TOWNOROW FOUND
GUILTY Of VOLUN.
TARy MANSLAUGHTER

The Towndrow murder trial ended
Saturday night when the lawyers fin
ished their pleas to the jury. The jury
took the case and was unable to come
70 an agreement until Sunday morning
at 1880. which was as follows:
I'VE, the jury in the above entitled
cause, find the defendcnt guilty Of vol
untary manslaughter."
This decision is pretty Intent for
case of that kind, whers man Is
charged with the murder Of his wife
by striking her in the back of the head
with stove poker, after which an at
tempt was made to burn the home and
woman's body.
1t is said the only reason il was not
made n iirst-degree murder was he
cause the State could show no reason
or premeditation on the part of Town
drow when he went from the field In
which he was plowing to the house
where the killing occurred. Towndrow
did not deny that he and his wife had
had several "spats" and he had talked
bad to her, and it is supposed that he
became enraged because she was pre-
pairing to 20 to Ration to attend the
big picnic after they had decided not
to go any more. This is all SUPPOSE
ton on our part but the jury, which
sat for days listening to both sides men
we know to be honest in every way,
would not have allowed wife murder
or to escape the gallows, if the evil
dence had been strong enough to con-
vince them that they were right in
declaring for murder in the first de-
gree.
Nearly fifty witnesses were present
ut the trial for the State and defence.
Both sides were represented by good
legal talent and the case was hard
fought all the way.

JURY STILL OUT IN
ANDERSON CASE.,,EX.
PECT NO DECISION

Robt. Lee Anderson, charged with
the murder Of Geo. r. Zant, was tried
before district court in TucumcaIi this
week and the case took up most of the
week. II was hard to secure n jury
because so many had read his confess
sion and the writeup in the papers, so
they had already formed an opinion.
The panel was not completed until
Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses were
heard and both sides closed their ar
guments Wednesday night. the jury
taking the case after the court had
given its instructions.
II will be remembered by the read
ers OF the News that Mr.. Zant was
shot in the back of the head while he
lay peacefully sleeping early one morn
ing. At first il was reported that he
had committed suicide, then il was
found 20 have been impossible for him
TO shoot himself in the manner and
with shot gun like the one used by
the assassin. Then many suspicious
were aroused and people talked quite
freely about the subject and criticized
the officers for not making an arrest.
Then came Mr.. Heron, Of Texas, who
assisted the officers. and they succeed
ed in securing a willfui confession OF
the murder by Anderson.
Anderson's father came cut from
Texas and was allowed TO visit the boy
in the cell Then he claimed he did
in Jail. Then the boy claimed he did
not do the killing, but made the con-
fession in order to save his sister from
being arrested.
Mrs. Zant testified that her father
threatened to ruin her reputation un-
less she testified that some one else
did the shooting instead of her broth
er. She said she never thought her
brother or any member of the family
Id or would be mean enough tn kill
husband until her brother confess
and from other actions on his part
en- the father returned a few days
fore the trial and repeated his threat
she would not do his bidding. Il
IS sure a sad sight to see n sister
one side and brother and father
the other the father trying TO i'm
cate the woman, a mother of seven
phan children, in order TO save the
v who had confessed to the murder.
AT eight o'clock Thursday night the
Fy was still out. 1t was rumored
ht majority was for conviction but
ERE was no way TO find out how the
ry felt about the matter. From ap-
hrances now it looks as though it
II result in hung jury and the case
II have to be reheard next term.

GOV. MCDONALD VISITS TUCUM

Gov. W. C. Mcdonald and party ar
rived rather unexpected this evening
from Santa Rosa where he spoke on
political issues. The Governor is look

the best of spirits. They took dinner
ut the Vorenberg. They were kept
busy shaking hands with local demo-
Gratis until time for the speech of Clay
Talman, which was scheduled at the
Court house at 500 o'clock.
The Governor is having a strenuous
campaign this year as the Republican
state politicians seem TO be making
their hardest fight on him. Nc is
equal to the occasion and when they
burn him with their chatter, he pro-
duces more records to show them up
and then he asks for more records that
it seems they cannot produce.
Those who attend the speaking to-
night may hear the governor speak in
his own behalf.
