 Harry J. Saxon, sheriff testified to having visited the scene of the murder, and identified articles he found there, and testified that he found there three dead Chinamen. The Chinaman showed me the spot where he said he fell when he was shot, and where the others fell. In all of those places there were pools of blood. The place is in the County of Santa Cruz, Ter ritory of ArizOna-about 100 feet north of the Mexican line, about six miles west of Nogales. But the dead Chinamen were some dis. tance away, about sixty feet south of the line.
 Recess was taken until Tuesday morning at which time the cross examination of Sheriff Saxon was finished, without development of anything in addition to what was told by the witness Monday.

 door Amado, who was seated on the counter, arose and came to- ward him, fumbling in his shirt bosom as if reaching for weapon. Franco drew his pistol and fired the ball striking Amado near the navel and penetrating his abdo- men. The wounded man was picked up by witnesses and laid under a tree outside, when atten- ton was called to a pocket knife that laid under his outspread hand. The knife was closed. Amado was conveyed to Patagonia as quickly as possible, for medical attendance, and Doctor Doron was called. The latter decided an operation was necessary, to perform which skilled assistance was necessary, and Doc tor Kingsley was summoned from Nogales, going out in an automo- bile, but Amado died before he could reach the place.
 The foregoing is the story with out going into all the details as given by the witnesses.
 The summing up of the evidence by District Attorney w. A. O'Con- nor and Frank J. Barry for the de- fence, was interesting and we'll con- ducted, and the instructions given the jury that 1t was their province to determine the defendant either mot guilty" guilty of murder in the second degree" or guilty of murder in the first degree" and that should the last stated be their verdict the law requires that they fix the penalty-eilher life i'm prisonment or death.
 It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when the jury retired ir charge of the bailiffs, Charles Hood and J. Miller, within the half houl the jury returned to the courJ room; and when the usual formal ity of calling the roll of the jury had been completed and the for nal interrogation by the Cour whether verdict had been founC was put, Foreman Ferd Van Mour ick handed the Court the fatefu document. An awed silence per vaded the court room as Judge Doan read aloud; We the Jury duly impanelled and sworn in tn, above entitled action do find tn, defendant guilty of murder in tn, first degree and fix the penalty a capital punishment"
 Before the clerk had recorded tn, verdict the Court stopped him anC informed the jury that there wa all informality in the verdict tha should be corrected before record } ing the same and proceeding far ther: in fixing the penalty at ''ca pital punishment" while the mean ing was the same it was not phras ed according to the provision of tn statute which designates the penalt, death" So the Jury was instruct ed to retire again and frame thei verdict so it would conform to tn exact phraseology of the statute So the bailiffs were sworn agai and in their charge the jury file out to go to the jury room an, change the phrasology of the yer diet to meet the exact wording c t the statute.

DEATH PENALTY
Inflicted by Santa cruz County Jury Upon Domingo Franco of pats-
 gonla.

Wednesday the District Court was engaged in the trial of the case of Domingo Franco of Patagonia, who was indicted by the grand jury At the present term of Court for the murder of Francisco Amado, also of Patagonia, committed at liar shaw, on the nineteenth of March, exactly a month preceding the trial.
 The jury impanelled to try the case consisted of Joe Carbon, Flo Jones, D. O'Brien, A. P. Burch, Frank Fitch. T. J. Wylie, Joseph E. Wise, Owen H. Walker, W. N. Lester, James Bent, Ferd Van Monrick, Ed Lanier.
 The Territory was represented by District Attorney w. A. O'Con- nor; and $. F. Noon, Frank J. Barry and Leslie c. Hardy appear ed as counsel for defendant.
 Without going into a detailed account of the case, it is sufficient 10 state that on the afternoon and evening of the eighteenth of March the defendant, Domingo Franco was at Harshaw, having gone there from Patagonia, where is his home, to give some attention, as he testi- fled himself, to a house there owned by him, one of the witnesses being his tenant, and with whom he left his revolver when he reached the place. In Harshaw that night there was a ball which was at tended by both Franco, the defen- dant, and Amado the deceased. As upon many such occasions in this part of the country among cer- tain element of society, more or less liquor was indulged, and it is likely that the two principals in the tragedy were under the in huence more or less, although that was denied by all the witnesses The testimony went to show that at the ball there arose an alterca ton of some sort between Franco and Amado. Between one and two o'clock in the morning FrancO's tenant and another man named Alvarez, repaired to the house 0 the former to have some coffee While they were there Franco anC Amado came to the house and re newed their altercation, in tht course of which one struck tn, other, Franco testifying that h, was the one who, although none 0 the others saw who delivered tn, blow. They heard the slap, anC all assumed that the skipping wa done by Amado, although they could not so testify directly. Tn, two altercants went outside, t nave out the difficulty in the open In few moments Franco returned and demanded his revolver, whicl hls tenant told him he did no have. He had delivered the wea pon to Alvarez), Franco had tw, cuts in his face and one in his necl which he said Amado had just in 1Icted with pocket knife.
 The following morning, whel Franco had saddled and was read to start back to Patagonia he wen and got his revolver, in deliverin ot which Alvarez was very carefu to have witnesses. Going dow I0o street to pass out of the tow toward Patagonia, as the defendan c0e,SUlhed, he stopped at the store c E.

AMERICANS HoNoRED
English Grant Them Prominent Place
In Coronation

London, May 2O.-ln these pre-
coronation days it is astonishing to
note the really extensive and serious
attention that is given by the English
press and people to the share that
Americans, resident and visiting, are
expected to take In an affair SO pe-
culiarly British.
For instance discussion is in pro-
gress as to who may be acclaimed the
loxeliest, the most popular or the
richest American peeress-something
after the fashion Of the old-time game
Of forfeits. In the matter Of beauty
the award seems strongly tending
toward the Viscountess Maidstone
who was Miss Marguerite Drexel
and who will be the Countess Of Win
chelsa and Nottingham, her husband
being heir to that historic earldom.
It is recalled that in her early girl
hood John Sargent, the painter, pro-
nounced her and her brother, Arm
strong Drexel, the "handsomest
youngsters in London" and 1t is not
ed that in her maturity she is as
lovely az she was when Sargent paid
her that compliment.
AZ q matter Of fact maturity" is
only q term, for Lady Maidstone Is
still in her early twenties. and q

with the historic beauties Of London.

Much discussion 10 made over the
now open secret that the Duchess Of
Marlborough was offered the honor Of
holding the canopy over Queen Mary's

understanding that she would decline

RECIPROCITY Will
HELP OLD COUNTRY
War Secretary Haldane Says
. canada's Action Pleases
British Government

London, May 2O.-The government
was sharply criticised by the Earl Of
Selborne in the house OF lords last
evening for extraordinary supine-
ness" in failing to safeguard the in
terestes of the United Kingdom in the
American and Canadian reciprocity
agreement. The earl referred to
President Taft's every remarkable
speech" and declared that the agree.
ment formed precedent capable Of
very large extensions.
1t was the first time in the history
of the empire that one party had OBJ
tained better terms from a foreign
country than had the United King
dom, and the step between receiving
and giving better terms was the
short one. If the dominions got &C.
customed to receiving better terms.
they might come to think that it was
natural to give foreign countries bet
ter terms than they gave the United
Kingdom or the other dominions.
Ratification of the agreement. the
earl concluded, would place this
country in position Of extraordi-
nary difficulty.
Oyer.estimated Damage.
Baron Lucas, parliamentary UNDER
secretary to the war office, replying
for the government, said the Earl az
Selborne greatly over-estimated the
damage to the trade of the United
Kingdom and the difficulties that
might arise from the reciprocity
agreement. Canada was perfectly
within her statutory rights, and the
government would not interfere. The
United Kingdom never could offer
Canada the same advantages as could
the United States, and must give
Canada fair field for promoting her
own prosperity as she thought best.
War Secretary Haldane, who re-
Gently was elected to the peerage,
said that 1t was the policy of the
government to give the people Of
Canada every facility to do the best
they could do for themselves. The
government held that it was not to
the disadvantage of the United King
dom that Canada should develope
States.
Will Help Both.
I'VE hold" continued the secre-
tary. that Canada with a great trade
Of this kind, cannot fail to be more
prosperous Canada, affording a bet
ter market for our goods aud able to
do more trade with ourselves. There.
fore from every point Of view We
look upon the step she 10 taking 40
probably very good step IN our in
terests as we'll as in the interests Of
Canada. 1t is not for US to inter-
meddle in her policies. We do not
think it a good thing to attempt to
guide or influence the policy Of our
great dominions in matters of trade.
We are free traders and we intend
to remain free traders"
