 PACKED WHITE WOMAN.
4 VERDICT QUICKLY REACHED
Tke i2 Men Required Only 5Ls Minutes 10 Render Deelsion---The Crime Was Most Atrocious in City's History Jury Publicly Thanked.


 Kansas City. Jan. 6.--It took five minutes and 30 seconds for the jury to reach verdict of guilty with a death punishment in the case of George Reynolds and John Williams. the negroes who attacked Mrs. W. H. Jackson The last argument was finished at 7.05 o'clock. Judge Lat shaw read his instructions in ten min utes.
 At T:1G o'clock the jury was led out of the courtroom by the deputy in charge, Joseph Stewart. It was 12 minutes before the l2 men returned with their verdict, but some of this time was used in getting pen and ink and blotter Stewart said that from the time he locked the jury's door un- til he opened 1t in response 10 the summons of William NJ. Davis, the foreman. was 90 seconds less than six minutes. It Is the first time Jack son county jury has fixed the death penalty for criminal assault.
 The judge had ordered that the4e be no demonstration no matter what the verdict might be. There was none. The 25 or 30 persons in the audience, the 20 policemen. the court attaches, dozen lawyers inside the railing and two or three judges from other courts who had waited to hear the jury's de- cision. simply crowded around the jury and shook hands with each and thanked them for doing their duty as they believed the testimony had di. rected.
 There was no loud talk: 1t was just an evidence of relief from the strain that had held the crowd for two days Few of those most eager to thank the jurors themselves had wet eyes as they had had several times while Mrs. Jackson told her story In the morning session.
 For a moment or two the defendants were forgotten by all save the deputies who had them in charge. Without at. tracting any attention they led them away to a cell Their counsel, w. c. Hueston and George Wassom, negroes went away immediately. They have four days in which to file motion for new trial. The case will not be ap. pealed. The hanging is set for Satur- day Feb. ,.

Injustice has taught me to battle,
will give it blow for blow
And strike with might for the cause OF

Whether come veal or woe.

Ihave been to the doors of death
But keep the field and l will not

Till it gives me nerves OF steel
To wage the fight for the cause OF

Whether come woe or veal.
am not one of the doubters,
God who has given me breath
Has brought me out from the depths
of doubt
To faith that sees through death.
Though all is a mighty battle
He who has marshlled the stars
Wages the fight for the reign of right
When the worlds shall cease from
wars.
l have been a slave of Msmnoul
Ihave served him by soil and by sea
He takes as spoil the fruits of toll
But seldom toiler is he.
He who would serve him and worship
Is both a slave and fool;
Go give your might to the cause o
right
And soon the right shall rule.
No more is Mammon my master,
No master but right own,
Out of the night will climb to light
And shake the tyrant's throne.
We must not fear nor falter
When we are right but go
Even to death at the canuons breath
} Whether come veal or woe.

God meant us all to be free.
