Frank Crissman entertained the

SCHULTZ CONVICTED.
herself with the revolver nnd body
in positions described.
"You jurymen know a god deal
more nbout firearms than I do,'
said he, and with tho ekull and the
revolver mndo his meaning clear.
He judged it improbable that the
-woman rose from her hod, procured
mo revolver, lay tiown beside her
sleeping husband, composed herself
and put n bullet through her brain
The hard pull of tho trigger and tho
natural recoil wero ngainst the arm
f illing across tho breast, nnd the ex
pert medical evidence wns construed
to back np this theory,
ft Tlie story of the missing $250.00,
which Mr. Van Auken said was a
"l ogtis roll," shown to effect a ri -concilation
that Schultz might ac
complish tho murder, the conduct of
the man after his wife's death ni.d
tho contradictions of tho prisoner
upon the stand wero dwelt upon
particularly.
"Did he hear that pistol shot? Do
you believe that lying within a foot
of her ho didn't know that revolver
wa i fired? He said lie was deaf, but
didn't know which ear it was. I
don't believe there is a man in this
jury tvh believes that for an in
slant. Ho hasn't been deaf in the
court, room. You know-too much
about firearms to swallow a lie like
that."
TUe charge of the Judge was nn
hour in length and the prisoner in
this solemn time sive-nl times
smiled at his own thought For
thero wits nothing humorous in the
proceedings.
The trial lasted five days nnd Tiko
county cannot bo called laggard in
this case.
THE VERDICT.'
Ju lgo Purdy then delivered' a
careful, succint and perfectly im
partial charge to tho jury, commit
ting to the hands of the twelve good
won and true the destiny of defend
ant. They retired to their room nnd
ngreed about 2 o'clock n. m. Sundny
morning.
At nine o'clock on the beautiful
Kabbnth the tones of the Court
House bell ominously mingled with
tho.so of churches, nnd soon after
tho participants in tho solemn scenes
of the wook were gathered to hear
the result. The jury filed in
its place and Schultz fnced them
unflinchingly while each one an
nounced tho grim conclusion. He
then passed out nnd bowed, nnd
spoke ns he did so his thnnks for the
verdict. He wns tnkon back to tho
jail rind his clothes changed. On
his person wero found a sninll saw,
a file and n pocket kniie.
Sinco the vordict he has porsist
cntly refused to eat, but does not
appear greatly depressed.
Thus closes the first chapter of
this unfortunate affair. The trial
was impartial nnd the rights of the
prisoner were fully preserved. If
guilty of tho crime ns found by the
jury, ho can only meditate thnt his
own conduct nnd the surroundings
irrcsistahly forced that conclusion.
Every extenuation possible and ex
planation conceivable by his coun
sel was tiddncod in his behalf, but
his testimony stood nlonengninst nn
nrray of circumstances, coincidences
and improbabilities which weighed
it down, nnd from the first he
walked upon a dangerous and devi
ous pathway.
If innocent ho must reflect that at
least, like almost every person
charged with crime his own conduct,
forged tho links of the chain which
finally binds him in a felon's cell.
