The defendant’s aged mother sat be- tween her husband and the defendant. The three showed signs of the great men- | tal strain under which they were labor- | ing. They fixed their eves upon the jury | and Mrs. Belle McCottrey, the dead girl's | sister, also strained her eyes in the direc- | tion of the jury box. The clerk of the court asked the usual | question: “‘Gentlemen of the jury, have | you agreed upon a verdict?” and the fore- | man, Jerome B. Stanford, rose and sald, | slowly and deliberatel. We find the de- | fendant guilty of manslaughter.” Huntington started as if he had been | shot and his mother covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. The defendant put his arms around her and mingled his tears with hers. The jury was polled and each answered | in accordance with the verdict. The Judge then thanked and discharged them. The court announced -that sentence would be imposed Saturday and the de- fendant was taken to the County Jail. Ex-Judge Ferral will ask for a stay on/ Saturday, as he intends to appeal to the Supreme Court on the ground of misdirec- tion in the Judge's charge to the jury and the further ground that the Judge erred in not reading a part of the defendant’s instructions to the jury. 3 This 18 the first conviction of the kind for years and the police take credit to themselves for assisting in securing it. xchange your piano Incandescent light wiring a speciaity.

State Prison Directors are anxiously awaiting the report of Expert MacLaren, who is going over what few books are left at San Quentin Prison.

' This money, amounting | | to $3000, was given in September, 1891, and | was invested in shares of the Missourl | Pacific Rallroad Company of New York. | Nelther the shares nor the money have | been returned to him and he insists that Dr. Newell transferred or sold the stock to bis own advantage. Sheldon declared that when he discovered that he had been | duped, as he chooses to characterize the | transaction, he determined that he would | | punish the man who had imposed upon | 1him. He says that he traveled to every | great city in the United States and then | |gvent to Furope, looking everywhere for | e man who had galned possession of his | money. He traveled also to_ Australia, but could not succeed in finding Dr. Newell. He finally abandoned his search, came to San Francisco and by accident found the physician for whom he was looking. The suit which will be instituted this morning promises to be bitterly fought. » ' B e ) Walden was at that time Intrusted with the handling of all matters pertaining to the jute mill and the letter from Bain- bridge was given him.

The expert has been further instructed by the Directors to look ‘over the accounts of the commissary de- partment. & “I do not expect that any more dis- crepancies will be found,” said Director Fitzgerald yesterday, “I believe that the only trace of crooked work that will be found is the theft of the sixty-five bales of jute by Walden. - Walden was an ex- ceedingly clever accountant and undoubt- edly so covered up his crooked work that there is but little hope of any other pecu~ lations being unearthed. The disappear- ance of the jute mill books between the years 1881 and 189 has completely blocked the investigation. There is nothing to show what amount of material was used or what amount of goods were manufac- tured.

But it is rather hard to put the word.of convicts agalnst the word MII free man. Alden was an efficlent employe and his honesty has never before been questioned. My experience in deal- ing with convicts has convinced me that as a general rule but little credence can be given to what they say. We do not know as yet just what books are gone, but we do know that the work of the ex- pert cannot be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. It is probable that Mac- Laren will have his report ready in time to present it at a meeting of the Directors to be held next Saturday at Folsom Prison. When the report is ready we will make it public unless there be some parts of it that should be withheld In the in- terest of justice until the guilty parties, it there be any other than Walden, are arrested. If it is possible to do so, the blame will be.placs here it belongs and no guilty man will be allowed to escape. But, as I said before, I am satisfied from a conversation with MacLaren, that the only crookedness brought to light will be the sixty-five bales of jute sold to Levy. I am sorry to say that crookedness was made easy because Expert Wadham did not expert the books as he was to do. He simply took the footings, com- pared them with vouchers presented by ‘Walden and finding that they tallied, he made his report to the Directors. The books were not experted and there was nothing to prevent Walden from manipu- lating them to suit himself.” Walden was singularly fortunate, for in addition to having control of the books and papers, the confidence reposed in him ‘was so great that his honesty was never questioned. Just prior to the close of ‘Warden Hale's administration, Walden | recelved a scare, as there came near being an investigation. Detective Bainbridge had his attention called to the fact that this city was flooded with prison-made bags and the further suggestion was made that they had been stolen from the penitentary. Bainbridge wrote to Warden Hale, telling him of the information and advising that a quiet investigation be made. A few Amond the miny featu . reasonable prices.
