of guilty and fixed his punishment at
five years confinement in the peni-

Judge Kelley gave the instructions
OF the court and the indictment

Jury. He announced that he would be
ready TO receive a verdict at any time
during the night The jurors i'm
mediately retired TO their room, and
after considering the case for two
hours, decided to retire for the
night.
The Jury was sent out at S o'clock
this morning and until it returned
with the verdict, Parrish, the accus-
ed banker, walked around the court
room, seemingly little interested in
the proceedings and humning tune
most Of the time. He even approach
ed Commonwealth Attorney Ben D.
Ringo and had a brief talk with the
prosecutor, who scored him so bitter
" in the concluding argument to the
jury.
When the Clerk read the verdict
and had reached, we, the jury, find

the defendant, and Mrs. Parrish, the
accused bankers wife, began 10 sob

James H. Parrish, the defendant, was
the least affected of any Of them.
Some Of the female members of the
Parrish family were heard to say that
the speech OF Prosecutor Ringo caused
the conviction of Parrish. Parrish
was taken to Jail by Jailer phillips.
A motion was promptly made for
new trial. and Judge Kelley will pass
upon il. Judge Kelley thanked the
Jury for the interest paid in the pro-
ceedings throughout the trial.
The verdict met with popular ap-

He Gives the High Sign, to Signify I
Block Ahead.
1t Is common thing for the driv
er held UP by a block ahead to throw
up his whip hand as a sign to drivers
following him. All sorts of drivers
do this. and yet it seemed strange to
see the sign given by the driver OF
a hearse.
Funerals are not commonly seen in
the crowded business streets of the
city where the sign may be neces-
sary; they are met oftenest in resi-.
dence streets, where traffic is not
likely to be obstructed; and so one
might, in the course of time, see
many funeral professions pass and
never once see the hearse driver give
the high sign.
But the hearse is not always seen
at the head of funeral procession;
it must OF course go to and from the
place at which it is to head the line
of carriages, and then 1t moves alone,
as was the case with this hearse,
seen going up Broadway, like any
other separate vehicle in the midst Of
a crush of trucks, wagons, carriages
and automobiles; and here, when
there was block ahead, the man on
the box of the hearse threw up his
whip hand. just like any other driver
