THE MQBNING OHEGOIAN. SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1901. IN SECOND DEGREE Three Murderers of Jennie Bosschieter Convicted. MAXIMUM PENALTY IS 30 YEARS Jury Took Fifteen Ballot Prisoner Shorrcd Xclther Elation 5or Re lief When the Verdict Wu An nounced Closing; Argnments. TTW YORK, Jan. IS. Walter C. McAl leter, Andrew J. Campbell and William IDeath, three of the four persons indicted for the murder of Jennie Boeschieter, a mill-girl of Patcrson, N. J., who was mur dered the night of October IS last, -were tonight adjudged guilty of murder In the second degree. According to the New Jer sey law, the maximum penalty for the prisoners Is 30 years. The Jury took 15 ballots, and after sum moning Judge Dixon and the prisoners, filed Into the courtroom. The prisoners appeared very nervous. McAllster seemed Store excited than any of the others. Ho at biting his lips while waiting. Camp bell thrust his hands Into his trousers' pockets and clinched his fists In them. Death looked anxiously about the court room for a moment, and then assumed the attitude of Campbell. When the ver dict was announced the prisoners evinced neither elation nor relief. Judge Dixon thanked the Jury, and said he believed the verdict e. Just one. He dismissed tho Jurors until Monday morning. The court then rose, and the prisoners were taken back to the Jail. Another great crowd gathered outside the Courthouse this morning, but, as on the preceding days of the trial, only a limited number of persons were admitted to the courtroom. The defendants were brought Into the court shortly before 10 o'clock and took their uBtial seats beside their counsel. Ex-Judge William T. Hoff man made the closing address for the de fense. A point which, in Mr. Hoffman's opinion, had not been sufficiently empha sized by his associates in the defense was that a defendant is not to be permitted to be called upon to prove his innocence, but the state must prove his guilt. Coun sel said: "Whatever -view Is taken of the case, If It can bo shown that Jennie did not die from chloral or rape, then this cane failed. There is no legal proof that sho died from chloral poison or that rape wa& committed The state charges that this defendant ' (pointing at McAllster) put chloral into the glass drunk- that night. If he had chloral, where did he get It? The state used all its machinery to And this out. If no chloral was found in the body, ehe did not die from It. Dr. Todd said she died from chloral poisoning, to did Dr. Terrlberry. These statements liave no force in this case." Mr. Hoffman then proceeded to discredit the testimony of Professor Witthaus as to the quantity of chloral hydrate that had been administered to the lil, and quoted the professor as saying that the amount of chloral he found In the stom ach could not have done any more harm than if it had remained in the batUe. He cited tho testimony of Dr. Vanderterg to the effect that an analysis of the embalu ing fluid of the same brand as thlt used to embalm the corpse of Jennln Boss chieter gave the same results as Profes sor Witthaus obtained from an tmajystsr of the contents of the girl's stonweh'. M,r. Hoffman alleged that statements had been extorted from two of the defendants by the police by Improper means, nhd that these statements then had been Alstorlcd Into confession. All the circumstances of tho meeting of Jennie Bosschieter with the defendants the evening of October IS and of the start In a hack for Tree's ho tel, counsel said, were Inconsistent with the theory of the prosecution that the affair was prearranged on the part of the men with the purpose of an assault on the girl. "The whole case Is consistent with the innocence of the defendants undur a prop ter application of the law." he sfcld. Public Prosecutor Emley delivered the flhal address for the state. Th meeting of the defendants with Jennie Bosschieter, ihe said, was no accident. It wan at SaaPs saloon, and had for its purpose, as Camp bell had put it, "having a good time" "with the girl now dead. Mr. Emley said: "It Is a significant coincidence that when McAllister wanted a. hack he found the willing ear of Kerr at the telephone at Hofgezungs saloon, Kerr evidently await ing such word. It is more than a coinci dence that all this should hove happened as it did within the circle of them all there complete. Kerr said nothing about the forgotten engagement on the bridge; neither did he ask McAllster where he had been. He simply told tbc hackman which door of Saal's saloon to go out, McAllster paid for the drinks and ordered the champagne. He was the Bcader." Mr. Emley pointed out alleged Inconsist encies of the ride In the Schulthorpe hack as the defendants told it. DARING HOLD-UP. Tito Men Tried to Rob Reitnnrnnt. Sew Yorlc NEW YORK. Jan. 18. Two robbers, armed with 33caliber Coifs revolvers, en tered Malllard's restaurant and confec tionery store, near the Flfth-AvenUe Ho tel, Just aa the place was being closed at midnight, and ordered the cashier to throw up his hands. In tho place were a half dozen waiters, and tho very bold ness of the Tobbers attracted attention. The cashier had sevoraL hundred dollars of the day's receipts on the desk before him, and it is supposed that he did not move quickly enough to satisfy the rob bers, for one of the mgn discharged his revolver. The bullet flashed Into the wall back of the cashier, who caught up the cash and dodged underneath the counter. The waiters concealed them selves under tables. The shot attracted a Broadway crowd, and the police were notified. Brandishing their weapons, tho robbers dashed from Malllard's, the crowd falling back and giving them all the room they wanted. One turned into Twenty-fourth street and succeeded In making his escape. The other dashed across the pavement on Fifth avenue to Madison Square and was captured by a policeman. He said he was Edward Bur gess, a steamfltter. THE SOLDIERS WITHDRAWN. No Further Trouble Anticipated t Corbln, Ky. CORBIN, Ky., Jan. IS.

May God always be gracious to both our houses, as he was of old to our ancestors, In good times and bad.

MUNICIPAL CODE. Hearing at Manila on the Commis sion's New Bill. MANILA, Jan. 13. The public discus sion of the general code of government for municipalities began today. Commission er Worcester outlined the bill and ex plained the changes from tho general or ders of tho Military Governor, under which many local governments were ope rating. Commissioner Worcester offered two amendments, disqualifying from vot ing and holding office men who violate their oath of American allegiance and who remain in armed opposition after Febru ary 1. The commissioner elucidated the taxa tion features, referring to the benefits of taxing lands and buildings as against the present special taxes on occupations 'and industries. One-fourth of 1 per cent of the proceeds of real estate assessments will be devoted to public schools. Muni cipal Councils are authorized to license theaters, places for liquor selling, pub lic conveyances, hotels and cock-fighting, or to prohibit cock-fighting, for the first year, until the tax collections-iare avail able. Half of the internal revenue of each municipality will be paid into the municipal treasuries. Commissioner Worcester did not enlarge on the section confining the exemption of church property to properties used exclusively for religious, charitaBlo or educational purposes. This much-discussed feature received the .approval of the Administration at Washington pre vious to the making public of the bill. The bill centralizes considerable respon sibility in the provincial governments for the establishment of which another bill is being prepared. The public discussion which is taking place in the municipal hall is proceeding by sections, the natives participating.

St LoUU, Mo, CANAL BILL LAID ASIDE NO ACTION PROBABLE UNTIL ENG LAND IS HEARD FROM. Decision Reached at a Caucus of Republican Senators Yesterday Other Measures Considered. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. The Republican Senators decided today not to set a day. at least for the present, for taking up tHe Nicaragua Canal bill. The decklou was reached after an hour and a half spent In caucus,, and was unanimous. The caucus was called largely because of Sen ator Morgan's importunities in behalf of the bill, and an effort was made to effect d Satisfactory so'utlon of the problem. There was a general exchange of views, and many speeches were made, but after all had been said, the Senators concluded that so long as Great Britain's attitude toward the amendment to the Hay Pauncefote treaty Is undefined It would not be wise or expedient to agitate the question of the construction of the pro posed canal. Senator Allison, chairman of the cau cus, was authorized to make this state ment to Senator Morgan and other friends of the canal bill and to the public In general. In giving It out he laid stress I upon the fact that this conclusion was "tor the present." Ho also stated that the question of what attention should be given to the ship subsidy bill was not dis cussed, and that "the matter is in the I hands of the Senate." The decision of the caucus as riven was embodied in a resolution presented by Senator Lodge, who stated that the con clusion, as set forth, was the result of the best deliberations of the committee on order of business. He expressed his own firm conviction that at lFast for the pres ent It would be out of place to press the canal question while the treaty Is still a subject of negotiation, and England's at titude is not completely defined. Notwithstanding the formal decision to leave the canal question In abeyance for the time being, several Senators gave notice that In case there should be a mo tion to take, up the canal bill they would not be bound by the reeolutlon adopted, but -would vote for a motion to consider. In this expression of Independence, Sen ator Piatt, of New York, was the lead er. He said he considered the proposed canal of prime Importance, and would not refrain from voting to take It up when ever a motion was made to that effect. Senators Simon, Foster and Bard fol lowed with similar declarations. No decision was reached upon other questions because no formal action was considered necessary. There was, how ever, considerable discussion of other questions. Among these were tho ship subsidy bill, the war revenue reduction bill, tho confirmation of Mr. Harlan as Attorney-General of Porto Rico, the rati fication of the treaty with Spain for the acquisition of some of the Philippine Islands not included in the original Paris treaty, and the appropriation bills. Senator Hanna expressed his desire to have the ship subsidy bill parsed upon during the present session, and said that with tho Army bill out of the way he should ask that the decision arrived at early in the session to press the ship subsidy bill would be adhered to. " Mr Hanna was reminded of the neces sity of giving first attention to the appro priation bills, and said that he fully un derstood that, and he only meant to ask that the subsidy bill should receive at tention when the appropriation bills were not up for consideration. There waa general assent to this proposition, but it was suggested that there were other sub jects which should be parsed upon be fore adjournment, but which it was not believed would require a great deal of time. Senator Aldrlch explained in this con nectloijth necessity of getting the war revenue reduction bill through during the session, and he stated that he hoped to be able to report It from the committee on finance during the early part of next week. Mr. Aldrlch also said that he hoped to secure a unanimous agreement from the committee, and that if success ful ho hoped the Senate would not re quire a great deal of time. To get the bill through promptly It was necessary there should be no effort to amend it by putting on tariff amendments. To at tempt anything In that line would, he said, open up the entire tariff question, and the only safe course was to leave the bill as it now was, an internal revenue measure only. There was general as sent to this proposition and assurance was given that the caucus would sustain him In that position. Senator Foraker stated that he would again seek to get up the Harlan nomina tion at the first opportunity, and he asked the Republican members to remain In sufficient numbers to guarantee a quo rum, because of Senator Pettlgrew's no tice that he should require a rollcall on the vote to confirm. The importance of getting the Spanish treaty through was presented by Senator Lodge, who said that the ratification of the treaty was necessary to clean up our dealings with Spain. Senator Proctor also asked him for con sideration of the oleomargarine bill. Sen ator Hale replied to this request that the bill had not yet been reported from Sen ator Proctor's committee. To this the Vermont Senator replied the committee would be prepared to report next week. After the conclusion of the caucus. Sen ator Allison, as Its chairman, gave out the following official statement concern ing the object of the caucus and the re sult of Its deliberations: "Senator Morgan, chairman of the com mittee on inter-oceanic canals, made a re quest to the Republicans of the Senate that a day be fixed by order of the Sen ate for consideration of tho Nicaragua Canal bill. This request was made to the order of business committee, and this committee considered the request, and made the recommendation to the Repub lican conference this morning that at this time It is not expedient or wise to fix a day for the consideration of the bill, in view of the pendency of the considera tion by Great Britain of the amendments proposed by the Senate to the Hay Pauncefote treaty. This view was ap proved by the Republican caucus without division. There was a universal senti ment expressed in favor of the construc tion of the canal by the United States at the earliest practicable time." THE IRRIGATION MOVEMENT.
