HOW IT WAS RECEIVED, No Expression of Surprise Shown by Either of the Pris- oners. GRIEF OF VAN HORN'S MOTHER. The Sheriff Makes Five More Arrests for Complicity in the Little. field Murder. ‘W EAVERVILLE, CAn, May 21.—The case of Crow and Van Horn for the mur- der of Jack Littlefield went to the jury at 5:30 last evening. At 10:15 the court was called, when the foreman of the jury ane | nounced that they had arrived at a ver< dict. The courtroom was crowded with spectators anxious to witness the effect | upon the defendants when the verdict was announced, but they were disappointed 1t | anything like a sensation was expected. Crow took his seat in a very quiet manner, | showing not the least degree of nervous- | ness, but Van Horn showed that he had been under a great mental strain since the time the case went to the jury, and was quite nervous as he walked into the courte room and took his seat by the side of Crow. ‘When the clerk arose to read the vere dict as rendered by the jury the courte room was painfully quiet, as there were indications apparent to a close observer that a verdict of guilty in some degres was about to be read. Judge Ellison re~ quested every one present to refrain from any demonstration of their approval or disapproval of the verdict about to be rene dered. The clerk then read as follows: “We, the jury impaneled to try the case of the people of the State of California versus Bayles Van Horn and John Crow, defendants do find them guilty of murder in the second degree and recommend them to the mercy of the court.” There was not an expression of surprise | visible on the countenance of either de- fendant. Orow or Van Horn. ¥ = Satarday at 10 o’clock was the time fixed | for pronounciug sentence, and the jury was discharged from futther duty. The result of the trial was soon conveyved to the aged mother of Bayles Van Horn, when a most painful scene followed. Her shrieks and moans could be heard for a block distant, and every one within the sound of her voice could not refrain from expressing words of sympathy for the poor old lady, who feit that her son was innocent and that the jury could not do aught but acquit him. There was no demonstration of impore tance on the streets during the night, but small gatherings of Long Ridge and Round Valley men could be seen on every corner, and it was expected thatsomething to mar the peace of the community would occur before daylight. During this morning peace and quietude reigned until about 10:30 o’clock, when a surprise was sprung on Joe Gregory, Fred Radcliffe, Thomas Haydon, John Vinton and Buck Lacock by the Sheriff placing them under arrest and putting them behind the prison bars, with the exception of Buck Lacock, whois still confined to his bed with bronchitis. These five were charged with the murder of Jack Littlefield. The preliminary ex- amination will probably be setfor Mone. day moning. The verdict of the jury gives general sate isfaction.
