 brought in. today. when it reported at
 los1; That the 12 good men and
 without bitter fight was indicated
 Tn the long time during which they 0eatbefated. The case was given 10
 the jury at 12:15 p. >m., yesterday. The jury reported an improper ver-
 dict at first, the foreman stating,
 out specifying the degree. They were
 ordered to return a complete state ment. =
 Allen took the verdict calmly and
 responded firmly to Judge Staples
 questioning. The other members of the Allen gang heard his doom with grim set faces. Mrs. Allen, the faith fhl wife of the prisoner sat dazed for . moment and then sobbed violently in her black bordered handkerchief,
 leaning on her husbands shoulder. The crowd that throngcd the court. room made no demonstration.
 Told to stand to hear the verdict. the prisoner hobbled slowly to his place, hIs face grim ana, stsrl. but
 drawn in painful lines. Iii the words of the mountaineers in the courtroom. "Old Floyd took ,his medicine like man" and lived up to the Allen trA- dition that none of the family ever feared to face death. :, Floyd Allen was charged specift cally with the murder of Commo1-
 wealth Attorney Thomas B. F. Fes- ter. Immediately after the verdict was returned the defense noted exceptions and although they did not at once give notice of appeal it was expected Judge Staples would grant them this opportunity.
 The jury did not render it's verdict immediately upon converting of court. Judge Staples sent for the IF men and after fnquiring whether they had reached verdict, gave them further instruction. The jury filed out. and was back within 10 minutes with their
 final decision Judge Staples postpon- ed the sentencing of Allen until the trials of all of the gang shall have been concluded.

 k Anderson fell into a cellar, leaving Kraft to capture the supposed burg lar. and when Kraft made the cap ture he found that it was no burglar ness man who had adopted by no means novel the experient of climbing through a window of his place of business when he had forgotten his key.
 Anderson and Kraft do duty along East Main street. from Crescent ave nue to Shelton street. Some time be- fore daybreak this morning, Ander- son discovered what he supposed to be a cracksman lurking in the side of a laundry on his heat. Anderson got in wireless communication with Kraft and both prepared to make the big capture.
 E. Anderson made it up with Kraft that he was to have credit for the capture. and Kraft could come in for honors, as reinforcements if any were needed. Both watched the cracks man carefully, and when he had flung up. q side window. and tossed his left ward and grabte6 tlie femaf nti4s leg.

 It took but a moment for him to convince the policemen thai he be- longed there. He and Kraft then de- voted their attention to the fallen policeman. Anderson was hauled out of the cellar a sorry look spectacle. His trousers were rent from starboard d to port and he had suffered several painful bruises as well.
 Kraft helped Anderson to limp back to the Second precinct station where he told Sergeant O'Connell the thrilling tale. Anderson pinned his trousers together temporarily, sneak ed home by back streets and rubbed himself generously with liniment He said he expected to be back on duty tonight. M

Joseph Tesla, the boy who was or trial before a Criminal Superior court jury for stealing $136 from Mrs. Car rie Rogan of 600 Berkshire avenue was found guilty this morning. Judge Bennett sentenced him to jail for months. There was a reason for this light sentence

When Tesla got into the present trouble Judge Ben- nett revoked the suspension of sen- tence and Tesla will start today to serve a year in the North avenue in- stttution.
