At ten minutes past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the jury in the case of Joseph A. Beam, charged with the murder of his stepdaughter, Annie L. Leahy, on the 22a of last December, after deliberating thirty minutes, returned a verdiet of guilty as indicted. The prisoner heard the. verdict seemingly with indifference. After his counsel had given notice of a motion for a new trial, he was remanded to jail to await sentence to death. Judge Cole's’ charge to the jury was an elaborate explanation of the defense of: in+ sanity and of the effect to be given the testimony in support of it. He. quoted! ex+ tenstvely from the charge of Judge Cox in the Guiteau case, which is recognized as a standard authority, and told the jury that they should either acquit or convict Beam of murder, directing them to dis- regard any idea that the crime was that of manstaughter. The most‘ that tented been shown was that Beam may have suffered from delusions, but all delusions: were not insane ones, said Judge Cole, and if the jury found that the man had onty erratic ideas he should be held responsible. To ex- cuse the man the insane delusions, if any he had, explained the court, must have been connecteu. with the killing as cause with effect. There could be, said Judge Cole, no more dangerous doctrine than that a man could be responsibly. sane the imoment before committing a.crime and ithe moment: afterward, but pie he very instant-it was committed.. Motive: for a crime tended: to show sanity, said the ‘court, and the mere epee or brutality. cruelty of it was no proof of insanity. @ONSTANT COUGH, WITH FAILING STRENGTH: / ala Wast! of Flesh, symptoms denot! i Fatmonary = mere of lees seriously aitectode i remed ‘all Lange Tbront-alls De Jayne's: Bayes - DIED.
