The Hall murder trial \vas resumed in the
district court vcsienluy mornlntt. It was
evident from tliesmallno3S of the imilieneo
that tiniiiajority of court-room loafers had
bivonio bome\\luit satiiited with murder
dials , , after a htcnly diet on them for ten
davs , IJul little interest was inanifested in
the testimony , and In the main the testiinony
was not such in would urouso inueli interest
untier ( lie mo.st favorable circiinistanrcs.
Dr. 1' . 11. r ueey was ealleii upon to testify
to tlio general symptoms of insanity , which
he did to the entire .satisfaction nf the Jury ,
so far as could bo seen.
Or. Stewart was then put \ipon the sta'id ' ,
and ilut-iiig His cross-exaniliuitioa wis asked
lus tolas idea of wbut\veretho llrst symptoms
of insanity. U'ho doctor stated that be did
not claim to bo exactly an expert on the sub
ject of insauitv. but If ho trot o to Kivo a gen
eral dellnition , it would bo that any deviation
from the principles of sanity -\vouldOc an in
dication of Insanity.
After Klla Bennett and her father , George
Bennett , had ban rccalledand asketl whether
they had ever scon anything in Ilall'sactlons
to indieuto that lie was insane , to which
tney answered la the negative , the
state vested and the arguments to
the Jury were begun. County Attorney
OrKiiu waived his opening speech anil Attor
ney Aylesworth occupied tlio remainder of
the forenoon and tlio afternoon up to ( o'clock
in statiiiglilscliiiiit'iisiduof thocusu. County
Attorney Oixnn them niailo a speech of about
an hour's IciiKtti after whleti the court then
inailo bis charge to the jury , who went out to
their room to discuss tliecase.
A til o'clock la tlio cvciiltiK there was a
sound of u hurrying 10 and fro in the court
house , and word was sent out that tbo Jury
was about to rentier a verdict , It had not
been expected that it would arrive at aeon-
elusion M > soon , but it dill not take Ion ; to
notify the. Judge , and in a short time ho was
on the bench with a little knot of men before
hi m ready to hear what the decision was
which thb twelve wood men and true hud
made. The prisoner was brought In in the
charge of one of the deputy sheriffs , but ho
did not . ho\v any sign that lie knew what
was being done. When the jurymenhnd
taken their places in the box the verdict was
opened and read as follows :
"Wo. the jury , lind tbo defendant , Henry
Hall , guilty of murder in the ili'st degree ,
amlllx his sentence at imprisonment forlifo
lit hard labor in the state penitentiary at
Fort Madison. "
'J'ho defendant was oloiely watched during
the rending of the verdict , in the hope that
some indication might bo seen that ho under
stood trie nature of the proceedings , but his
eyes anil face remained a perfect blank. He
\vnsthontakciitotho jail to await trans
portation across the state ,
'J'ho sentence was u surprise to seine of
those who have watched the trial daring its
progress. It was conceded that ho would
not he acquitted , but it was thought that lie
would either ho given a sentence of a fo\v
veaw , which would virtually .liavo bcon n
lift ) son to'ico. In all probaollity , or else that ho
would boordei'ed confined in nn nsvlum. on the
theory that ho was a lunatic and should be
put where ho con Id not send any inoro of his
felloivinra on their long journeys , but the
jury disappointed all who hnd am such ex
pectations , and rendered their verdict to suit
themselves.

the possession of Schim , although ttiuy had
been levied upon by u deputy marshal on a
