That motion in the primary in Butler on the 12th inst., to elect delegates by a rising vote, was a veritable stroke of mercy.

The dead sisters were the idols of their home circles and universally esteemed by rich an¢ poor alike for their noble traits of character and charitable deeds. Mrs Theodore Shelton and Miss Eva Gentry, sisters of the dead ladies, came in trom St. Louis to- night and were overwhelmed with grief wher the tidings of the double affliction were broken to them. The blow falls with terrible force on Major Gentry.

State’s Attorney Grinnell said it would be impossible to dispose ot the motion during the present term, but by agreement the motion could be argued at the September term. This was agreed to by the defense. The court said: ‘tLet the motion until be entered and continued the next term and let the defendants be taken back to jail,” THE JURY GIVEN HIGH PRAISE. The court then addressed the jury | as follows: ‘*Gentlemen of the jury: You have finished this long and yery | arduous trial, which has required a very considerable sacrifice of time and some hardships. I hope every- thing has been done that could pos- i : be stbly be done to make those sacrifices and hardships as mild as night be permitted. It does not become me to say anything in regard to the case that you have tried or the verdict you have rendered, but men compulsorily Serving as a jury as you have done the deserve of service you have performed besides some recognition the meager compensation you have received.’* The foreman of the jury said: “The jury have deputed to me the only agreeable duty it is our province jto perform and that is to thank the | court and the counsel for the defense £, jand for the prosecution tor your kindly care to make us as comfort- able as possible during our confine- ment. We thank you.’’ The court responded very briefly. How Wade Supported Parkinson.
