VERDICT IN CARR CASE
SECOND DEGREE MURDER
Case Went to Jury Yesterday Evening"
Verdict Announced 9 O'Clock
this Morning.

The Harry E. Carr case wa:
given to the jury yesterday al
ternoon and it is generally un.
derstood that some time in the
night, between twelve o'clock
and daylight, an agreement hac
been reached and the Judge re-
ceived the verdict and dis
charged the jury, but did not
make the result public until 6
this morning. Under the law
the penalty for murder in the
second degree is confinement in
the penitentiary not less than ten
years. Mr.. Cars many Leav-
enworth friends hoped he would
be acquitted, but realized that
under the law it was hardly to
be expected. The only ground
upon which the jury could have
acquitted him, without disregard
ing the instructions Of the court,
would have been a state of mind
that made him morally and le-
gally irresponsible for his act
For the killing of Franklin il
would scarcely be possible to
find a jury that would convict.
While the killing OF Franklin is
justified in the minds of those
familiar with circumstances, the
jury probably could not get
away from the factthat Mr.. Carr
killed J. G. Parsons while in the
act of committing an offense
in itself unlawful. Much as we
regret the conviction, more espe-
cially as Mr.. Parsons own FAM
lily did not desire it, we yet ex-
pected conviction.

A brief resume of the tragedy which
led up to the killing Of ]. c. Parsons,
a highly respected citizen of the Cash
mere valley, is not out of place. Dur
ing the summer OF 1914 man by the
name Of c. D. Franklin, a resident ol
Leavenworth for year, coming here
from Wenatchee, formerly lived at Bur
lington, Wash, very active in church
work, organized a Baptist church and
Sunday school, pretended to be fond
of children, seemingly active in then
welfare, especially little girls, took lib
critics with some, and committed the
most heinous offense against others,
among them the eleven year old child
of the man on trial for murder. Frank
lin was arrested and his examining trial
set for Dec. z, at Cashmere. H. E.
Carr never got sight of Franklin until
court was opened at Cashmere. When
Franklin was brought in Mr.. Carr shot
him three times, one of the balls, after
passing through Franklin, struck J. c.
Parsons who had been summoned as a
Juror. Both men died in few mo-
ments. Mr.. Carr is on trial for the
killing Of ]. c. Parsons. AS yet nc
charge has been placed against him
for the killing Of Franklin.
He is represented by Hon. Frank
Reeves, of Wenatchee, and Col. E.
H. Fox, OF this place. Following are
the Jurors: ]. N. Brown, A. B. Court
way, w. R. Foster, Peter Wheeler,
Fred Wise, Grace Hufmaster, Nick
Hill, F. T. Blunck, Joel Haskins, o.
L. McCrosky, G. o. Young and P. P.

on Open Mind dness

Robert NJ Brecko1s, Republican

morning after taking the first half of
the island tour with the congressional
party. He was called home on bust
ness and is unable to include Kauai
in the tour,
s. From my observation Of the con.
gressionai party, can vouch at least
for their good nature" he said today.
Throughout the Mani trip, and the
Hawaii trip as far as | saw it. there
were practically no kicks. Not only
We're the party tolerant of the many
inconveniences necessarily incident to
the handling of so large and distin-
guished a crowd, but numerous ex.
pressions could be heard to the effect
that the entertainment committee was
entitled to much credit because there
were so few.
Whether any practical good will re.
suit from the trip is Of course prob.
lematical However, If the expressions
of congressman are to be relief on, we
may an rest assured that no fegisla
ticn inimical to the interests of Ha
waii will be adopted. save with re.
eIes. - -
The great majority of the visitors
are of an inquiring turn of mind and
are welcoming suggestions of every ma
ttre. Homesteaders, plantation man
ayers and laborers all receive most
attention.
Il am OF the opinion that Hawaif's
claim for statehood has received a
very careful consideration and that
more than one convert has been
made. !"
