The cir- cumstances of the murder have been related at length by Tine TRinung. Meridith and Murphy were vazahonds traveling scross the Htate [rom Niles, Michi, In 8 wagon. They camped near Gridley. Next morning Murphy was found dead in the brush, his head torn to pleces by tho shot of a gun, Meridith was arrested at Chats- worth next day, and was tried Jast year and sentenced to be hanged, Owingtoan Informality asccond trial was obtained. The second trial began 1ast Tuesday, and occunied the attention of Judge Pillsbury all the week. Baturday was consumed {n the snceches of counscl, and the care went to the Jury late In the day, Atalate. hour the jury returned a verdict of guilty, fix- ing :he_[erdlct at fourteen years in the Peniten- tlary. There was no doubt of Meridith's guilt, and, had the Jury not believed that Meridith is & man of weak mind, he would surely been con- signed to the gallows. Daring the trial, Meri- dith manifested a stolid indifference, or, rather, unconsciousness of the predicament in which he stood, gazing vacantly out of the - court-room window, or serivhbling on pleces of paper. To-lay he manifests utter despalr, and hias spent the day In weening and Inmeutation, declaring that he” would prefer o death sentence, ond, by thoss who observed him while under senience of aeath, it is be- MNeved e means what he says. The murder was o rmost brutal and shocking one, and people are heartlly glad;tbat Merldith has not cscaped its penalty. A BLOODTHIRSTY VIRGINIA BOY.
