook refused to pay same as he had made arrangements to pay on the 10th of each month. It appears that the Peaks had decided to dis continue the business and this was the reason in asking for the money. Hot words followed the presentation of the order which Cook was asked to sign and the wind up of the affair was when Cook ''swatted" Peak in the optics, thereby impairing his sight. The jury returned verdict of not guilty. After the trial Cook was tried on the same charge and was found guilty. The judge will pass sentence tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. The complaint of assault and battery which was lodged against Cook by Peak was dismissed upon request of ais attorney, John Ross.
