The gun was" returned to its owner shortly after the murder with two empty chambers, the charges having been exploded, and it was 011 this evidence, to some extent, that the jury arrived at a verdict of guilty. The defendants in their case retained Mr. James Shultz, of t'nVcitv, and T.

J. Harding, of el. After a long and interesting trial and after a long and de liberate consideration of the circumstances a verdict was rendered by twelve competent jurors as above given.
