MIM9 KECE1VEB SENTENCE.
Judge Lowell Gives Five Yeais and a
Flue or 11,000
Judge Lowell passed sentence npoD
Edwin L. Mima this morning, at 9:15
o'olook, having previously denied tbe
defense's motion fer a new trial. His
judgment was thai Mr. Mima be con
fined in the state penitentiary for a term
of five years, and that be pay a fine of
$1000.
After denying tbe motion for a new
trial, Ool. Raley, for tbe defendaut,
stated tbat farther time would be
waived, and seotenoe might be passed
immediately.
Judge Lowell asked Mr.. Mims if be
bad anything to say to the court why
sentenoe should not be passed. Mr.
Mims replied firmly:
"Nothing, Your Honor; exoepting the
faot tbat I am not guilty."
Counsel desired to any nothing further
in behalf of the defendaut, and Judge
Lowell then passed sentence.
C. H. Carter, of counsel tor the de
fense, was asked by tbeEutt Uregonian
if tbe defense was prepared at this time
to say whether appeal would be taken,
and replied tbat tbey were not yet de
termined. PASSING SENTENCE ON EDWIN L MIMS
Judge Lowell's language in full, as he
passed sen ten oe, was;
"The jury which returned a verdict
in this oase uocompaoied it with a
reoommendation couched in substance
in tbe following language," " We, tbe
jury, reoommeud tbe defendant to the
extreme mercy of the court." It has
always seemed to me that such a reoom
mendation very properly be made by a
trial jury, if tbey conceived tbat they
were warranted by tbe evidenoe in so
doing; and in pnssiog sentence in tbe
past I believe I have invariably respeot
ed tbe request of a jury thus expressed.
I shall do so in this oase.
"oiDce tbe rendering of tbe verdiot
some of the jurymen who eat upon the
osse (noLtrfl however) have called upon
me to advise what tbe language of their
reoommendation was intended to im
port, giviug me to understand tbat tbey
desired that the lowest seotenoe under
tbe statute should be imposed.
"No judge oan be governed by the
opinions or desires of individual junrs,
however much may respect tbe men.
Tbe law run ken the verdiot itseit tbe
voice of thfl,wkola j.ary,.ni. upon that
alone the judge cau aot. Were it other
wise, in this case hs well as most others
there would be tendered as many differ
ent opinions iu the jury room before tbe
verdiot was reiiched.
"A judge is not bound to consider any
reoommendutiou of a jury, and if be
r oes be must oonstrne tbe language of
tbe reoomeudation as it appears, deem
ing it an expression in ordinary phruse
of tbe sentiment of the entire twelve
men nth whose endorsement it is pre
sented. "In this onee, therefore, I shall follow
tbe recommendiiticn, giviug it tbe
reasonable oointruction that tbe jury
did not intend to diotute to the court, or
to trespass upon its province, but in
tended to ask tbat there be imposed tbe
lowest penalty which the oousoienoe
and duty of tbe judge would, in his
judgement, peimi'.
"With the finding of the verdiot tbe
responsibility of tbe jury censes, the
law having imposed upon the judge the
duty of passing sentence, and upon tbe
governor the power of pardon, if tbere
is warrant for the exercise of that bigb
prerogative.
"Therefore iu passing sentence in this
oae at this time, I take into consider
ation fully the reoommendation of
mercy whiob tbe jory saw fit to attach
to ihs verdiot, but neither my duty nor
my judgement will permit the individual
expressions of jurymen to weigh no.
"Impising sentence is always a pain
ful duty, but it is one which tbe law
imposes upou a trial judge, and in
whiob unhappily responsibility can
neither be avoided, nor shared by
others.
"Honoring, then, the jury's recom
mendation of extreme mercy, tbe judg
ment of tbe oonrt is that you be im
prisoned iu the state penitentiary for
tbe period of five years, and tbat you pay
a fine of una thousand dollars."
DKNTINQ THE bEFBNHg'g MOTION
In tbe motion for a new trial inter
posed by defendaut in tbis oase seven
grounds are presented, upon four of
wbiob oouosel in their argument appar
ently obiefiy rely, to wit: errors io law
ooounng at trial; misconduct of special
oouosel for state in commenting upon
tbe evidenoe produced by tbe state;
newly discovered evioenoe; and misoon
Juol of the jury,.
Tbe first two grounds referred to in
volve points of law raised upon trial,
wherein defendant's riguts were fully
preserved by Moeptlous taken at the
iime, and both present technical legal
joestmus, debatable It is true under tbt
authorities, but Uon whiob a trial oourt
woold not be warranted in granting a
new triel.
The stti lnvits before the oourt elimi
nate from consideration the question of
newly dinoovered evidence. The man
Lee, now brought forward as possessing
information important to the defense,
genua to btve been frequent caller
a poo defendant after bis luosroera
tioo; sod tbat faot, coupled 'with tbe
otber fuot that def&ndant is bluuelf a
lawyer and beuoe naturally presumed to
be seeking evidence favorable to bimself
and to koow tbat what Lee now says, if
true, would be valuable evidenoe, makes
tbat ground for a new trial wholly un
tenable. The fourth ground, tbe alleged mis
conduct of tbe jury io returning a com
promise verdict, presents a somewhat
oommin and probably unavoidable in
congrnity io tbe jury system. A strlot
construction of the law will not coun
tenance a compromise in the jury room,
and yet every lawyer, aud every man
who has ever sat opon b jury, kuows
that tbe great majority of verd.ots are
in some degree a compromise, indeed
the very spirit of the jury trial is tbat io
the verdiot shall blend and merge the
varing opinions of twelve men. They
are expeoted to discuss tbe evidenoe and
reach, under the law, a oommon senti
ment which is voioed to the world
by their verdiot. Compromise must
exist as long as tbe human will is
stubborn and a jury composed of more
than one man. Tbe oourt9 recognizj
tbis, have come to a praotioally uniform
aooeptauoe of the salutory and wise rule
In motions for a new trial, that "Suoh
is never to be grunted it the court oon
ceives that tbe substantial legal juitioe
of tbe case has been reaohe 1, notwith
etaadiug tbat irregularities may have
oooured."
Iu tbe ouss at bar I am unable to see
where tbere has been any miscarriage
otjustioa; iu dead there has been n.o
oordel this defendant a full, fair and
impartial trial in every 8chj of thosi
terms. Tbe o we hts been tried with
marked ability on both Hides. Nothing
has been omitted which could illumine
the ciroumstanaes of the unfortunate
tragedty, or assist the jury in arriving
at a proper verdiot. With untiring zest,
watohful oare sud uuuial nkill defend
ant's rights bava b ten guarded and his
cause presented. His o luimel need have
no regrete. No man accused of on me
bas ever been more ably defended, or
tried before a better jury,
Tbe jury was oomposed of subftanti il
oitizeus. They were neither ohilJren
uor weaklings, aud the oourt mist as
sume that tbe verdiot returned was tboir
verdiot the vt rdiot of each as deolared
to be wheo the same was presented and
filed. It is tru that a recommendation
of meroyj r--fl)otiug tho oompaHsion and
sympathy of a part or all the jurymou,
may Indicate a compromise: it probably
does; hut that is no reason why the
ooort should say that the vrdiot it-tilf
is not tbe expression of tbe combined
opinion of the whole panel. If courts
were to be governed by what iu lividml
jurymen may say after verdict to inter
ested parties as to the expressions a id
proceedings of tbe jury room, I fear
tunny tria's would never fl'Jtl au end
Beoause a verdiot bas io it tbe elements
of compromise will never jmtify setting
tbe same aside uoless there has b ien a
palpable failure of justioe,
While it is the province of the jury to
determine tbe faots, it is the duty of the
judge to follow tbe evideaoa io ordsr
that no iojuatioe may be done, aod tbat,
be may be prepared, in tin event of
conviction, to impose a juat sentence.
In tbis cine I am convinced that no
otber vorliot than mauataiihU)r was
justified by the evidence. Tbe eleraints
of premenditation and dolibiratioo
necessary to oonstititnte mnrd ir in tbe
first degree were lacking, and tho ele
ments of purprwe and malice were not
sufficiently apparent to m ike the homi
cide murder in the seoond degree; while
on the other band tbe evidouoe failed to
disolose to my mind any such conditions
or circumstances surrouodiog the as.
sanlt made by Miller as would excise
or justly killing him io self defense.
Tbe statutory deflnatiou of man
slaughter, viz: "If any persoa shall,
without malice, express or implied, and
without deliberation, upon a sudden
bent of passion, caused by a provocation
apparently sufficient to make the passion
irresistible, voluntarily kill another,
suoh person shall be deemed guilty of
manslaughter," defines tbe crime as I
view tbe evidenoe giveo from tbe stand,
of wbicb this defendant is guilty ; aud
the jury having returned that verdiot,
the court will not be warranted in set
ling the' same aside.
Tbe motion will be therefore denied.

tbat tbe disaster of Monday near Lady

Gen. White is blamed for not having

mand from its untenable position.
Jol Carleton is blamed for not having

the Cape boys who were driving the
mules and whose loyalty bas been under
suspicion, caused tbe stampede in order
to help the Brier canse.

BRITISH DEFEATED.
The Boera Capture Two Regiments and a
Battery, Including 2000 Men.
By tho Associated Press.
London, Oot. 31 A dispatob from
General White commanding tbe British
forces at Ladysmitb reports tbat the
royal Irish fiwileers, a mounted battery,
and the Glouoester regiment w.ere sur
rounded in tbe hills by the Boers and
after loosing heavily were obliged to
onpitnlate. Casualties not ascertained.
While miuor reverses were not wholly
unexpected nothing like the staggering
blow General Joubert delivered to Gen
eral White's forces yesterday was antici
pated. The full extent of the disaster ia
oot yet acknowledged, if known at tbe
war office. Tbe loss in effeol must be
appalling to General White, who is
pruotioally surrounded. Two of the
flueat British regiments and a mule
buttery deducted from tbe Ladysmitb
garrisoQ weakens it about one-fifth its
total strength and niters tbe whole situ
ation materially in favor of the Boers,
wbo havo again shown themselves
strong fighters and military strategists
of uo mean order. Tbe disaster cost the
British from 1500 to 2000 men and six
seven pound screw guus, and as tbe
Boer artillery was already stronger than
imagiued the capture of theae guus will
be a great help to the Boers. Never
was the old saying, "Bad news travels
(juiokly" better exemplified than today,
by noon sorrow prevailed throughout
tbe British metropolis. At the govern
ment office no tffort was made to oouoeal
tbe feeliug of dismay prevailing. One
official said to tbe representative of the
Associated Press: "It is nuexplainable
and I am sorry to say the moral of tbe
effeot is inestimnblo, we have lost heev
ily in mauy ways and bud regiments
almost wiped out, but to have our regi
ments captured and by the Boers iB
terrible." As tbe day wore on orowds
around tbe war oflioe Bwelled to enor
mous proportions and at GlouoeBter, tbe
home of many of those engaged, the
wildest exoitemeut prevailed.
A dispatch from Ladysmitb says tho
Boers Buffered severely during tbe en
gagement, some persons estimating their
loss at 700 to 1000 killed and wounded.
CAUSE OF THE ltOUTE.
London, Nov. 1 Tbe war office today
made public a dispatob from General
While, dusoribiug the operations of
Monday.- It ttj-ct follows; - --'.
We took out from Lndysuiiih a brigade
of mounted troops, two brigade divisions
of the royal artillery, lUf Natal field
battery aud a brigade of infantry to re
couuoitor iu foroe the enemy's main
position. In connection with this an
advnuoe column consisting of the Tenth
mountain artillery, tour bait companion
of tbe Gloucester aud six companies ol
of the It iiil Irish fusileors, under Lieu
tenant Colonel Carlton aud Major Ayde,
was dispatched to marob by night up
the Bell spruit, thus turning tho enemy's
right flank.
Ciraumstauoes wtiich attended the
movement of Carlton's oolnmn are not
yet fully known, But from reports re
ceived tbe oolnmn appears to have car
ried out the night march unmolested,
until within two miles of Nicholson's
Nek. At tbis point two boulders rolled
from the hill and a few rifle sliota stam
peded tbe infantry ammunition mules.
1'he stampede spread to the battery
muleB, which ran away with practically
the whole of the gnu equipment aud tbe
greater portion of the smull arm ammu
nition. The reserve was similarly lost.
Tbe infantry battalion fixod bayonets,
and HOcompanied by the personnel of
the artillery, seizud a bill two miles
from tbe Nek, with but little opposition.
At dawn tbe skirmish attack on our
position was commenced by the enemy.
Their fire beoame very scorching uud
two companies of Ulouoesters were
ordered to fall back. The enemy then
pressed to short range, tbe lusseB on
our side beoams very numerous. At 3
p. m, our ummuuitiou was pruoticully
exhausted. The position was oaptured
and the survivors of tbe oolumn fell into
tbe enemy's bunds. The want of suc
cess was due to the stampede of tbe
mules, and the consequent loss of guus
and the small arm ammunition reserve.
The security of Ladysmitb is in no way
nflucted.

TIM TO WNSEND GOES FREE.
Verdict of "Not Guilty" In the Homicide
Case Against Him.
Tbe jury in the oase against Tim
Townsend for the alleged murder of
William Hale at Dale, Umatilla county,
Oregon, on September 29, returned a
verdiot of "not guilty" Sunday, after
having been out since Saturday after
noon. Mr, Townsend was, therefore,
ordered released by Judge Lowell, and
Sheriff Blakley opened tbe door of the
jail sod Townsend went forth a free man.
In the instructions given to the jury
by Judge Lowell was one upon which,
apparently, the jury based the verdiot.
Tbe instruction iu question was to tbe
effeot that Townsend was justified ia
killing Hale, in oase the evidence showed
tbat Hale was about to commit a felony
on Tom Tuttle, To vassa l's friend, at
tbe time being iu a dwelling house. It
appears from the testimony that Ander
son, the man who kept tbe tent saloon,
bad bis bed in the teat, and that he also
oooked bis meals there, in short, thai
Anderson lived in the tent as his dwell
ing bouse, as well as ran a Baloon there.
Consequently, tbe apparent intention, of
Hale to kill Tuttle by cutting him with
a knife, thus committing a felony on
Tuttle iu a dwelling house, was legal
justification for Townsend shooting Hale
with a Winchester, as be did admittedly.
. The element of self-defense appeared
not to figure as principal in the case,
although it was shown by tbe defense's
witnesses that Hale threatened to out
out Towasend's heart, and remarked
that be would out large numbers of shoe
strings out of tbe bides of the other two
men.
Tbe tact tbat there was a bed and
stove in the tent used by Anderson in
living, appears to have been the saving
element for Townsend, aud in all proba
bility caused tbe jury to return tbe ver
dict of not guilty.
Of course, tbis verdiot ends tbe oase,
beoause the State of Oregon never ap
peals, and Townsend Is permanently
tree from tbe allegations of tbe prosecu
tion, going free from tbe obarge carried
in tbe indiotment.
Never bas a homiaide case tried in the
oourts here attracted so little attention,
at times not more tbau balfadizia
people being ia the room as speot itors.

But He Failed to Knock Ont Sharkey, Who
Ouve Him a Terrlllo Flitht-
Nisw Youk, Nov. 4 -Although Tom
Sharkey failed to secure a decision in his
fight with James J. Jeffries, tbe cham
pion, last night at Coney Island, N. Y. ,
he can lay claim to oredit tor putting up
one of tbe most terrifio contests ever
witnessed in the pugeliot ring. Jeffries
himself very frankly admits tbat it was
by far his hardest battle, and the big
obampion today oarries a split nose, eye
ana ear as evidences or wnat tie waa up
agaiust. Sharkey bus two broken ribs
and a broken band.
In five rounds Jeffries had the better
of the flht iu tbe first two sod tbe last
three: During tbe other 20 Sharkey
forced tbe issue, and, like a bull terrier,
was at his man with both hands un
ceasingly. Ia tbose 20 rounds Jeffries'
great weight aud bruwu helped him to
bold off tbe sailor, and in the 22d round
be swung In a couple of vicious nppor-
cults tbat made Sharkey gr.iggy. Tom
came back again in tbe 24tb and '25th ,
but be was woakenod greatly by Jeffries'
vicious bliws.
One minute before tbe gong Bounded
to end the fight, Jeffries' left gloye came
aud practically tbe oon test was over.
The referee motioned to Jeffries' eorner,
an American flag was filing over tbe
champion's shoulder, aud tbe crowd on
that side and end of tbe arena obeered
wildly. The crowd on the opposite side
and end, in Sharkey's corner, yelled for
Sharkey, and tbe men were led back to
tbeir dressing-rooms.

of them saw a rattlesnake and killed it.
Another appeared aud resented the at
tack on their resort and, likewise, was
also killed. Tbe boys kept on killing
rattlesnakes until Dl had been destroyed.
Tbe peculiar feature of it is no one has
seen any rattlesnakes iu that vicinity
for many years, although originally tbe
spring! were named because of tbe large
number of rattlesnakes found tbere.
