A. PEN. SENTENCE
FOR mrs. LYNCH
Jury Gives Her from Two
to Fl Years
FOR MURDER OF SON-IN-LAW
Eleven Wanted Life Sentence
"A Final Compromise
Was Made.
DAUGHTER-lN-LAw's EVIDENCE

Inc OWehsUOIO luquliSI VI TIT
day says:
Mrs. LoutiIda Lynch is again con-
fined in the Daviess county Jail,
awaiting sentence which will be
passed upon her next week by
Judge Birkhead, when she will
then be taken to the penitentiary
at Frankfort to begin serving a
term of from two to 81 years.
This was the verdict of the jury
(which was returned into court at
1850 o'clock this morning, after
celebrating on the case for several
hours as to the guilt or innocence
of the defendant, who was charged
with the murder of her son-in-law,
Ambie Buck.
The trial of Mrs. Lynch was be-
gun Wednesday afternoon and the
case submitted to the jury shortly
before o'clock Thursday after
noon. When the jury first went
into the room to consider the YER
dict, vote was taken as to her
guilt, and the jury stood IL for
guilty and one for acquittal. Final
ly the one man agreed that she was
guilty, and on poll being taken as
to her punishment, they stood IL
for life sentence and one for man
slaughter. No kind of an argu-
ment could convince the one Juror
that Mrs. Lynch should receive a
life sentence, and he stated that he
would remain in the jury room six
teen years before he would come
over to the majority side.
It was then suggested that a SEN
tenee of voluntary manslaughter
from two to 81 years was equiva-
lent to a life sentence for Mrs.
Lynch, and rather than to have a
hung jury, the eleven men who
were for life Imprisonment agreed
to the verdict with the one Juror
who was for voluntary manslaugh-
ter.
When the verdict OF the jury
was announced, Mrs. Lynch began
shedding tears, but not until JAler
Calhoun started with her to the Jail
did Cordelia Buck, daughter of the
prisoner, and wife of the murdered
man, show any signs of grief or
sorrow. Her cries could be heard
for some distance, and this contin-
ued as the young widow and her
friends walked from the court
house to the street.
Mrs. Lynch was indicted for kill
ing her son-in-law. Ambie Buck,
and the evidence showed that the
killing was without any provocation
whatever. The exact facts of the
shooting were told by Cordelia
Buck at the examining trial, and on
the first trial after Mrs. Lynch had
been indicted. but on, the present
trial the witness swore that she had
testified falsely at the former trial, /
because of threat made against her
by CORTLAND Buck that he would
kill her If she testified otherwise
than she did. II was known that
Cordelia Buck remained with the
family of CORTLAND Buck, and not |
with Ambie Bucks father, as had
been stated, until after Mrs. Lynch
was released from jail. since which
line she has been living with her
