the Penalty.
8TURGIS, 8. 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
