About 12:30 o’clock this morning, while Borgfeldt was closing the door of grocery, he heard men's voices as if raised in quarrel coming from the side- walk. He next heard the saloon doors open and the men come in. “Have you a gun?’ Borgfeldt heard some one exclaim. The next Instant shots 1ang out. The saloon man thinks there were four. Instead of entering the saloon, he ran out to the sidewalk through the door of the grocery, where he saw Wilson stand- ing, with a revolver in hand.

After an hour’s discussion of the facts of the case a ballot was taken, and it is the crime while three stood for her inno- cence. Another discussion followed, and the second ballot found but one man, Juror Mehrtens, favorable to the accused. Then the work of, bringing this juror to At night. Sunday morning came, and still he voted for acquittal. The jury was sent back for further deliberation, and again at 1 o'clock was called into the court- room. Foreman Manning stated that che lone juror simply sat mute and discussion of the case had ended. Again the jury was sent back, and at 6 o’clock the same scene was Cmid.ed Again the jury went back, and at 5 o'clock Monday morning Judge Lawlor was informed that the jury wanted certain testimony read. Judge Lawlor hurried to the courtroom, and then it was made krown that Attorney Mack, who represented the accused, had left the leaving Judge D. Lemon to watch city. The interests of his client. The city was Scoured for Lemon without avail, and W. Davidson, whose finally Attorney W. address was near the court, was appoint- | 24 by Judge Lawlor to represent the ac- cused. Mr. Davidson consented to repre- sent the murderess after the condition of affairs had been explained to him. Mrs. Adams also gave her consent to the sub- stitution of counsel, and the jury filed in. It was only upon one point that Mr. Mehr- tens hung—the point as to whether Har- rison Tyrrell, the young brother of the accused, had testified as to there being carbolic_acid, or any. liquid, in the bottle he found, from which' the poison was sub- sequently poured down the baby's throat. | The testimony showed that there was not any liguid in the bottle when it was ound, and a further reading developed the fact that after Mrs. Adams threw it out of the window, after the baby’s death, | there was a quantity of poison left there- in. This was all the evidence sought. The | reading occupied until 3:45 o'clock,. and | half an hour later the bell announced that a verdict had been reached. Mrs. Adams was brought into court, and her mother, Mrs. Kelly, and her brother, John Tyrreli, were seated near. Fore- man Manning rose in response to the question of the clerk as to whether or not a_verdict had been reached and said: “We, the jury, find the defendant, Minnie Adams, guilty of murder in the first de- gree, and fix and assess lLier punishment at confinement in the State’s prison for life. So say we all.” Then he continued: “We all regret the painful duty that h: been thrust upon us—the painful duty of passing judgment upon this woman for a crime that necessitates such a severe sen- tence. But it was our duty and we have obeyed the law.” Judge Lawlor bowed and the juror took his seat. In the meantime Mrs. Adams remained mute, not a shadow of emotion crossing her face. Judge Lawlor set August 19 as | the date of sentence, and then informea | the balliff to_take the jurors to an early breakfast and when all had been satisfied to procure conveyances and see them to their homes.

Prosecuting Attorney Carpenter asked for a continu- nce till to-morrow afternoon, as the po- desired more time to get their evi- dence. Attorney Harvey S. Brown, who repre- sents McPherson, objected strongly to a continuance and wanted the case gone on with at once. His client had been a long time in jail and was entitled to an im- mediate hearing. Attorney J. N. E. ‘Wilson then took a hand in the argument, and asked that McPherson's bail be reduced to $1000. He said the defendant could get bondsmen to that amount. The Judge refused to reduce the bail and made an order continuing the cases till to-morrow.
