THE COURTS INSTRUCTIONS

The jury in the case of Frank Shin d verdict of guilty yesterday afternoon and Judge Kent announced that sen { tence would be passed next Monday morning. The defendant was com mitted. What move will be made in his behalf has not yet been determined by the attorneys for the defense. he boy was visited in the jail afterward by Superintendent Burke and other mem bers of the Anti-Saloon League which it is understood will not abandon the case in its present stage.
 The instructions of the court were strong and were interpreted to be against the defense though of course there was no infringement upon the duty of the jury to weigh the evidence There was no reference to the saloon question nor to the possibility of the defendant having been induced to commit the act for which he was tried.
 The crime of perjury vas described as one of the most detestable, aimed at the foundation of society. weapon for the destruction of life. freedom and property. The jury was informed that
 
 guilty and should be moved by sym pathy or other improper consideration to return a verdict of not guilty. that would be another blow at justice
 It was the general belief that though majority of the jury would favor conviction there would be a disa gree ment. It seemed hardly probable that there could be an acquittal. During the three hours the jury had the case the sound of loud deliberation proceeded from the jury room indicat- ing that there was a serious disagree ment that could hardly be adjusted Suddenly the debate ceased and it was announced that the jury had agreed. That indicated an acquittal: that those who favored conviction had suddenly decided to wash their hands of the matter. If longer time had elapsed it would have been taken to be sign of verdict of guilty.
 When tine verdict was announced the defendant showed little emotion but he broke down and cried after he had been removed To a cell. Great pity was felt for his mother who had been present throughout the trial.
 
 morning the arguments were begun by District Attorney Lyman for the terri tory. He was followed by A. b Leyle for the defense. the defense's side be- ing closed by J. H. Langston. District Attorney Bullard closed for the terri tory and during his argument the de fendant who throughout the grilIing cross examination of the night before had masked his feeling if he had any, gave way and frequently wiped away his tears.
 It is the impression of those who sat throughout the trial that his own tes- timony was the most damaging of all far more so than that of those who swore that they had not sold him any liquor for on that same testimony in opposition to his at the March hear ing of the Casino saloon case the H. cense of the saloon had been ordered revoked.
 But his story had varied so widely from the March story There were evident attempts to make it elaborate and it was SD complete in the first place that it opened limitiess field for the cross examiner.
  two men who the defendant said were with him the night he bought whiskey at the Casino. on February were wholly imaginary and nine out of ten believed that his story was construct ed entirely on previous incident when Frank Seeby bought whiskey for the defendant and gave 1t to him outside of the saloon. It was felt that the jury might properly disregard all other testimony and convict the boy out of his own mouth. After the announcement of tine yer dict. conjecture naturally turned to the character of the sentence. It might be suspended sentence or it might be imprisonment in the terri torial penitentiary for any period ranging from one to fourteen years. Foley Kidney Pills are antiseptic,
