1t was Court House gossip that when
the jury retired and took first ballot
there were nine for a verdict of first
degree murder, with three for second
degree. Some of the stories were that
one of the three was for acquittal.
Late last night it was said that there
had been decided change in the senti
ment of the jury, and that there were,
seven for first degree and five for
second.
Early this morning it seemed that
the jury was hopelessly divided and
many people felt that there would be
no agreement.
just when the people had practically
given up all hope that the jury would
get together, the changing of the Court

Before Judge Trenchard gave his
charge to the jury this afternoon, Pros

Court and jury before Court closed its

= Ihe Prosecutor argued the posgt
raised by the defense that no robbery
had been committed. This theory of
the defense was annihilated by the
PROSECUTOR. Again he reviewed the
tacts as disclosed by the evidence, and
ne declared to the jury that under their
oath to enforce the law end to do their
duty they could bring in no other
verdict than that of first degree mur
der. There could be no question about
their duty in view of the facts and the
law.
Judge Trenchard began his charge.

Millville, N, j., Jan. 5. 5.-Anonymous

writer threatens to kill them and burn

houses of the women were robbed and
they ferreted out the burglar and testi-
fed against him. He was sentenced to
six years in the penitentiary. His term
has now almost expired.

The question of the facts, the Judge
said, was entirely the matter for the
Jury's consideration and determina-
tion. The quotations which he, the
Judge. should make, must not be re-
lied on by the jury; it was the jury's S
province to determine the facts.
Under this Indictment said the
Judge, you may find the defendant
not guilty or you may find him guilty
of murder in the first degree.
Walter Zellers alone is now on
trial. and with him only are you con-
cerned in this case.
IF death shall ensue from the COM
mitting or the attempt to commit rob-
berry the death shall constitute murder
in the first degree on the part of the
person committing such killing"
The Judge reviewed the evidence re.
lating to the alleged robbery, leading
up to the killing.
rs the alleged confession of Zellers
supported by probabilities of the case?'
The Judge referred to the attempt on
Halloween night, and other facts, as
the occurrences at the theatre, as being
corroborative to the confession.
'Zellers in his confession" said
Judge Trenchard. "says he fred none
OF the shots, THAT, said the Judge,
''as shall instruct you later, makes
no difference in the case.
To the jury the Judge said very
forcefully ''You must take the law
from the Court and if the Court gives
you the law incorrectly, the defendant
has its remedy. B" IF you find that
zellers, Wheeler and Grigg went there
to rob Read and he or Grigg fred the
fatal shot, Zellers is guilty of murder
in the first degree, if you find these
facts. 1t does not make any difference
which one fired the fatal shot. This is
the law
"You cannot find a verdict in the
second degree nor of manslaughter.
The jury went out at 2 80 o'clock in
charge of Constables Peter Custis and
Samuel Rossi.
Prosecutor Fithian at once moved
the case against Herbert Grigg.
Grigg's counsel, James S. Ware. not
being willing to go to trial without
the full panel of the 4S names, his OBJ
lection was acceded to by the Prose-
cutor, and the Judge said his en-.
gagements were such that he could not
be here to try the case before January
18th. The case was therefore set for
that day, and the jurors and all the
witnesses were instructed by the Court
to be here on Monday, January 18th, at

A FIRST DEGREE
MURDER VERDICT
The Jury Agrees Upon Verdict After
Being Out About 20 Hours.

At 10. 80 o'clock this morning, after
being out 30 hours, the jury in the
Walter Zellers murder case returned a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
1t was an impressive scene in the old
Court House.
Justice Trenchard and Judge Tuller
were upon the bench when the jury,
somewhat haggard from the all-night
vigil, solemnly filed into the room and
took their places in the jury box.
In the meantime the youthful Zellers
was brought in the court room from
the Jail and given a seat beside his
counsel, Mr.. Miller. He was perfectly
at ease, and the same smile that had
been noticeable all during the trial was
marked feature of his face. He
looked somewhat anxiously into the
faces of the jurors, but none OF the
twelve looked toward the boy.
Clerk Sheldon was directed to take
the verdict by Justice Trenchard, and
the usual form was gone through with.
The foreman, John Whitaker solemnly
announced that the verdict was
guilty of murder in the first degree. -
As the words came from the foreman
solemnly, distinctly. young Zeller's s
face blanched, then came quick flush,
and the same quiet smile spread over
his countenance and he recovered his
remarkable composure.
At the request of Mr.. Miller the jury
was finally polled, each member sus-
tanning the verdict announced, and
Judge Trenchard announced a recess
until January 18th.
Immediately an officer nodded to
Zellers, and the young man, now in
shadow of the electric chair, non.
chalantly picked up his overcoat and
hat and walked down the broad aisle.
He gave a nervous cough as he was
moving along, but no other sign of dis
comfture escaped him.
Neither his mother or the stepfather
of Zellers were present when the ver-
dict was announced. /
All night long the fate of Wy,ter
Zellers the youth charged wifi the
murder of his grandfather vas with
the jury. All night the trelve men
were locked in the Grand Jury room
debating the very serious question, and
most of the night young zellers was
walking the floor of his 0ell IN the Jail,
the first time showinggenuine anxiety.
When the jury retired shortly after 2
o'clock, there were few in the Court
room who had beard the charge of JUS
tice Trenchard but felt that the verdict
would be agreed upon within an hour.
To the sarprise of nearly everybody an
hour, two hours, many hours went by
and there was no agreement Night
came and still the jury was divided.
Ten o'clock camo and Justice Trench
ard, feeling that there was little likell'
hood of verdict during the night,
missed the Court officers for the night
and said that he would not again be at
the Court House until morning

WANTED-FOUR ALDER
MEN.

Four public Offices in Brownsville
are actually going begging. Next
Tuesday each of the four wards of
the city is slated to elect an alder
man. and not a single candidate has
been announced. 1t is a plain case
of the man not seeking the Office
nor can it be said that the Office is
doing any very strenuous seeking
after the man with perhaps one ex-
ception.
This state of affairs is not very
healthy indication for Brownsville
The town was never more in need Of
councilmen of brains. of understand
ing. of enterprise and of up-to-date
progressiveness than today. The
coming two years promise to be per
haps the most important in all the
experience of the town Matters of
vast Importance will undoubtedly
come before the city council within
this period, and it is highly neces-
sary that progressive business men
should be put at the head of the city
government The citizens should
not wait for such men to volunteer
their services. as it is not likely that
any such will do so. There are such
men in Brownsville. however, who
might be induced to give the city
their services for the next two years.
if properly solicited. 1t would be
well for the leading citizens to hold
meeting and solicit candidates for
aldermen who will fulfill the require
ments stated.

NATTER or SERIOUS MO-
MENT

Pending before the city council is
a matter which should command the
serious attention of the citizens. This
is the petition presented by the St.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico rail-
road for permission to widen the
gauge of the little Brownsville &
Gulf road on Twelfth street to stand
ard width. The city council has
done wisely to postpone action on
this question at least a week. Per-
haps it might be wiser to take longer
time. 1t asslredly should not be de-
cided in a hurry.
