The verdict was prononnced at 12:02 o’clock this morning. The verdict read: “Murder in the first degree.” Becker was remanded for sentence to the Tombs by Justice Goff until October 30. Mrs. Becker, sitting outside the door of the courtroom, fell iia swoon when the verdict was announced. Becker did not flinch when he heard the verdict pronounced by Harold B. Skinner foreman of the jury. Immediate Appeal. John F. McIntyre, Becker’s chief counsel, announced’ that he would take an immediate appeal, but added beyond this he had nothing to say. The prisoner’s destiny was deliv- ered into the jury’s hands Thursday afternoon after a three-hour charge by Justice Goff, which Becker char- acterized as distinctly unfair and ‘a thin-veiled summing up for the state,” and upon which his counsel, John F, McIntyre, declined to comment. To do so, he said, would place him in contempt of court. In and Around Maysburg. There was a large. crowd attended the sale at Mr. Long’s Thursday. The ladies of the Baptist church gave the dinner.

Funny, isn’t it, how easily the Re- publicans remember the panic of 1893 and just as easily forget the panics of 1873 and of 1907. Funny, too, that in recalling the panic of 1893 they never remember to state that it started several months before the Democratic administration and Congress had had time to repeal asingle law passed by the Republi- cans? Perhaps these things are not really funny, but if they are they don’t com- prise all the humor of the campaign. For instance: : It’s funny that the Taft slogan bhould be ‘‘Why Change?” when the cost of living has advanced 62 per cent in the last ten years and the average wage only 10 per cent. It’s funny that in 1908 the Republi- cans promised to revise the. tariff} . downward, but revised it upward in- stead. It’s funny that, after they had thus directly repudiated their promises, Mr. Taft commended the Payne-Al- drich tariff law and vetoed the laws passed by a Democratic Congress which would have done what the Re- publicans had promised but refused to do—lower the tariff on food stuffs and the necessaries of life. It’s funny that the Republicans ex- pect the voters to give them credit for the bountiful harvests and con- sequent prosperity this year, and, with equally defenseless logic, expect them to give Providence the discredit for the panic of 1907. ate a funny campaign, to be sure!
