GREEN GRAVELEY CONVICTED
Slayer of Oharlio Thomas Found Guilty of
Manslaughter.
p- ' COURT REQUESTED TO BE SEVERE
Itesariled its n , ' Desperate Clmrncter and
the Jury Thought Toil Years at
* Hard Labor a I'roncr
Sentence.
sLINCOLN , , , May 12. ( Special to The Bee. )
J s" The jury In the case In wlhch Green S.
Graveley was charged with the murder of
Charllo Thomas brought In Its verdict this
forenoon , after being out for nearly forty-
' eight hours. The verdict was that Graveley
was guilty of manslaughter and thei jury
recommended to the court the heaviest
sentence permitted by the statutes , which Is
ton years at hard labor. The verdict Is con
sidered extremely fortuuato for the accused ,
, for a formidable number of the jurors held
out for conviction of murder In the first
t degree. The evidence was thoroughly dls-
*
cussed In the/ Jury room and those In favor
; ' of the lighter scntcnco finally prevailed.
* While a great many who have followed
the case believe that Qraveloy killed his
adversary In self-defense , the proof was not
enough to convince the Jury. Grave-
ley has already served a term In the Ne
braska penitentiary for manslaughter , havIng -
Ing killed a man at Sidney In a saloon fight
a number of years ago. Ho was at ono tlnus
a trooper In the Ninth United States cavalry
and bears the- scars of a great many encounters -
counters with the Indians. Ho Is a dcsper-
ata character , however , and a great many
people feel that the community will be uifcr
while ho Is making barrels In the state
I'onltentlnry. '

These Improvements will consist of a three

the city and a new switchboard of the latest
dovlco. The wln > system will be con
structed similarly to the Omaha system , with
the exception that all conduits v.111 bo laid
under the alleys Instead of under the streets.
Manager Elcho Informed The Bee this morn
ing that still another Improvement over the
Omaha system would bo adopted. The Im
provements will necessitate the expenditure
of moro than $100,000 and It Is believed that
the entire work can be completed within
two years. Under the provisions of tlio
ordinance the telephone company pays the
city $500 per annum as a privilege tax. The
ordinance vetoed by Mayor Weir < ; ave the
city the right to use Its poles for ci y wires
whenever necessary and furnished the
city with ten telephones free of
cost. Rates for telephone service
were also fixed by the former
ordinance , the rate for residences being $3.50
per month and for business houses $4.50 per
month , with an Increased charge of 50 cents
per month for each additional mile from the
telephone office. Under the new qrdlnanuo
'
the city loses all these privileges 'and the
telephone company Is conceded the right to
fix Its own rates. " -

far as Fort Randall. Probably no railroad
project of the last decade has been as much
talked about and written abqut or has been

It was learned that the officials were In con
ference at Bloomfield and had decided to
extend the line from that point.
