GRUBER GUILTY
OF MURDER
JURY REACHED VERDICT In
FEW MINUTES AFTER RE
TIRING.
Prisoner Showed no Signs Of Emo
ton When Verdict Was Read.


Eve, the jury, find the defendant,
Fred Gruber. guilty Of the charge
against him, that OF murder in the
first degree were the words that fell
upon the ears Of the large crowd in
the court room last night shortly
after ten O'Clock, as the verdict was
read by Deputy Clerk Jas. A. Foster.
The prisoner sat easily in his chair
and did not seem to care in the least
what the verdict was. He conversed
with the sheriff and his deputies be-
fore and after the reading of the YER
dict, In a laughing manner, which
caused shudder to pass over the
crowd, who had expected to see the
prisoner manifest, in some measure
at least, some emotion over the de-
cision of the twelve men who pro-
nounced his fate.
Gruber Is Unaffected.
Never before In the history Of this
city has verdict been received with
so little interest by a defendant as
in the case of Gruber last night
While the jury was out the prisoner
sat in the court room and conversed
as though he were an uninterested
party in the case, and as the twelve
men filed into the court room after
they had reached a verdict, Gruber
looked at each man keenly and pass
ed smile at the sheriff who sat by
his side. AS the verdict was read,
Gruber sat unmoyed. not the slight
est sign of emotion showed on his
face and he was by far the most
cool and calm person in the court
room.
After the jury has been dismissed
by Judge Dunn. Sheriff Bailey shack
eied the prisoner and they passed
from the room enroute to the city
Jail. Gruber laughed as he was
going out of the door, and made the
remark, 81 wonder If my attorney
will ask for new trial, or If it is all
oyer?" He left the building with a
light step and an air as though he
was going to a place of amusement,
and that good time awaited him.
Judge Dunn's Charge.
Seldom is one privileged to listen
to more impressive charge than the
one with which the jury was instruct
ed last evening by Judge Dunn. 1t
was carefully prepared and the words
which were uttered could not fail to
sink into the conscience of every ju-
Tor and it impressed all who were
privileged to hear it.
The jury reached a verdict in
twenty-eight minutes, and the vote
was unanimous on the first ballot

PENDANT. will make motion for a

in which to prepare new evidence. It
is understood that County Attorney

orally allowed in such cases.
After the verdict had been read
Judge Dunn announced that the court
would set the time for passing sen
tence as next Monday morning at 10
o'clock.
