FRANK SPENCE FOUND GUILTY
MUTE TESTIMONY FOUND IN THE CABIN OF EDGAR R. SULLIVAN CAUSES CONVICTION AT PRES corr OF WE'LL KNOWN MAN.

PRESCOTT, December S.-The jury in the case of Frank Spence, charged with the murder of Edgar R. Sullivan at the Spence ranch, Live miles west of this city, on October %, Friday night returned verdict, finding Spence guilty of the crime and fixing the sen tence at death. Judge Sloan will an nounee the date of the hanging later. When the verdict was read by District Clerk J. M Watts, the prisoner sat m moved and maintained the same indif ference to his fate that has character ized his demeanor during the entire trial
 first to take place in Prescott for over q decade, the last being that of Parker, the train robber, for the murder of Lee Norris, Yavapai's assistant dis trict attorney. Parker was captured by Sheriff Ruffer after long chase.
 The incidents attendant to the mur- der of Sullivan were unusually sensa tional. Spence, the convicted man, has had an eventful career. There were no witnesses to the murder of Sullivan, and the prosecution secured conviction on circumstantial evidence, which, how ever, was very strong. The theory built up by the district attorney was found ed on facts gathered at the scene of the killing.
 Some time before the murder Spence had sold his ranch, but received permis- sion to remain there till he had made his preparations for leaving the coun- try. Spence was n drinking man and had indulged freely in liquor prior to the killing. The day following the tragedy he appeared in the city and gave himself up to the authorities, say ing that he had killed Sullivan at his ranch the night before, in selfdefense. Sullivan, he said, had attacked him with butcher knife and that he then shot him.
 The coroncr's jury, District Attor- ney R. E. Morrison and Sheriff Lowry went to the scene at once. Sullivan was found lying on the floor of the house. He had been shot with rifle, the bull let passing in at the back of the skull and making its exit above the frontal bone. His right had was tightly clench- ed, and nearby was butcher knife. Investigation showed that Sullivan s forehead was badly burned. A short distance away was an open fireplace. That was all the authorities had to work on. The coroner's jury returned a verdict charging Spence with the kill iTg of Sullivan, and the grand jury in dctcd him for premeditated murder.
 The theory of the prosecution was that when Spence returned to the ranch Sullivan was eating his supper, near the fireplace. and that Spence fired through the window, shooting Sullivan in the back of the head. The victim fell forward, with his forehead in the fireplace, resulting in the burns found. Spence had then gone into the house, put out the fire, and pulled Sullivan s body back and tried to thrust the butch CT knife into the dead mans clenched hand, to lay the foundation for the story of self defense
 Spence had been hard-working man, but lately was considered dangerous citizen.
 Shortly before Sullivan s death, he had made a deed, leaving the Spence place to the Mercy hospital after his demise

The Seat of Life Located.
Popular attention is just now for the

Sajous. who recently addressed a joint
meeting Of the American Therapeutic
society and the American Pharmaceu-
teal association at Philadelphia on
"The Authoritative Resources Of the
Body-A New Foundation For Scien-
tific Therapeutics" The researches of
DR.. Sajous for a period of twenty
years have demonstrated that the
great or noble" organs of the human
body. such as the heart. lungs, liver.
ETC., are really subsidiary to the true
dominant organs-namely, the ductless
glands known as the adrenals, the
thyroid and the pituitary body. So SUI
premely important part is played by
the secretions of these glands, and
especially the pituitary body at the
base Of the brain in the automatic re.
sistance to poisons In the blood, that
this body is believed to be the real
seat Of life in the animal organism.
The adrenal secretion sustains the
chief role in the distribution of oxygen.
This great work for the first time
makes an absolutely scientific system
Of treatment for disease possible and
makes certain various treatments here
tofore used, but which were only guess
work. DR.. Sajous is dean Of the Med
leo hirurgical college Of Philadelphia.
