‘ | i } The Herald--Review. | CONSIGNED By E. C. KILEY, ° MIN D RAPIDS, - In the Rhenish and Westphalian fn- dustrial districts there is hardly a town without its smoking clubs, in which a prize is given to the man who can consume the largest quantity of tobacco in the shortest time. There are seventeen communities of Shakers in the United States. The Amana Society has 1,800 souls, and the Harmony Society, of Economy, Ohio, has but nine resident members left. ‘The Zoarites and the Ruskin colony, of Georgia, have both recently disbanded. Only two women in the United States may use the mails without pay- ing for the privilege. These two are widows of former presidents—Mrs. Julia Dent Grant and .Mrs. Lucretia A. Garfield. Mrs. Garfield has enjoyed ‘the privilege since 1881 and Mrs. Grant since 1886. In Sweden, writes an American trav- eler, the saloons are closed on Satur- day—pay day—while the savings banks are kept open until midnight. No government can force a man to save his money, but at least this Swed- ish system encourages him to deposit it where he will draw bettor interest than a headache. Even looting has its humorous side. A Chinese sneakthief recently entered an American dining-room in Shank- hai and abstracted a few teaspoons, a silver syrup jug and an old clock, all of which he tucked, Chinese fashion, into his clothes. The syrup ran down and for a long way the thief’s progress could be traced. ‘What a pity,” was the \philosophical comment of the owner of [the articles, “thai the clock did not run down, too!” King Edward, who, it is said, suffers more than most men from a silk hat, having constantly to raise it in re- sponse to the salutes of the men in the street, gives his head a holiday when he gets to sea. Amid the more exciting things seen on board Sham- rock. II. at the time of the accident tne King’s headdress managed to escape public notice. It was the acme of comfort, being a close-fitting, cap, rather of the old night-cap pattern, made of the softest white silk. A demand is being made in Jamaica for the suppression of the practice of ganjah smoking among the many thousands of East Indian coolies who work on the banana and sugar planta- tions throughout the colony. Ganjah is a variant of Indian hemp, or bhang, which was employed to arouse the fierce passions of the rebel Sepoys dur- ing the Indian mutiny, and which to- day is responsible in the East for many cases of “running amok.” The coolie who smokes this most perni- cious weed freely becomes an incar- nate fiend with the most homicidal tendencies. The lingering death of the late dow- ager Empress of Germany has had few counterparts in English royal his- tory. Twenty-five per cent of the num- ber that has reigned there since the conquest met violent deaths. Two, Henry VII and Edward VI, died of consumption. Old age, with its com- pligation of physical troubles, helped to carry off Victoria, George III, Eliz- abeth, Henry VI, William VI, Edward IiI and Henry III. Three died young, Edward V, at fourteen; Edward VI, at sixteen, and Henry VI, at thirty-three. Queen Anne died comparatively young of apoplexy. Mary’s death is said to have been due to sorrow over the loss of English territory in France. Henry Vi’s and George III's last days were clouded with dementia, and George Il’s demise was occasioned by the bursting of a blood vessel. A radical innovation has _ been adopted by the Arkansas Board of Charitable Institutions, regarding the management of the State Insane asy- jum that is causing consternation among the employes of the institution. The board has adopted a resolution to the effect that the superintendent shall as speedily as practicable secure only citizens of Arkansas for the various positions, and that the change shall be made in ninety days at the furthest. ‘There are 106 employes at the asylum, white and colored, and of these about 60 are citizens of the state. Of the white employes, including the assist- ants and those in the higher stations, not more than 25 per cent will be ex- empt from dismissal. Superintendent Hooper says that the order leaves them in “a mighty bad fix.” All su- perintendents have found it necessary to send outside the state for certain of the expert attendants in the care of the insane, and it is said that it will- be difficult to fill the quota with per- sons as thoroughly competent. Under the order, however, 60 of the employe: must be discharged within the next three months. A bath-house for negroes is being talked of by a Kansas City paper. It says this need has been generally rec- ognized and has often been expressed by those who have watched the crowds at the public bath and realized the dis- appointment of the colored people in not being provided with the facilities enjoyed by white folks. This has re- sulted in starting a fund for the pur- pose of building a bath-house for ne- groes. The members of the park board, as individuals, have subscribed $50 each, and it is believed that other sub- scriptions will be made rapidly. Vaceaaieat TO THE TOMB ALL THAT WAS MORTAL OF THE MARTYRED PRESIDENTjIS LAID TO REST, SCENE OF MOURNFUL GRANDEUR Was Shown to Any Man Living or Dead Than Was Shown to the Dend President at Canton—Final Greater Reverence Never Ceremonies Are Grandly Simple and Impressive—Pathetic Feature Was the Absence of Mrs. McKin- ley, Who Was Too Weak to At- tend the Services, Canton, Ohio, Sept. 21.—With majes- tic solemnity, surrounded by his coun- trymen and his townspeople, in the presence of the president of the United States, the cabinet, justices of the United States supreme court, senators and representatives in congress, the heads of the military and naval estab- lishments, the governors of states and a great concourse of people who had known and loved him, all that is mor- tal of the third president to fall by an assassin’s bullet, was committed to: the grave. It was a spectacle of mournful grandeur. Canton ceased to be a town and swelled to the proportions of a great city. From every city and ham- let in Ohio, from the remote corners of the South and from the East and West the human tide flowed into the town until 100,000 people were within its gates, here to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. The final scenes at the First Metho- dist church where the service was hela, and at the beautiful Westlawn ceme- tery, where the body was consigned to a vault, were simple and impressive. The service at the church consisted of a brief oration, prayers by the minis- ters of three denominations and sing- ing by a quartet. The body was then taken to Westlawn cemetery and placed in a receiving vault pending the time it shall be laid to rest Beside the Dead Children who were laid to rest years ago. The funeral procession was very imposing and included not only the representa- tives of the army and navy of the United States, but the entire military strength of the State of Ohio and hun- dreds of civic, fraternal and other or- ganizations. It was two miles long. There was no greater reverence shown to any man, living or dead, than to the dead president yesterday. As the funeral procession passed women sobbed convulsively. It was a wonder- ful tribute of surpassing love that was rendered yesterday in his native place to the memory of William McKinley, and it will be long before greater or more reverent honor is paid to any man. It was exactly four minutes af- ter 4 when the funeral car bore the re- mains of the dead president through the gateway of his last resting place. Twenty minutes after that time the brief services at the vault was over, the members of the family and dis- tinguished men of the nation who had come so far to do him honor, had passed through the gates on their homeward way. One hour and forty minutes after the hearse had entered the cemetery the place was clear and the dead president was resting alone under the watchful care of the men of the regular army. A Sentry’s Mensured Tread resounde@ from the cement walk be- fore the vault, another kept vigil on the grassy slope above, and at the head and at the foot of the casket stopd armed men. Before the door, which was not closed, was pitched the tent of the guard, and there it will remain un- til the doors are closed to-day. Sen- tries will then guard the vault every hour of the day and night until the body has been borne to its final rest- ing place. Nature was kind in selecting the last resting place for President McKinley. Westlawn cemetery is on a high knoll overlooking the peaceful valley, with the busy little city of Canton laid out below. If it was not for an intervening church spire one might get from this elevation a glimpse of the McKinley home. Here looking out on his native city and his native state the body of William McKinley fs laid to rest. The beauty of the grounds here attracted the country’s landscape gardeners who have journeyed here to study its at- tractions. Yesterday it was doubly beautiful with the rustling trees giving off their first yellowed leaves of fall and adding a golden touch to the green clad slopes. Just inside the stately en- trance stands the gray stone vault where for a time the casket will re- pose. Its dreary exterior was relieved yesterday by Great Masses of Flowers banked all about until the gray walls were shut out from view. But in due time it will be taken from the vault and committed to the little plot of ground lying further on. This is the McKinley lot, and here lie his father, whose name he bore, the mother he guarded so tenderly in Hfe, his brother James, his sister Anna and his two children. And when that time comes a stately shaft of granite will arise above the grave telling of the civic virtues, the pure life and the martyred death of William McKinley. One of the most pathetic features of the day was the absence of Mrs. Mc- Kinley from the funeral service at the church and cemetery when the body of her husband was lafd to rest. Since the shock of the shooting, then of death, and through the ordeal of state ceremonies, she had borne up bravely. Memorial Service in England. London, Sept. 21. — By command of King Edward a memorial service in honor of the late President McKinley was held in Westminster abbey, It was attended by many Americans and Englishmen of distinction. The lord steward of the household, Lord Pem- broke, represented the king. The London morning papers aain ap- pear with black borders and accounts of the funeral at Canton and of me- morial services and tributes through- out the world. The memorial services generally comment upon the wide- spread sympathy evoked everywhere. -the governors of several But there was a limit to human endur- ance, and when yesterday came it found her too weak to pass through the trials of the final ceremonies, Through the open door of her room she heard the prayer of the minister as the body was borne out of the house. After that Dr. Rixey remained close by her side, and, although the full force of the calamity had come upon her it was believed by those about her that there was a providential mercy in her tears as they gave some relief to the anguish of the heart within. At 7 o'clock last night President Roosevelt and the members of the cab- inet started back to Washington. ANGUISH IN EVERY HEART. ef William Neighbors MeKinley Tenderly Receive His Martyred Body. Canton, Ohio, Sept. 20.—Tenderly and reverently those who had known Will- iam McKinley best yesterday received his martyred body into their arms. They had forgotten the illustrious ca- reer of the statesman in the loss of a great personal friend who had grown dearer to them with the passing of the years. They hardly noticed the presi- dent of the United States or his cabi- net or the generals and admirals in their resplendent uniforms. The beau- tiful flag-draped casket which con- tained the body of their friend and fel- low-townsman held all their thoughts. He had left them two weeks ago this very day in the full tide of the strength of a glorious manhood and they had brought him back dead. Anguish was in the heart of every man, woman and child. The entire population of the lit- tle city and thousands from all over Ohio, the full strength of the national guard of the state, eight regiments, three batteries of artillery, one battal- ion of enginees, 5,000 men in all, the governor, lieutenant governor and @ justice of the supreme court represent- ing the three branches of the state gov- ernment were at, the station to receive the remains. The whole town was in deep black. The only house in all this Sorrow-stricken City, strange as it may seem, without a touch of mourning drapery was the old familiar McKinley cottage on North Market street to which so many distinguished men in the country have made pilgrimages in the days that are gone. The blinds were drawn but there was no outward token of the blow that had robbed it of its most precious possession. The flowers bloomed on the lawn as they did two weeks ago. There was not even a bow of crape upon the door when the stricken widow was car- ried by Abner McKinley and Dr. Rixey through it into the dzrkened home from which the light, for her, had fled for- ever. Orly the hitching post at the curb in front of the residence had been swathed in black by the citizens in or- der that it might conform to the gen- eral scheme of mourning decoration that had been adopted. Sad as was the procession which bere the body to the courthouse, where it lay in state yester- day afternoon, it could not compare with the infinite sadness of that endless double line of broken-hearted people who streamed steadily through the dimly-lighted corridors of the building from the time the coffin was opened un- til it was taken home to the sorrowing widow at nightfall. They stepped soft- ly lest their footfalls wake their friend from His Last Long Slecp. Tears came unbidden to wet the bier. Perhaps it was “the great change that had come upon the countenance which moved them more than the sight of the familiar features. The signs of discol- oration which appeared upon the brow and cheeks Tuesday at the state cere- monial in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington had deepened. The lips had beccme livid. All but two of the lights of the chandelier above the head were extinguished in order that the change might appear less noticeable, but every one who viewed the remains remarked the darkened featureg and the ghastly lips. When the body was teken away thousands were still in line and the committee in charge of the ar- rangements was appealed to to allow a further opportunity to view the re- mains this morning before they were taken to the church. But this had to be reluctantly denied to them and the casket may never be opened again. The funeral services will take place to-day at 1:30 p. m. at the First M. E. church, of which the martyred president was a communicant and trustee. They will be brief by the expressed wish of the family. An imposing procession con- sisting of many of the G. A. R. posts in the state, the national guard of the state, details of regulars *from all branckes of the service, fraternal, so- cial and civic organizations and repre- sentatives of commercial bodies From All Over the Country, states with their staffs, the house and senate of the United States and the cabinet and pres- ident of the United States will follow the remains to Westlawn cemetery, where they will be placed in a receiving vault awaiting the time when they will be laid in the grave beside the two dead children who were buried years ago. The number and beauty of the floral tributes which are arriving surpass be- lief. Flowers are literally coming by the ton. The hothouses of the country seem to have been emptied to supply them. President Roosevelt, his naval aide, Capt. Cowles, Se¢retary Root and As- sistant Secretary Hill are at the spa- cious residence of Mrs. George D. Harter on Market street. A company of the Ohio militia guards the house. During the afternoon the president walked over to the McKinley residence to inquire after Mrs. McKinley. He was informed that she had stood the trip from Washington bravely, but in the opinion of her physician it would not be advisable for her to attempt to attend the servic2s at the church to- day. She will, therefore, remain quiet- ly at her home with Dr. Rixey. Observed in St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 21.—In obedience to a genera! desire to show respect to Will- jam McKinley, St. Louis was perfectly quiet for five minutes yesterday after- noon, At 2 o'clock all river traffic, every street car in the city, every wheel on all the railroads terminating in St Louis, and all business pursuits stopped for that length of time. The police arrested their steps as the bells began to toll, and stocd hat in hand with bowed heads until the time al- lotted hed passed. _ SORROW IS. UNIVERSAL MEMORIAL EXERCISES ARE HELD IN ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, GRIEF FOR THE NATION'S DEAD Manifestation of the MightyrLove of the Republic for the Som Best Loved, Who So Loved Her and So ‘Well Served Her—People of Every Country, Sect and Opinion Join in the General Outburst of Sorrew— Business Everywhere Suspended. St. Paul, Sept. 20.— In every town and hamlet in the United States me- | morial services were held yesterday as a tribute of respect for the memory of the late president. Never before has there been such a universal manifesta- tion of sorrow over the death of any man. A marked feature of the exer- cises in the larger cities was the stop- ping of street cars, while passengers and employes bent their heads for a few minutes in silent prayer. Evyery- where business was suspended during the afternoon. MRailroad trains were stopped on all the principal roads in the country for five minutes during the funeral exercises at Canton. In this city memorial exercises were held following a parade of soldiers and veterans of the Civil war. Archbishop Ireland, H. F. Stevens and Dan W. Lawler were the speakers. In Minneapolis exercises were held in all the churches and a mass meeting was held at the exposition building. Prominent speakers paid eloquent trib- utes to the dead president. At Canton In Spirit. Duluth, Sept. 20.—The people of Du- luth were at Canton in spirit if not in person. All of the’ public buildings and nearly all of the business blocks were draped in mourning, while hundreds of dwellings displayed pictures of the martyred chief executive surrounded with mourning emblems. Business was suspended almost entirely during the afternoon. Union services were held at 2 o’clock at the First Methodist church. AN Join in Services. Stillwater, Minn., Sept. 20. — Every resident of Stillwater, regardless of politics or religion, yesterday joined in revering the memory of our late la- mented president, William McKinley, and the exercises held throughout the day in the churches and the opera house were deeply impressive. Simple but Imperssive. Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 20..— Me- morial exercises in honor of President McKinley were held in the Metropoli- tan theater yesterday afternoon. The auditorium was packed with people and hundreds were turned away un- able to obtain admission. The prayer was a simple one but the proceedings were very impressive. Hymns which the president loved were sung by the audience and prayers were offered by prominent pastors. Addresses were de- livered by Tracy R. Bangs, John M. Cochrane and Rev. E. J. Conaty. The Grand Army veterans turned out in a body and seats were reserved for them in the body of the house. All business places were closed and for the first time in the history of East Grand Forks the saloons on that side of the river were voluntarily closed during business hours. IN WISCONSIN. Business Is Laid Aside and People Give Expression to Their Sorrow. Milwaukee, Sept. 20.—Blaborate me- morial services were held at the expo- sition building yesterday out of re- spect to the memory of the late Presi- dent. The hall was densely packed with persons of. all creeds. The ser- vices consisted of addresses and: musi- cal numbers. Among those who de- livered eulogies were Mayor Rose, Judge James G. Jenkins of the United States court of appeals, Gen, F. C. Winkler and Judge ©. S. Elliott. Many of the churches also held special me- morial services. Business was general- ly suspended. Business Suspended. ‘West Superior, Wis., Sept. 20. — All business was practically suspended yesterday out of respect to the late president. Several memoria} services were held in different parts of the city. The larger and more important were the union church services and the mass meeting of citizens, the latter at the Grand opera house. A feature was the number of memorial services that were held by the different foreign church people of the city at different times during the day. A Day of Mourning. La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 20.—Yesterday was one of mourning in La Crosse. A drizzling rain and cold weather made the day a disagreeable one.

Washington, Sept. 25.—When Presi- dent Roosevelt took up his residence in the White House yesterday the last of the personal effects of Mrs. McKinley and her lamented husband had been packed away in boxes in the basement of the mansion ready for shipment to Canton to-day. The work of collecting and packing these effects was pez- formed by trusted servants of the late President and Mrs. McKinley. Various boxes and pieces of furniture, of which there are a large number, will be sent by express addressed to Mrs. McKin- ley. President McKinley and his wife had only a little furniture of their own in the White House, but of clothing and bric-a-brac ard various valuable souvenirs of William McKinley's term in office there is a very large stock. Some of the articles are of considerable intrinsic value. Among these are the beautiful vases presented to the late president by the president of France, a solid gold plate, weighing at least two or three pounds, presented to Mr. Mc- Kinley last spring by the Knights Templar of California, and other arti- cles made of precious metals and elab- orately embossed and engraved with appropriated inscriptions. MeKinley’s Many Presents. All these presents Mr. McKinley kept in his library in the White House, some of them in plain view of such visiting intimate friends as he sometimes re- ceived there. The late president also had a considerable number of books in the library and in other rooms in the private part of the mansion which were his personal property and which will be shipped to the Canton home of the widow. A part of the goods that will be shipped to Canton consist of souvenirs’ of President McKinley’s ex- tensive tours over the continent. Ev- erywhere he went in his travels, ex- tending over not less than thirty or forty thousand miles, he received some token or tokens of his fellow citizens’ esteem. President Roosevelt yesterday again went for a long horseback ride into the suburbs of the city. After the stream of callers at the White House had stopped for the day, and pending busi- ness had been disposed of, he spent some time out in the bright, crispy air and returned to the White House shortly before 7 o’clock. He was unac- ecempanied on his ride and was gone about two hours. The evening was spent very quietly at the White House. AS TO THE TEXAS, Part She Played in the Battle of Santiago Is Brought Out. Washington, Sept. 25. — The part played by the battleship Texas in the naval battle off Santiago July 3, 1898, in which the Spanish fleet under Admi- ral Cervera was sunk, was the basis of the greater part of yesterday's proceed- ings in the Schley naval court of in- quiry. Of the four witnesses examined during the day, three had been officers on board the Texas during the battle, and two of them were new witnesses. These were Commander George C. Hellner, who was navigator on the Texas, and Commander Alex B. Bates, who was the chief engineer on that battleship. Commander Harber, exec- utive officer, and the chief surviving officer of the ship since the death of Capt. Philip, was recalled. The fourth witness was Commander Seaton Schroeder, executive officer of the Massachusetts and now governor of the island of Guam. The testimony several times during the day was somewhat exciting, and it was especially so when Commander Heilner described the kattle and the part the Texas had taken in it. He said that when the Brooklyn made its loop at the beginning of the battle it had passed across the Texas’ bow at a distance not to exceed a hundred or one hundred and fifty yards, and that at the command of Capt. Philip the Texas had been Brought to a Dead Stop. Engineer Rates testified that the star- board engines had been stopped and said he thought this also had happened to the port engines. Commander Heil- ner expressed the opinion that three miles had been lost by this maneuver, and the fact that part of the machinery was deranged. He said he considered that the Texas was in greater danger when the Brooklyn crossed her bow than at any other time during the bat- tle. On cross-examination Commander Helilner admitted having taken part in the preparation of the official navy de- partment charts showing the positions at different times of the ships which participated in the battle. He said that according to this chart the two ships never were nearer than 600 yards of each other. But he contended the chart was inaccurate, and he said he had only consented to it as a compro- mise. Commander Bates admitted that the official steam log of the Texas con- tained no record of the signal to re- verse the engines. Commander Schroeder testified concerning the coal supply of the Massachusetts, which he said would have been sufficient for a blockade of from sixteen to twenty days. The day closed with another animat~ ed controversy between counsel as to the policy of bringing Admiral Samp- son’s name into the trial. MISTAKE CAUSED THE “LOOP.” Brooklyn’s Wheelsman Will Testify That He Made an Error. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 25.—W. B. Ad- ams, a warrant officer in the navy and the wheelsman on the cruiser Brooklyn at the famous Santiago engagement, passed through this city last night en route from the West to Washington, where he has been summoned as & witness in the Schley inquiry. Adams is accomranied by J. D. Long, master- at-arms, who was also on the Brook- lyn, and F. G. Anderson, who was & steward on the New York. Adams was uncommunicative himself, but from one of his companions it was learned that he will testify before the court of inquiry that the Brooklyn’s notorious loop was due to his error in executing the order of the executive offtcer of the Brooklyn. Adams was assigned to duty at the wheel and when the ex- ecutive officer ordered put “helm hard down,” he put it “hard to port” in- stead, thus turning the cruiser out to sea, necessitating the loop instead of a position to give Vizcaya the benefit of the broadside guns. Adams says that Schley was on the conning tower and that the order resulting in the loop was given by the executive officer, IS FOUND GUILTY LEON CZOLGOSZ IS CONVICTED OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. ‘ ONCE JUSTICE IS SPEEDY FOR TRIAL OCCUPIES A LITTLE OVER EIGHT HOURS ACTUAL ASSASSIN’S CUR-LIKE COLLAPSE WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY wa NTENCE IS PRO- NOUNCED. Buffalo, Sept. 25.—A verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree was re- ported at 4:25 o'clock yesterday after- noon by the jury which tried Leon F. Czolgosz for the assassination of Pres- ident McKinley. Eight hours and twenty-five minutes was the actual time occupied by the trial of the case and the deliberations and return of the jury. Eighteen days had elapsed from the shooting of the president and ten days and fourteen hours since his death. On Thursday the assassin will be sentenced to death and it is expected that his execution will occur within a month. No witnesses were sworn for the de- fense. Not a word of evidence was be- fore the court as to the sanity of the prisoner. The experts who examined him were not called. The court in- structed the jury that the proof of in- sanity is with the defendant—that a man must be Presumed to Be Sane unless proved insane. To the assassin was offered the opportunity to go on the stand, but he only shook his head when his lawyers asked him. He did not trust himself to speak. The un- concerned murderer of Monday had changed. His pallor had changed from white to yellow. His hands shook. He curtained his eyes with his lids and sat with his head hanging on his shoul- der, a nervous prespiration oozing out on his face and hands. In remaining mute throughout the assassin found a way to hold his composure, but yester- day afternoon in court he was a miser- able picture. No bravado, no courage, no defiance of death, not the glorifica- tion of the anarchist who “did his duty;” just a cur-like collapse. “He will be dragged to the death chair howling with terror,” said Chief of Detectives Cusack, who has studied him since his arrest. And the Fear That Was Written all over the assassin last night lent itself to the prediction. Interest in yesterday's proceedings goes first to the return of the verdict. While Justice White was delivering his charge to the jury the sky seemed suddenly to grow dark. Clouds blew up from the lake and rain threatened. Czolgosz glanced fearfully at the twelve men standing in their places in respect to the solemn words of the court. He signed for water and the de- tective brought him a glass. He gulped at it, handed back the glass and with his’ eyes almost closed as if he would shut out the scene. From time to time he would plunge his left hand into his coat pocket, bring out his handker- chief and mop his face. He opened his eyes quite wide when the judge turned from the jury and the tramp of feet told him that the jurors were to retire, The assassin Showed No Emotion when the verdict was announced, but he looked as if he were on the verge of physical collapse. Czolgosz has indicated to the guards who attended him that he will have something to say on Thursday when, according to the forms of justice, he is asked if he has anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced. He may then make some declaration of his motives, but he will have to recover his possession beyond what it was yes- terday. The announcement made yesterday afternoon by the attorneys for Czol- gosz that the eminent alienists sum- moned by the Erie County Bar associ- ation and by the ¢Cistrict attorney to examine Czolgosz and to determine his exact mental condition had declared him to be perfectly sane, destroyed the only stage of a defense that Judges Lewis and Titus could have put to- gether. Jury Says Guilty. It was 4:35 when the jury filed into the room. The clerk read their names, each juror responding “present” as his name was called. No time was wasted. The jurors did not sit down. Address- ing them, Justice White said: “Gentlemen, have you agreed upon & verdict?” “We ‘Wendt. “What is your verdict?” “That the defendant is guilty of mur- der in the first degree.” There was a moment of silence, then a murmur arose from the lips of the crowd. It ended there. There was no hand-clapping, no cheers. Justice White’s voice could be clearly heard in every part of the room when he thanked the jury for its work and al- lowed them to go. Court was at once adjourned. have,” responded Foreman President’s Daughter Enriched. Boston, Sept. 25.—By the will of Na= thaniel Hawthorne Cusack, who died in Washington, Aug. 23, James H.
