CONVICTED MAN IS
To Be ARRA|GNED
TO LEARN HIS FATE
W. K. UMPHERY, WHO WAS
FOUND GUILTY OF KILLING
MR.. STANTON, MAY BE SEN
FENCED THIS MORNING.

w. K. Umphery, the white man
who was convicted in the circuit court
Wednesday night of numbering Mr..
Stanton, and who was recommended
by the jury to the mercy of the court,
will be arraigned for sentence this
morning at 10 o'clock. At the same
time, and previous to the convicted
man learning his fate, which is likely
to be confinement in the state peni-
Tertiary for life time, a motion for
an arrest of Judgment and for a new
trial is expected.
This motion will be argued, on
points which are to be stated at the
opening of the court. Of course Judge
Wilson will hear the motion, and in
case there is no desire to grant the
same, he will pronounce sentence
upon Umphery.
The latter, it is said, believed that
the jury was going to find him not
guilty until the body kept extending
their absence from the court room,
and when thirty minutes had passed,
he was quoted as saying, he chung to
the hope that it would result in mis-
trial, as the accused believed there
would be no hope of the twelve men
agreeing, after that time.
Mrs. Stanton, who had also been
indicted, but whose case was thrown
out at the request of the state, lost
no time in returning to her home yes
terday. It was stated at the county
Jail she had no time to lose with UNI
phery after the verdict had been re
turned against him, and when it was
decided to quash the Indictment which
had been returned against him. She
went back to her home near McKin-
nonville.

1853 TROUT CAUGHT.
by PARTY FROM THE.
CITY At EsCAMB|A.
HUGE SUCCESS OF A LOCAL
PARTY, WITH VISITING BIRM-
INGHAM MAN, WITH ROD AND
REAL NEAR TRESTLE.

Fishing several hours at the Es-
Gambia trestle yesterday, a local
party, who made up the trip in honor
of Hon. John Burrell, of Birmingham
caught a total of 1853 trout, and q
monster sheephead, weighing exactly
seven pounds. This was one of the
largest specimens of this kind of fish
which has been hooked in local OF
nearby waters for many weeks, but
one weighing about the same was
caught off the navy yard some time
ago.
The yacht Emma N was used for
the trip. Those who went along, all
of whom were successful in landing
one or more of the beauties, were:
JOS. Nicalau, who acted as captain;
Capt. Stearns, who looked after the
engine; and Messrs. L. Meharg, John
Murich and John Mann, all of Pen
sacola, and Of course Mr.. Burrell, the
honored guest.
Some of the trout were among the
largest that have been caught at that
popular fishing point, and last night
many of them were prepared and
eaten by the party and few invited
friends. Mr.. Burrell shipped half q
dozen Of the very finest to his home
in Birmingham, and his friends were
not giving it away just what he wrote
as to who caught them.
1t was about the first time the
Birmingham man had fished in Local
waters, and, his friends tell it, that
while trying to out-do his companions
in landing the biggest fish, he hooked
a crab. He pulled it to the top anc
quickly tipped it into the boat. "What
in the have go, thousand.
leg 2" was the remark attributed tt
him, his friends laughing over the ex.
preston as they related it on arrival
well, that was the first thing il
impressed me as being" said Mr.
Burrell to Journal reporter ano
after the did. thing dropped from
the hook it tried to hide behind q
board" This latter exclamation
caused roar from his jolly crowd Of
entertainers.

STAGE ALL SET FOR
MURDER TRIAL NEXT
WEEK IN SANTA ROSA
SPECIAL TERM OF CIRCUIT
COURT, WHICH HAS BEEN
AGAINST TWO MEN.

All is in readiness for the trials of
Barbaree and Mitchell at Milton
next week, for the alleged murder of
Peter Wyman and wife, and it is pos
sible that it will be couple of days,
possibly three days, before the testi-
mony is started.
This was the expressed opinion of
Sheriff Harvell of Milton, who was
here on official business yesterday
and who will of course be the one
who will be called upon, in the course
of time, to act as the first man in a
certain expected proceeding in case
they are convicted Of the offenses for
which they are charged.
A special venire, it is expected, will
be the first move in the case, and il
may be a couple of days before the
return on half a hundred or more
names to be drawn from the box, will
be ordered. This is expected to start
the case on Wednesday afternoon OF
Thursday. ~
It is understood that there will be
motion to continue the cases on to
probably the regular term Of the cir
cult court, few months hence, but il
is expected that, because the special
session has been called for the pur-
pose of trying the cases, Judge Camp
bell, who will preside, will insist upon
the trial proceeding.
