Open day and nlghL HARKLEY GUILTY Jury Retcms Verdict of Murder the Second Degree. in (Journal Special Service.) SALEM. Oct 18. John F. Markler was last evening found guilty of murder In the second degree by a Jury of his peers This was the result of the three days' trial of Mr. Markley for the killing of bis former business associate, J. D. Fair, t Champoeg, on June 25 last. The verdict was found by the Jury after deliberating for four hours, and the early return into court, by the jurors, with a verdict was a surprise to many, as the feeling was prevalent that the contest In the Jury room would bs long, and If a verdict waa agreed upon at all It would not be until this morning. The closing arguments were mads yes terday morning by John M. Gesrin. ot Portland, for the defense, and by Deputy District Atorney John W. McNary for the state, the entire forenoon being con sumed In the argument. Both of these gentlemen made eloquent pleas, and the courtroom was crowded to the very doors to hear them. At 1 :15 .p. m. Judge George II. Burnett delivered his charge to the Jury, and at 1:40 o'clock the Jurors retired to deliberate upon a verdict It was nearly 6 o'clock before they re-entered the courtroom . with the verdict finding the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree. When the verdict had been read in open court, and the defendant was taken back to the county Jail, be dis cussed the matter with Sheriff B. B. Col bathe, and h rather expressed surprise that the verdict was not for murder in' the first degree, or acquittal. The defend ant himself appears to have looked for no agreement on a middle ground. There Is a strong probability that an appeal will b-i taken, and if so, one of the grounds for an appeal will ' be the refusal' ol Judge Burnett to allow the shotgun ot the defendant, the caps taken oft the gun and the wa,ds extracted from the Ure al m, to be taken Into the Jury room.
