"Well, they (rare me the limit, but (1 rather have that than ju'st part," .waa the remark of Den Casey on hl g, way back to his cell In the county Sj jail yesterday morning, a few mln 3! utes after a jury had found him guilty tJL--f the murder of James H.

' The remarkable nerve which ha g' not deserted the slayer in the course jjj of two trials was still with, Casey It . when he received the verdict, which Jfl ' will mean death by hanging. The jtj jury had filed Into the courtroom, (he faces of the Jurors grim and set. ij' "Gentlemen have you reached a ver Jjl diet?" Judge Kavanaugh asked. 9 Casey Is Cool. $. "We have," replied the foreman, Si . handing the slip of paper to the clerk of the court. The clerk took it to the Judge, who read it and handed It back tj to be read aloud. Si n "w, the Jury, duly Impaneled and S-ftworn to trv the Above entitled! case. i tfind the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment."

The smile with which he had followed much of the proceedings In both trials was not in evidence. Where in the preceding trial of Casey for the murder a Jury had dis agreed. It was reported that the first ballot of the present jury, taken about ; half an hour after leaving the court- V-room at 4:10 Tuesday afternoon, was .-unanimous as to Casey's guilt. Suc- ceedlng ballots waverett only on the i-"Question of punishment, for under the Present capital punishment law a Jury may recommend life imprisonment as an alternative to hanging. The Jurors reported at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing without recommendation, which Is equivalent to a death sentence. Formal sentence will be pased by Judge Kavanaugh Saturday morning. "Limit" la Preferred. It was on his return to the county jau tnat uasey remarKed to itoy Ken dall, deputy sheriff, that he preferred "the limit" to "part." The second trial of Casey was based on circumstantial evidence of a very conclusive nature, and considerable new testimony was Introduced by the state which had not been available at the time of the first trial. Casey was more ill at ease during the second hearing,- yetcontinued to display a certain contempt for the entire pro ceedings. ' Jonepn L. Hammersly and Maurice E. Crumpacker, deputy district attor neys, and Elton Watklns. special prosecutor, handled the trial for ,the state. The defense was conducted by Seneca Fouts and) Barge E. Leonard. .' Barns' Trial Begun. Casey was Jointly indicted with John L,. Burns, whose- trial began five minutes after the Cesey verdict was in for the murder of Phillips, who was fatally shot by two robbers.whom he j interrupted in ine act or rilling a I boxcar In the Alblna yards. Casey was positively laentmed. as one or two men seen a few hundred feet ' from the scene of the shooting only a few moments before it began. He had a bullet wound in the right wrist i when arrested -and could give no ade quate explanation as to the manner In which it was received. A blood-stained revolver was found In the closet, off Casey's room wrapped In a newspaper of the date of the shooting. An alibi, whlchendeav ored to place Casey in a store at Mis sissippi and Russell streets about the time of the duel, was not a convincing one. Test- shells fired in the revolver showed marks identical with marks on shells. found at the scene of the fight. I . JOHN B CRN'S' TRIAL NEXT Prosecution to Contend Defendant Fired Fatal Shot at Phillips. Within five minutes after a Jury had pmnounced the death verdict against, his pal, John Burns Saw the first Juror drawn of the panel of 12 men who are to try him for the name offense, the murder of James J H. Phillips, railroad watchman, on f the night of June 14. Burns was In dicted jointly with Dan Casey, Just convicted, but demanded a separate trial. Selection of the Jury had not been completed at adjournment last night, and the panel drawn had been ex hausted. Unless there are other Jurors available Friday morning, a special venire will -be drawn. Burns Is a pale, dark-haired .man, with small eyes and a nervous man ner, quite in contrast to the tall, florld-faed, square-jawed and "hard boiled" Casey. That sympathy, which played no part in the Casey defense, will be added to the alibi for Burns was Indicated by the appearance of Mrs. Burns and year-old baby In the courtroom at her husband's side dur ing the opening hours of the ca.se. Burns, though not presenting a de fiant air, as though daring the Jury to do its worst, as did Casey, is in a serious situation. For Casey, whose flimsy alibi carried no weight with a recent Jury, based that alibi on his association with Burns the night of the killing and testimony supporting the alibi put Casey and Burns to gether at that time. The defense is faced with the problem of establish ing an alibi for Burns which leaves Casey out of tbe situation, or else run counter to some of the defense) testimony in the Casey trial. Though the contrast In appearance of the pair favors Burns greatly, as he does not appear as vicious as Casey, the state Is expected to con tend that It was a bullet from Burns' revolver which killed Phillips. This contention would be based on a com parison of a test bullet fired from a revolver taken from under a mat tress lfl. Burns' room with a bullet removed from the body of the dead man. The theory of the prosecution has been that both Casey and Burns fired at Phillips in the railroad yards, that Phillips returned the fire, wound ing Casoy in the right wrist and com pelling him to drop his revolver, and that Burns fired the fatal shot. B. F. Mulkey and D. C. Lewis have been appointed by the court to defend Burns. Joseph L. Hammersly. Mau rice K. Crumpacker, deputy district attorneys, and Elton Watklns. special prosecutor employed by relatives of the murdered man, represent the state.

They came to Portland In 1850. There was some sort of mystery about their former life, and Finice lived very much alone, never marry ing. The two, upon arriving here, bought the land belonging to William Johnson, who lived south of town. On the stdehill amid the fir trees, they built a cabin, putting one part of the structure on the claim that the mother decided to take, while the other ex tended upon the land of Finice.
