IS FOUND GUILTY

ELKO.-Thomas Russell was
found guilty Of first degree murder
this morning for the killing Of
Mamie Johnnie. an Indian girl last
September. The verdict was re-
turned after the jury had deliber-
ated for some time.
Russell, who took the stand in
his own defense yesterday after
noon, testified that the girls mother
welded the knife which took her
daughters life. they having quar-
relied over money matters. The
daughter slapped her mother, he
said, and she then drew . knife
and stabbed the girl twice.
The witness further testified that
the girl did not die Immediately and
begged him to leave, telling him she
did not want to make any trouble
for her mother. Russell explained
his sudden leaving by informing the
jury that after the girl had urged
him to leave he boarded q freight

where he was placed under arrest.
Further testimony by Russell was
that he had often gone to China
town after the mother, who. he said,

sions he asserted, the mother had
tried to poison him. A part Of the
last testimony was borne out by
! other witnesses.
