LINCOLN, May 12.—(Special to The Bee.) ’ «The jury in the case In wikch Green 8. Graveley was charged with the murder of Charlie Thomas brought in its verdict this forenoon, after being out for nearly forty- elght hours. The verdict was that Graveley was guilty of manslaughter and the jury recommended to the court the heaviest sentence permitted by the statutes, which is ten years at hard labor. The verdict is con- sidered extremely fortunate for the accused, for a formidable number of the jurors held out for conviction of murder in the first degreo. The evidence was thoroughly' dis- cussed In the jury room and those in favor of the lighter sentence finally prevailed. While a great many who have followed the ease belleve that Graveley killed his adversary in self-defense, the proof was not “~.strong enough to convince the jury. Grave- ley has already served a term in the Ne- braska penitentlary for manslaughter, hay- ing killed a man at Sidney in a saloon fight a number of years ago. He was at one time trooper In the Ninth United States cavalry and bears the scars of a great many en- * counters with the Indians. He is a desper- ate character, however, and a great many people feel that the community will be safer while he Is making barrels in the stato penitentiary. STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES.

WILL ACCEPT THE ORDINANCE. The Nebraska Telophone company has ac- cepted the conditions placed upon it by the ordinance passed by the city council last Tuesdey night and within thirty days will commence work upon the new improvements. These Improvements wiil consist of a three story fire proof bullding, an underground system of wires for the business portion of the city and a new switchboard of the latest device. ~ The wire system will be cou structed simflarly to the Omaha system, with | the exception that all conduits will be laid | under the alleys instead of under the streets. Manager Eiche informed The Bee this morn- ing that still another improvement over the Omaha system would be adopted. The im- provements will necessitate the expenditure of more than $100,000 and it is believed that the entire work can be completed within Under the proyisions of the ce the telephone company pays the city $500 per annum as a privilege tax. The ordinance vetoed by Mayor Weir gave the city the right to use its poles for city wires whenever necessary and furnished the city with ten telephones free of cost. Rates for telephone service were also fixed by the former ordinance, the rate for residences being $3.50 per month and for business houses $4.50 per month, with an increased charge of 50 cents per month for each additional mile from the telephone office. Under the new ordinance the city loses all these privileges and the telephone company is conceded the right to fix its own rates. > LINCOLN IN BRIEF.
