The case was given to the jury this afternoon on instructions from th o court and an address by the prosecut- ing attorney. Counsel not address the jury. As Logan heard the verdict read by the clerk he fell into his seat, eying the jurors closely. Then suddenly a smile spread over his face. On being back to jail Logau rushed up- stairs for a word with George Hilton, his nephew, who was also arrested in connection with the crime. In’ reply to Hilton, Logan said: “It was murder in the first degree.” As Logan entered the steel -tank “What is it, old man?” and again he returned the “Murder in first degree.” After the jail doors clanked securely other prisoners sang out: behind Logan the jailer again walked | around to the outside cell door and asked: “Is everything all right?’ The prisoner answered cheerfully: “Don't this 100k like it?" and the officers were amazed to see him dancing a jig.

President Taft's decision on “what is whisky”. put the manufacturers of sugar beat distillate out of business. The decision classified rum as spirits distilled from cane, etc.. and whisky as spirits distilled from grain.

Woman’s Slayer Calls Jailer's| You | i | i i § Daughter of Capitalist and Flees After Outcry [Special Dispatch to The Call] OAKLAND, Miss Harrlet Jan Thompson, 18 years old, living at 1620 Bay street, Alameda, daughter of Frank Thompson. a San Francisco capitalist, and granddaughter of the late Cap- tain R. R. Thompson, an Alameda mil- lionaire, was found in a hysterial con- dition at the Oakland mole early this where she had been aban- by man, who plied her with ev ning, doned, she says, a strange young drinks and tried to rob her. She had on her wrists and fingers jewels valued at fully $3.000, which the | girl told the police were the objects of the young stranger’s attentions. Miss that been to the St. had to visit Thompson said she Francis hotel her father and her mother, the latter of whom is reported to be dangerously ill. She took a ferry boat frem San Francisco on the Oakland mole run, she sa about 6:30 o'clock. On the she was accosted by the young man, who conversed a while and finally sug- gested that they go to the dining room | for a few moments. Just what refreshments the girl par- took of in the lower part of the vessel is not clear from her incoherent state- ment. First she said that she had mixed liquors and then asserted that she had taken only “soft drinks which affected her as would drugs. On the attempted robbery she is not more precise, but maintains that the com- panion tried to get possession of her jewelry. 5 The girl said that she was taken violently ill while the young man was with her, but did not lose conscious- ness, and that she was able to resist when the stranger tried to remove her jewels. Her outcries disconcerted the stranger and he left her abruptly. Miss Thompson made her way to the | train and got aboard the Oakland local instead of the Southern Pacific “horse- shoe” train. which would have taken her to Alameda. She was so ill that she did not leave the train at Broad- | wdy, as an Alameda passenger would have done, but rode clear to the end of the line at Melrose. She still kept on the train and returned to the mole. The train ¢rew notified the police and the girl was taken to the receiving hospital. Dr. W. H. Irwin, who at- tended her, pronmounced her “hysteri- cal.” She was kept at the hospital for a time, -but was finally permitted to go home with G. E. Thompson. her uncle, who had been summoned to the hospital. He said that the girl was frequently hysterical, and might have been overcome by such an experience as she related in her broken manner. ‘Miss_Thompson's father was one of the heirs of Captain R. R.
