Ainsworth. Neb.-The jury in the
Davis murder case after deliberatins
ten hours forty minutes Tuesday
brought in a verdict Of murder in the
first degree and imposed the death
penalty. Owing to the fact that it was
a holiday the court could not set the
date Of execution nor the attorney for
the defendant file a motion for a new
trial. but he did ask for a day or two
in which to arrange his affairs. and
the court set February % as the time
for hearing Of motion.
Walter Rifenburg. alias. George vii.
son, convicted of the crime. received
the verdict without culver and when
taken back to his cell in the county
Jail took up the work of writing letters
TO relatives without the loss Of a mo
ment's time.
Monday was given over to the ar
suments Of the attorneys of both sides
and it was found necessary to hold a
night session Of the court in order tc
finish. Judge Harrington concluded
his charge to the jury and placed the
case in its hands at 500 p. m. and at
Z o'clock the jury announced to the
bailiff that verdict had been reached
and the Judge and other officers of the
court were hastily summoned and des
p!te the early hOure and the intense
cold. there were present in the court
room when the verdict was read about
100 people. with a number of women
among them.
