D.. Aug. 1. (Special Tele gram.) The verdict of guilty, with the penalty of death, was brought in by the Jury in the Earnest Loveswar murder can late laat night. Loveswar killed Oeorge Puck of Sioux City, la., and Oeorge Os trander of Climbing Hill, la., on a 'ranch on the Red Owl, near this place. Tbe Jury was compoaed of S. D. Taylor, F. M. Jack son. C. Clark Anderson, John Miller,' W. H. Powell, Oeorge Hannaiat, C. C. Corn stock, M. M. Mance, Ed Whitman, Frank Devers, Hugh Carney and C. D. Berger. The testimony in ths Loveswar murder trial was concluded at S o'clock yesterday. Judge Rice granted a short recess to rest the Jury and the arguments were com menced. Attorney Wesley A. Stuart of counsel for the etate opened the argument before the Jury on bfhalf of tbe state. The following la the verdict of the Jury: "The Jury in the above entitled action finds the defendant. Earnest Loveswar, guilty of murder as charged in the informa tion, and we fix tbe penalty at death." The above verdict was brought Into court by the Jury shortly before 11 o'clock last night In the case of Loveswar, charged with the murder of Oeorge Puck. So keen has been the interat taken by ths entire publlo that notwithstanding It was almost midnight the large court room was crowded, even the standing room being filled. The defendant, as tbs verdict of tbe Jury was read In a clear voice by the clerk of tbe court, sat stolidly by hla counsel with downcast head and never lifted hla eyes from the floor. There was a general murmur of approval from the entire audi ence as the clerk concluded tbe reading. As the defendant was being conducted from the court room to his cell by sheriff Smith he had a most dejected and hope less appearance. Judge Rice fixed Wednes day, Auguat ( for passing the sentence as to the date of the defendant's execution. It Is quite widely believed In come quar tera that Loveswar was not alone In this awfnl affair and some predict that before the date of hie execution arrives he will divulge more information and Implicate someone else. Coroner McSIoy and Sheriff Smith are being universally extolled tor the prompt and effective work in ferreting the guilty party, and It was due to their Interest that Attorney Stuart was employed as addi tional counsel for the state. James McNenny and McMahon made short addressee on behalf of the defendant. To tbe surprise of all the defendant went upon tbe stand In his own defense, but before leaving it made several damaging admissions, though he denied the confes sion. Tbe most novel theory of a defense ever Interposed in a criminal trial was put forward by Loveawar's attorneya. Tbe de fendant went on tbe witness stand and stated that Dr. McSIoy, tbs coroner, took him into the sheriff's office, that tbe doctor placed his knees against those of tbe de fendant and kept looking him so, intently in the eyes that he said anything and everything tbs doctor .wanted him to. Tbe theory argued by defendant's attorneys was that the doctor . by hypnotto power and the power of auggeatlon made htm confess to a false atate of fanta State's Attorney McClung closed for ths prosecution after supper . in an able and thorough address and Judge Rice has Just finished Instructing the Jury, who retired to deliberate at :07 p. m.
