Cullman, October 2-(Special.) )--"We the jury, find the defendant guilty oi murder in the first degree. and fix the punishment at life imprisonment in the penitentiary" This was, the verdict handed in by the special jury summoned to try John Holland for the murder oi H. D. Putnam. at Hanceville, two years ago this past July. This is the second time that Holland has been convicted of murder in the first degree, the first time at a special term of the circuit court held here shortly after the mur- der was committed at which time he received the death sentence, but his at- torneys appealed the case to the supreme court and had it reverted on techni- cality N the law.
 Holland, at this time, and at the time when the death sentence was passed up- on him displayed one of the most won- derful nerves ever seen. He was cool and deliberate throughout the entire or deal, through which he passed during the course of both his trials, and when asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, merely said: Nothing
 Hollands attorneys will again appeal the case to the supreme court

 The same jury will sit on the case, having been held in the custody of the court since the rendition of their yer dict Saturday night
 The question of Judge Forts eligibil- ity to preside over the case seems to be settled by a provision of the state code, which empowers the judges of the crim- inal, circuit and city courts to exchange benches whenever they deem 1t expe- dient.
 It is understood that Judge Jackson will preside this week in Birmingham.
 The prevailing opinion is that tkA trial will proceed at once as both sides an- nounced ready for trial last Monday when the case commenced. The jury is being held in custody of the court and is quartered at the Grand hotel.

He also desires to have the farmers select suitable seed for next years crop of a quick-growing Va- rlety.
