 MT. Calhoun then said:
 "Gentlemen of the jury. have you agreed upon your verdict?" And Foreman Lewis J. Spear. of this city, replied:
 Guilty f
 There was d perceptible pause, for this answer was oracular, meaning almost anything.
 .'Of what?" asked the clerk, and the foreman replied:
 "Of murder in the first degree"
 All eyes turned on Spencer, ex- pecting some outcry, perhaps a vio- lent outbreak, such as had occurred often in the course of the trial. He did nothing. There was no outcry and he looked somewhat dazed. He swayed slightly and opened and shut his eyes in nervous manner as he has been doing nearly all of the time since the trial began. There were no tears and no quivering of the lips. The court immediately adjourned and, while this formality was in progress, the deputy sheriffs had all they could do to keep the outside crowd from pressing into the room and to the prisoners cage. It was several minutes before the prisoners wife, her sister, the prisoners sister and other relatives. who had re- mained in the consultation room, were informed of the verdict
 The news was broken by Attorney Stapleton. The announcement was followed by hysterical shrieks from the women. The prisoners wife col lapsed upon the couch in the room. The loud weeping of the women att tracted the large crowd which was swept from the courtroom by the deputies.
 After the women had become some what quieted they were allowed to enter the courtroom and see the prisoner. Upon their entrance, Spen- Ger arose and wept as his wife, sister and Mrs. Spencer's sister kissed him. His mother was mot present. The three women again wept loudly and Sheriff Clark found it necessary to lead them from the room

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 25.-At 3:10 o'clock, this morning, after hav- ing been out five hours, the jury re- in the first degree against Bertram G. Spencer, the Hyde-Jekyl robber who shot to death Miss Martha B. Black stone at the Dow home on the night of March 31, 1910.
 When the jury came in at 3:0S to deliver it's final verdict there was a sudden hush in the court. Spencer never raised his eyes or ceased his nervous rubbing of his forehead as the sjurymen passed the cage. Not one of the jurors looked at Spencer as he passed. It was felt through out the crowded room from that moment that the verdict would be one of murder in the first degree.
 As the clerk put his questions and the verdict was delivered, all eyes were fixed on the prisoner and heads were craned in the corners of the room to catch glimpse of him.
 Spencer stood with his hands clasped behind him, swaying slightly backward and forward on his feet and winking his eyes nervously. If he was an actor at all, he remained an actor to the last, for he d1sap- pointed the crowd, which had waited in expectation of a final outburst. He made no sign of having heard the verdict at all but rather appeared to be dezed.
 He did not change color nor utter a sound and there was not even a perceptible start at the words:
 s'Murder in the first degree"
 Judge Crosby came into the room soon after the jurors were seated and Assistant Clerk Calhoun immediately began to call the roll, while Deputy Sherin Studley. acting as court crier. counted the numbers as each man answered. Each juror rose and an swered to his name with a steady voice and the calling of their num- bers seemed like the marking of time before the end. When the last man had answered, MT. Calhoun called fhe name of Spencer and the latter aroee in his place. Then MT. Cai- hotln sad: e R

 Stadium, Soldiers Ffiele Boston, Nov. 2rOn a gridiroA ,..sn.ning fast, the Yale bulldog met Jots-iny Harvard in the sgd annual football clash, today.
 Beneath a cloudless sky and with a temperature that set the nerves of spectators and players on edge, the teams met in what was expected to battles of the year.
 Forty thousand people crowded into the monster stadium. Despite the rain of yesterday, the field was in perfect shaps. Tons of straw and canvas had protected the ground from the ele- ments and the fierce wind from the north had dried out the gridirOn. AL though the temperature ranged around the 30's, the ground had not frozen and was sufficiently soft to give the players firm footing. The. wind fa- vored neither team in a kicking duel, blowing straight across the gridiron and not from either end.
 The Yale -rooters, accompanied by three military bands, occupied the south stands, while the Harvard con- tingent packed the northern end of the monster stadium.
 The street car facilities were not sufficient to handle the crowds and the throngs were late in finding their way into their seats.
 The betting, just before the game, favored Yale by 10 to ', although there was plenty of Harvard money in sight at those odds. At-1.40 the sta dium was only half filled, though the bridges leading to the ampitheatre and the streets converging at the gridiron xro,.o joy ynroad with -v,qnnla who h9 been compelled to walk.
 Not a ticket was to be had from official sources and speculators were demanding $60 for two seats together. The Harvard management had declar- ed that the largest crowd that ever entered the stadium was expected for today's game.

When the Pathan leaves here for
Baltimore there will be a vacancy in
the berth of one serang. Husein Ben
ALI, bo's'n and serang of the Malay
crew, was attacked with appendicitis
and taken to the Long Island College
hospital, where the surgeons operated
on him. The bo's'n has been with the
ship for three years, and is an i'm.
portant man on board from his author

choose one of their own number to
act as serang until the ship reaches
Liverpool, where Husein Ben ALI will
rejoin her If all goes well.
This is not the only surgical case
entered on the ships log since leav-
ing Cebu. While at sea, nearing
Singapore, Chief officer Walker was
experimenting the breaking out of
some cargo to get at spare anchor,
when the tackle slipped and one of
the big graphing hooks struck him on

Big Bird From Cebu Held by
TWenty-Fathom Line.
Captured by American Naturalist
After TWO Weeks of Arduous
Mountain Climbing and Watch
funess-Goes to Zoo.

New York-Piloted up the bay by
an immense American eagle, the
steamship Pathan closed two
months trip from Cebu, in the Philip
pine islands. The eagle has double
claim to the title American. Its ma
tive eyrie in the mountains OF Cebu
is under the American flag, and the
bird itself will make its permanent
home hereafter in the Bronx Zoo.
After nearly two weeks of arduous
mountain climbing and untiring
watchfulness, the bird was trailed to
its nest high upon the face of a pre-
cipitous cliff by Professor Kingcome,
an American naturalist, who had
thrilling adventure making 1t captive.
Accompanied by three Filipinos, he
climbed the mountain by roundabout
trail, coming out on the cliff some AZ
feet above the eagles nest, at an ele-
walton of 5000 feet above the sea.
The face of the cliff was sheer and
presented no foothold by which the
bird hunter could descend.
Making a rope fast under his arms,
and taking turn with 1t around
tree, he instructed the little brown
men how to lower him by Stacking
away easily. The descent was made
all right, and the eagle, found asleep,
was easily captured by means of a
heavy net Getting back to the top of
the cliff was another proposition. The
Filipinos are not noted for big mus
cles, and the professor, with the add
ed weight of the eagle, proved too
much for their strength. For more
than an hour they tugged and pulled
at the rope, only to give out entirely
with the naturalist and his captive
dangling in midair some Is feet below
the first foothold on the cliff
For time Professor Kingcome
thought his aids had deserted him, as
they made no reply to his shouted or
ders. Finally he made them pay at
tention, and, under his instructions a
blight of the line was lowered over the
face of the cliff This he made fast
to the eagle, and leaving the bird
swinging there, the professor climbed

After that it was simple matter to
haul up his prize.
Throughout the trip the big bird
was at liberty daily at the end of a
20-fathom line, and led the ship for
hours at time. The line, made fast
to a shackle on the eagles leg, work
ing in a swivel to prevent jamming,
did not seem to worry the captive
When liberated it would dart up into
the air to the full length Of the line;
then, as it felt the restraint, would
gradually settle down to about the
level of the ships deck, and with its
wings full spread would maintain Q
position ahead Of the ship for hours,
keeping the line as taut as the hawser
of a tug. When tired of playing, the
bird would come aboard and make no
