Burton, of Kansas, charged with illegally accepting fees from the Riaito Grain company, reached a ver- ict at 12:3) this afternoon, after being out since 7:90 Saturday evening. The United States district court was kept open all day yesteray, and court of- ficiala remained on duty to summon Judge Adams from his residence and have court convened at any time that the jury might be ready to report. The jury's verdict was “Guilty.” Senator Burton was found guilty on six counts, several others having been dismissed during the trial. A motion for a new trial was Immediately flied. Senator Burton spent a sleepless night at the Southern hotel. Nervous- ly twirling his moustache, he appeared In court when notified of agree. ment of the jury. Upon the announce. ment of the verdict he trembled slight- ly and spoke to his attorney In a whisper, Then he sank back in his chair, burying his face in his hands, ‘The maximum penalty is a fine of $10,000 and two years’ imprisonment and perpetual disqualificat: from holding public office. The sentence will be fixed by Judge Adams of the United States district court. Burton’s Successor TOPEKA, Kas,, March 28.—Pend- ing the affirmation of the Burtom conviction it is not probable that Governor Bailey will take any ac~ tion either In appointing @ successor or convening the legislature in a spe- cial session to fill the vacancy. The conviction makes {t impossible for Burton to succeed himself, hence there are now talked of to take his seat in the senate Congressmen Bowersook, Curtis and Calderhead, ex-Governor Stanley, Fourth As- } sistant Postmaster General Bristow, and Cyrus Leland. The conviction has aroused much excitemend throughout the state. IN ARTIST OF COURSE “Is a candymaker a mechanic?” Judge Hanford has decided in the neg- ative, by refusing to grant the petition of R.
