NO SYMPATHY I'OI 10I , IS.
There Is no word of Pity or sympathy for
the condemned felon. tie Is regarded as a
menace to society. Up In Glmanton , N. It. ,
there are two ell people , his father and
mother , and he has also two brothers and
two sisters. Not one of his kin was heard
from during the trIal. When the jury went
out an indefInIte recess was taken. Judge
Arnold salll he would remain In the building

reached by that tIme ho would come to court
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning , NObody
believed there would he occasion for this

There were many wagers that the verdict
would be In tonight-and more as to Its

In the packed court room and It became

court clerk came the awful words :
"Jurors , look upon the prIsoner : prIsoner ,

men of the Jury , do you find the prisoner at

The condemning syllable came ( rein the

but his shrunken form never trembled ; his

lighter clasp of his hands folded behind him.
Then he slowly sat down , and at the request

The verdict was formally recorded by the

after Judge Arnold had spoken a word of
t . regret to the counsel for the defense because
of Monday's occurrence , \ \ len they withdrew ,
and thnks for theIr arduous but fruItless
labors , Holmcs was taken to his cell room.
The jury was thanked for their attention and

The last day was uneventful except for the
last tragic scene. District Attorney Graham

dofense-that. Ilzel had commItted suicide ,
rstlmlg on the assumpton that the common-
. . , wealth hall not made out a case beyond reasonable -
0 sonable doubt.
Judge Arnold charged the jury for more
' than an hour. The distrIct attorney said that
his instructions were fair. The tendency , If
there was any bias , was toward the commonwealth .

review of the evidence and exposItion of the
law of murder When the trial begun last
Monday everybody , Including the common-
wealth's o Icrs , antIcIpated that It would
lengthen Into many weeks. I lasted six days.
This was the result of the court's decIsIon
that no evidence touching upon Holmes' other
crimes should be Introduced Into this \Grtcu-

The swift developments , treading upon each

Judge Arnold for I few mInutes' Indulgence ,

: Ir. Uraham rehearsed In minute delal9

Iho statements of Holmes hlm911 , made more

murder had been fIxed. From 10 o'clock In
the morning of that Sunday to 4 o'clock he
was In the Callow Hi street house This

SUMMING UP THE CASf
In conclusion : lr. Graham said ho desired
the jury to consider only the evidence con-
nected wIth the murder of Pltzel In the Cal-
low Hill streat house and nothing clse. He
paid a glowing tribute to Detecth'o Geyer for
his work In unfoldIng the story
"This strange trial Is drawing rapidly to aces .
cos ! The nuestlon Is has the common-
wealth made out Its case ? I have tried to
convince you that It has I appeal 10 your
manhood to do what Is right. As the crier
asks you so 10 I say "Stand together , good
men and true " I know the courage re
quired for your , duty I ask you to stand as

guilty . aye , though I Involved death , be true
to your conscience and find a true all a just

even though It be repellant : to face the duty ,
to face the Issue , and to acquit yourselves
like men. I you have a doubt , this man Is
entItled to the benefit ot It , but not such I
doubt as arises from the performance of an
unpleasant duty. I ask you 10 remember this
testImony ; I ask you to remember that I Is
uncontradIcted , unchiallengoui . admitted. In th
face ot that testimony there can be but one
conclusIon-that this man Is gully In the
manner ell form as he stands Indlctfd . "
Mr. Graham's address , which was confined
ror the most part to a review of the details
of the evidence , lasted two hours and a half.
Holmes appeared 10 sbrlnl from the district
attorney's accusing finger , and nervously
shied In his scat as the thunderous tone of
the prosecuting officer rang out through the
court room. At the conclusion of hIs address
a recess was taken until 2:30. :
When court reconvened there was not an
Inch In the court room or the gallery above
that was not taken , and the doors were
locked to prevent the entrance ot more. One
of the peculiar features of the trial has been
the number of socIety Inca present to wines
the proceedings and today there were more
than ever.
The afternoon session was begun lt a quar-
ter of 3 o'clock , when Mr. itotan after a
moment's conversation with Holmes , began
the argument for the defense. II was very
pale , but self-possessed , and receIved admira-
ton for the pluck and endurance with which
he fought ! , practIcally slnglehandl , against
the mighty force of the commonwealth's
evidence , and the skill and experience of the
district atorne ) ' . His colleague . Mr. Shoemaker -
maker .who throughout has taken the In-
feror : part In the conduct of the case , was
absent today on account of Illness and Mr.
Hotan was entirely alone There was a pa-
Ihelo nut ! II the way he betan.
"Gentlemen - ' ' . of the .jury. there I" probably
10 one In thIs court room who can fully
1Illreciate the responsIbIlity that rests upon
lY shoulders. Yet each or you has a much
greater responsibity . " He Immediately en-
tred UpOl a dlccuslon of the evIdence and
all that the defense plainly admitted that
the body found In the Callow Hi house
was that of Pltzel , and that he all HolmES
had been conspirIng to defraud Insurance I
companIes , and at the time of this occur- I

ADMITTED nOL IES' WANDERINGS.
. They also admitted , Mr. Rotan 111 , the
story ot Holns' wanderings around the
country with Mrs. PItzel They had offered
no derense because of the confidence that
the commonwealth had not made out Its
case and when the jury looked over the case ,
they would find the facts more consistent
with the theory at suicide than murder.
When Holmes went to the house on Sunday ,
September 2 , he found the body on the third
floor . The attorney then repeated the de-
tails at the arrangement of the body as
already told , but , he asked , had anythln"
been produced to show at what time the man
had been killed or committed suicide ? I
there anythIng In thIs case to show that the
prIsoner secured the policy on l'Itzel's life.
I there had been , the commonwealth would
have producell it. Continuing , Mr Hotan
called attention to the fact that when l'It-
zel left his wife In St Louis to come to
Phiadelphia , he told her net to be worried
If she heard he was deal , because he was
In a scheme to defraud the Insurance com-
pany. Coming down to the tIme of the
kiing , the speaker denied that there was
anythIng to chow IndicatIons In the man's
stomach to bear out the commonwealth's
assertion that Holmes had chloroformed him
while he was drunk .
Concerning the hurrlell
Concering departure or
Holmes ali his alleged wife front the Eleventh -
enth street house on thin night of the mur-
dee , Holmes havIng come home flushed all
warm , and ordered her to. pack up her
trunk , Mr. Rotan urged that Miss Yolte's
testimony showed beyond question that they
had the night before resolved to leave town
al Sunday night.
The commonwealth relied on the medical
testimony that the body could not have been
found In the reposeful position In which I
was had Iltzel commited suicide by Inhaling
chlorororm. The , defense admltell the truth
ot this , butt asserted that It was placed In
such I position by Holmes after Iltzcl hall
commItted suicide , leaving a night for him to
utilize the corpse to consummate the ineur-
uncut swlndlo. Mr. Rotan remlndrd the Jury
ot the tact that when arre&t d In Boslon for
conspiracy Holmes asked to be brought to
this city to stand trIal rather than go to
Fort Worth , Tex , where he was wanted for
stealing a horse. Would any man have
made such 1 choIce , he demanded , unless he
knew just what crime he had committed ?
'culd he . the lawyer demanded , have
avoided a trIvial charge In a far distant place
to put his neck In danger by coming vohm-
tarly to this city hall he commited a murder
here. In conclusion , he begged the jury to
carefully weight the facts and then give the
prIsoner the bmeft or the doubt.
JUDGE CHARGES TIlE JURY .
Mr. Hotan concludel his address at 4:30 :
o'clock , amid JUdge Arohl charged the jury
He began with the 11\11 definitIon of the
" .rlous degrees of murder and manslaughter
and reall several passages from the penal
code of Penns'l'anla. lie Instructed the
jury to direct their thoughts to the que-
ton whether the prisoner bad committed
murder , ali I l. ( f what degr ro. I
the commonwealh hul proved that I was
I wIllful , deliberate murder. then he was
guilty of murder In the first degree. A number -
her of wItnesses have been called. The
tSltmony Is what I. called cIrcumstantial .
Many of the moat Important caea au

proved by cIrcumstantial evhlence. I do
not think I exaggerate when I uy half of
them are decided on such evidence Al
evIdence Is more or less circumstantIal. The
dIfference Is only In the degree of It. After .
citing Illustrations of thll the judge con-
tinned : "In the case of killing by poison . experience -
perience shows that nearly all such cases
are proved by circumstantial evidence.
"Three fluestons muet be determined by
you In this case : First , Is Plzel dead ;
sccond , did ho die a violent death ; third If
he did , did the prioner kill him , or did ho
commit suicide
The Judge reviewed the evidence at
length , and contInued : "Now , was It a
suicide or a murder I Is argued by counaI
for the prIsoner that It was suicide. I It
was so , the natural Impulse would have
bon to notify the police upon discovering
the boly. lint he Sa1 he did not the so

Yoke. The prisoner cross-examined her
himself , " Here the judge quotl from
her tevtmoney concerning Holmes' return
to the Eleventh sti t hOU5 on Sunday
afternoon of the murder.
GIVEN TO THE JURY.
"If , upon all the evhloc ? . you are convinced
Pltzel was killed by holmes by means of
chloroform , I Is a case of murder In the
first degree. 1,1 persuaded , ! the argumen of
counsel that It was suIcide and not murder ,
then you must acquit him .
"If , after hearing this testimony . you are
unable to make 111 your mind that he Is
guilty , If you feel a hesitancy , a doubt , you
must give hum the benefit of the doubt and
acquit him I not you must find him guilty
of murder of the first degree.
"hf you have any ImprEssIon In your mind

on . trial , the murller of BenjamIn F. Pltzel ,
pray dismIss tmn from your mInd and con-
eider the case with the utmost care. You
may now retro and , conshler your verdict , "
Thus at 5 :40 : o'clock Holmes' fate passed
Into the hands of th ; jury. The twelve men
were Immediately taken to their deliberating
room , under the escort of a corps 01 court
ofcers , ali the best efforts or the bailiffs
could not quell the buzz of excitement which
arose In the room. Interest was at a lever
heat , and In spite ot the late hour not a seat
was to be had within the four walls , lar was
one relnquished even during the reC03S which
lolowcd , Holmes was taken back to the cell

It was clEar that he was extremely nervous.

SALT LAKE , Noy 2.-Wlth the exception ,
at a little political work to be done , on Mon-
day , today closes one of the hardest fought
campaigns that this territory has wlneszd
since the disbanding of the old liberal all
peoplo's parties. The face that the constitution -
tion Is to be voted upon and two United
States senators elected , In case I Is adopted ,
has brought Into the campaign an Interest
which has hItherto been unknown In Utah I
politics . PolitIcal rallies have been frequent I
anti enthusiastc. while charges and counter
charges of political trickery have been freely
made on both sides. A consIderable element
In both parteR appear to be opposed to state-
hood but probably not enough In the aggre-
gate to defeat the constitution.
Charges have been made that the Influence
or the Mormon church Is being used In
favor of therepu1lcan ticket. I such Is the
case , its elect wouM bo difficult to determine
I It Ehould have a tendency to attract a
larger vote to the republican ticket , It might
on the other hand , alienate I class ot voters
accul'tomell to fighting church Infuence In
former da's. Republican confidence Is sup-
ported by a majorIty ot about 2,000 votes at
the last election , while the democrats clam
that the last record marks the condition ot
their party at its weakest poInt , beIng handl-
capped by a year of panic under a demo-
cratc aulmninlstratlon. The populist vote mny
be an Important factor In the result. H. W.
Lawrence , the populist candidate for gov-
ernor , Is a man favorably known throughout

WASINGTON , D. C. , Nov. 2.-Speclal (
Telegram.- ) Satoll , through the private -
'ate secretary or the delegation In this
city , Father Hoker , state to your corre-
spondent that the dllcUltes In Bishop 1ona-
cum's diocese were only known to his eml-
nence-to.be through newspaper reports. In
an olcial way , however , he has been informed -
formed that Dshop lonacum had convened
an investigating commission at Lincoln and
hal cited Fathers Murphy and Fitzgerald of
the parishes of Auburn and Tecumseh to appear -
pear , but they had failed to be represented
either by themselves or through counsel
The investigating cmmission , therefore , In
the failure of these priests to make a defense
Iormaly , decided hat the Priests should be
dIsmissed from these cures , which finding
had been sent to the
en ( monsignor. ubse-
quenty , a petition was received from 100 or
so parishioners of Father Iurph"s parIsh ,
asking that the prIest be retained In hIs
olce until such tme as the whole evidence
might be submitted to the delegate of hIs
holiness , Leo XIII.
"The petition was courteous and mild In
Its expression " raid f'ather Hooker , speak-
Ing for the representative of the pope , who ,
In the early part of next month , will receive
the beeUa of a cardinal , the third sInce
Catholicism ha(1 a representative on these
shores , lcClosky being the first , Gibbons
the second , and now Satohli.
"I regret to say , " said PrIvate Secretary
flanker , "that DshCp Donacum's diocese 10
considerably torn up , and the head of the
church there seems very much between the
horns of a dilemma. When the bishop !
holds church property In his own name , as
he undoubtedly does In Nebraska under your
civil laws , and a priest refuses to obey the
suggestonD of those over him In authority
and resists the spiritual power , the only
thing he can do , so far a I can see Is to
Invoke the civil law and dislodge him , Just
as I would do If a tenant failed to pay rent
for my house In which he hived.
INSTRUCTION TO BONACUM.
"Mgr. Satoll , when his attention was called
to these differences between priests and
bishop , Informed Dshop Bonacum that he
would have to proceed against these real-
cirants under the laws of the Council of
Baltimore , and subject them to a trial for
alleged disobediences of church law. This
was done on the convening ot the Invltga-
ting commission , and the tormal sentence of
expulsion from the parishes they now repre-
sent. Beyond this we know nothing the
bishop I his luthorl : , . as he head of the
diocese havIng Ito righ 10 Invoke the civil
power 10 put out an obstreperous priest , I he
so wills. In a spiritual way however , rests
excommunication. BIshop Donacum has not
Informed the monsignor of his intention , and
therefore hE Is not In a position to give an
opinion on the ( merits of the Nebraska dim-
cuity. "

Father Rookc . who spent twelve year In
Homo at the AmerIcan cole e , having had
his collegiate training ' at UnIon college .
PoughkEepsie , Is authority fdr the statement
that Mgr. Satol will 'be ' followed In thIs
country by a foreign priest to represent his
holiness In the adjudIcaton ! of church ques-
tons on the American continent. That I
would be beyond precedent to make an Amer-
ican prlst with his prejudices an arbitrator
at questions upon which ho thall formed an
Impression before his elevation to this most
exalted posItion. I Is pec\ed \ that the elevation -
vaton or Mgr Satol t& the cardinalate wi
bo atendEd by the most brilliant ceremony
ever seen In America , prepnatons for the
conferring or the bereta , already being well
under way. I hal been ten years since
Cardinal Gibbons receIved thc purple , and the
ceremony of next month will far exceed hIs
elevation In pomp and brilliancy.

Ing the rejection or the ( Detroit bids on the

WASHINGTON , Nov 2.-A precIse definition -
I ton of the designs ot Japan respecting Corea
has ben obtained at last by all of the power
concerned , for It Is assumed that the following
cablegram , which was handed to Secretary
Oney Thursday by Mr Kurlno , the Japanese
mInister , has been ale sent to all of the
Japanese legatons In Europe : "In regard to
our atude In Corea , you are authorized 10
declare to the following effect to this govern-
ment ot the United States : Japanese troops
are now stationed In Corea to Insure tranquil-
hity as well as to protect our leaton , consulates -
sulates and subjects , and also to maintain the
Indispensable lines 01 communicaton with _ our
army , which Is still In occupation of the Lice
Tung peninsula ; the troops Intendel for the
latter purpose are much larger In number.
The necessity of keeping such troops will ,
however cease at the samc ( line wlt'l the
evacuation ot the Llao Tong peninsula , and so
much of the troops will then be wihdrawn
frm Corea. The Japanese government hOpES
that the Corean movement , having already
entered upon the work of reform , they may
succeed and bo able to maintain order and
even Protect foreigners , though our troops are
withdrawn. The Japanese govermimnent . havIng -
log nQ other designs Is not desirous to pro-
long the maintenance ot our troops In Corea :
furthermore , we should be extremely gratified
If we were relieved tram such obligation. In
our relations wIth Corca the policy of our
government Is one of noninterference , all our

WASHINGTON , Nov. 2.-1' Julan Pauna
tote , the BritIsh ambassador , had a long conference -
trenco with Secretary Oney today , lastng
hal an amour or mora. His purpose was to
propose In behalf of the British government
Joint acton to a lImited extent In Turkey , to
Insure the safety of the citizens at Great
Britain and Americans resident In that coun-
try. I Is believed that Secretary Oney has
not rendered an answer to the propoal.
So tar as can be learned , there was no
direct agreement that would In any sense
Involve forcible or even the prezntaUon
of a Joint note , but In view or the concern
felt both In the UnIted States and In England -
land as to the threatenIng attItude of the
Turkish populace toward the missionaries ,
harmonious acton oC the two power9 responsible -
ble for the English speaking re9 dent mIs-
lonarles ! was felt to be de : rable. So tar
during the religious troubles In Turkey this
has been already the case , and In the absence
of 1 representative of either the United States
or Great Britain at a focus of trouble In
Turkey the consul of either on the spot has
been prompt to extend protection to the
citzens of the other The tact that this
understandIng ! Is tacit , rather than amount-
lag to I formal acknowledgement , Is emphasIzed -
phasIzed by a denial tram the British em-
bassy here that the ambassalor has proposed
a formal Joint acton by Great Britain and
the UnIted States.
