Jefferson City, Mo, June 14.—Dr. Jefferson D. Goddard was found | guilty of murder in the second de- | greeand his punishment fixed at | twenty years in the penitentiary for the murder of Fred J. Jackson in Kansas City on April 2, 1897. The jury returned a verdict in the | gircuit court at 9:25 this morning. Dr. Goddard shot and killed Fred- erick Jackson in thie city on Friday night, April 2,1897. The shooting took place in Mra. Jackson’s room in the Woodland hotel, eighth street and Woodland ayenue. Mr. and Mrs. ried in 1874 and had four children, all girls. The family came to Kan- sas City several years ago and open- eds laundry. Mrs Jackson met Dr. Goddard, who kept a drug store and became to all appearances, in- | Yatuated with him. She left her husband and went to live with her daughters in the hotel, where she was frequently visited by Dr. God- dard. The night of the shooting Jackson | who was almost blind, visited his wife and remonstrated with her against her relations with Goddard | and against her wasting money on him. He found Goddard in his wifes room; the men quarreled, Jackson drew a revolver and was | disarmed by his daughter Marie. | Jackson were mar: | | Jones advised me not to marry a said she was too young and | pretty.

Paul, Paul, I have feund a skelter im your true, loving heart, and I mean to nestle there always!” And then she cried—this foolish, soft-hearted little wife of mine. Jones and Tewksbury might have called this policy. Farnum would have said it was aeting. But it was very pleasant, and I felt more than ever like a man who has found some precious jewel, and wears it, like an amulet, on his breast. So things went on until the firm of which I was managing partner needed to send some one to Caleut- ta tose after a turbaned scoundrel of am agent, who had absconded more money than we could well afford to lose. Morrison was eld and feeble—Hewilt’s wife lay very ill, so I was the only one to go. I kissed Clara good-by as cheerfully as I could, fully expecting to be back in thres moaths or so. But—yeu know the old French adage—“I homme propose, et Dieu dispose!” I had to fellow the agent up into the mountains of India—I fell ill of one of these burniag climate fevers in the bungalow of an old native priest, and the months flew by until it was more than a year before I found myself on the deck of the Blue-eyed Mary, steaming into New York harbor. And, all this time, Clara had never heard a word from me. I had written to her to prepare her for what seemed almost like my rising from the dead, {but I had afterward found my letters in the pocket of the neglectful native sery- ant who had undertaken to deliver the mails to the Calcutta office. “But it don’t matter so muck, ow!” I thought; “she will be the more delighted, poor little girl.” And then a cold chill seemed to creep through all my veins, like No- vember’s wind suddenly breathing across a bed of flowers! Clara had heard nothing for nearly fifteen might net have happened in that time? All that Tewksbury, and Jones, and Allen, and all the other prophetic ravens of my aequaintance had said, recurred to my mind, like the burden of an uneasy dream. I had been counting the days, the very minutes until we should touch port—but now that my feet rang once more upon the pavements of my native city, I actually dared not go home. I turned into a downtown restau- rast, where I had bean wont te go in the days of my bachelorhood, and sluok into a dark eorner; the twilight was just falling, and I was sheltered by the partition. Hush! That was Tewksbury’s voice, barsh‘and jarring, as of oid. “Just what might have been ex- pected,” said Tewksbury. “Pretty young widows don’t go begging in this market.” “Folliott might have known it,” growled old Farnum. ‘Poor Fol- liott! There were some geod points about him, too. Sad thing that; very sad thing.” “We must all die,” bury, gravely. “Yes, but a fellow would naturally prefer dying in his own bed to being carried off by an East Indian fever and buried in the jungles.” Ishuddered. Had I then come! home to my own funeral, as it were? “And she’s going to marry young Birmingham, after all!” added Far num. The paper dropped from my | nerveless hand “I could have told Folliott so when Iheard what a confounded idiotic will he had made'” said Tewksbury. “So gold has fallenagain. Just my luck; I seld out to-night!” Istayed to hear no more, but |staggered out with one idea whirling through my of me said Tewks-| months—what j, into the darkness/ there feeling as Rip Van Winkle | must fel in the play—like a dead man walking the earth once more. | Voices and lights were within.

I gave my heart to the best and noblest man that ever breathed —Paul Folliott—and in his grave it is forever buried. I loved him ence; I shall leve him into etermty! I never was half worthy of him, but—” And Clara’s voice was choked with sobs. “My love—my darling—my own precious wife!
