The above was the verdict as rem.
dered by the jury in the Bavori case
which was concluded in the district
court last evening and which had oc-
cupied the attention of the district
court since Monday morning. The
case went to the jury at 8 80 O'Clock
last evening and the verdict was re-
turned two hours later. but the jury
had taken time to eat supper before
they began to deliberate on their de-
cision; in fact there was no delibera.
tion necessary, 1t being necessary.
however. to go through the form. and
the jurors had their minds made mp
before they left the jury box.
According TO the law the counsel
for the defendant has until tomorrow
morning to file a motion for new
trial. This will likely be done. but
it will be overruled by the district
judge who will pronounce sentence
on Bavori in few minutes afterward
and then the sheriff will take him to
the penitentisry where he will don
the stripes and start upon his life
, serving sentence for the bloody and
cowardlv assassination Of Joseph Min
ichiello on his little truck garden in
the northern outskirts OF Florence.
Once Bavori is landed behind the
bars he will be shown no favors and
will be closely watched by all the
guards whose duty it is to watch tho
particular place in which he will be
incarcarated. In fact he will not be
allowed outside of the prison walls.
and as the jury recommended hard
labor. he will be given that within
the confines of the high walls.
Just at what hour Sheriff Esser
will take the man to the penitentiary
is not known. and will not be until
after he is safely placed behind the
bars. The taking Of the prisoner to
the penitentiary will be done in a
clandestine manner and no one. not
even the sheriff's confdents, will
know what hour Bavori was taken
from the county Jail and what route
will be gone over to reach the pen.
After the life-termer Is safe In the
hands Of Warden Cleghorn, the an
nouncement will be made that he has
been taken to the penitentiary. Fol.
lowing the usual rules of the penal
institution, BavoTi will be taken to
the penitentiary barber shop and his
hair will be cut and his mustacho
removed.

without waiting moment Sheriff
Esser and his deputies led him out
Of the court room. back to the cell IN
the county Jail and WAS there LOCKED
up for the night. While everybody )
Is more or less pleased at the verdict
