ment is expected early next month.

Continued deferment of bond offer
ings ON heavy scale is of necessity
bringing to bear upon quotations of
outstanding securities the full force
of Investment demand, and it is this
influence that largely explains the
current strength of the market. Trad
ing was fairly active yesterday, and the
upward trend of prices was maintained,
although no important advances were
scored French issues were con-
spicuous by reason of the volume of
dealings and because of appreciable
enhancement in value. Underlying
railroad bonds, some of the higher

tion group performed we'll. Liberty

To figure the precise yield on a bond IL
iF necessary to yield tables. but the
approximate yieid roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation bond into the rate
OF the annual return. IL the bond is selling
below par you must allow also for the
subtract the market quotation from par,
or 100. and divide the Remainder by the
number of years tho bond has TO run be-
fore maturity. For example, IL per
cent bond is selling at 90 and has ten
years 10 run. the annual return will be SOS
per cent. The difference between par and
the market price will be 10 points, sub
tracing 80 from 100. Dividing 10 points
figure is to be added to 666, which Is the
annual return. and the result, 1856 per
cent. will give you the approximate yield.

employee of Kneeskern told a story
which appeared damaging to the
defendant. On Sunday Dec. II, he
told about being in Kneeskern's of
flee when he came in and told him
he was going down 10 the cabin and
left there in car. Fisher said he
told Kneeskern he would like to
break the gun on the sidewalk. This
was about noon. He testified he
again saw Kneeskern between 8 and
6, and they talked about the murders.
He asked Kneeskern what was going
on and he answered that an accident
had happened and that Charles. and
Irene Van Brocklin were dead. Ask
ed how they come to be dead, and he
answered they had been shot and also
said, "Bill l didn't do it." The wit

read the verdict.
When the word guilty fell
from the judges lips, Mrs.
Chas. Van Horn, sister of the
defendant, became hysterieal
and. cried out eFrank you are
not guilty, your are not" She
was confronted by the defend
ant, who put his arm around
her and consoled her. He, APP
parently, was not affected by
the verdict, at least showing no
outward signs, and appeared
as unconcerned as he did all
through the trial.
The reading of the verdict
was all the court proceedings
last night, and Kneeskern was
taken back to the jail by
Sheriff Ellingson.
The verdict of guilty
brought in by the jury carried
with it as punishment impri-
sonment for life in the peni-
tentiary.

tions to the jury and the twelve men
retired to decide the fate of the
defendant at 4:30.
Last Saturday, by agreement of
both sides, the jurors were allowed
to go to their homes over Sunday.
There is nothing compulsory, as we
understand it, about keeping a jury
closed up, when both sides agree
to give them their freedom.
