The trial of Andrew Ingram for the murder of Win. Duulau was finished on Mouday aud the case was submit ted to the jury lute that evening. After a deliberation lasting all night and part of the followiug day the jury brought iu a verdict of mnider in the second degree. The murder was committed about a year and. a half ago on Louse creek about eight miles north of town. The victim, Wm. Duulnp, was a miner who had lived and mined ou Louse oreek lor over 30 years. He was about 70 years of age, though strong, vigorous and hardy, llo was a man of considerable intelligence and though he lived a hermit lifo was always sociable, generous aud 'rieudly iu his dealiugs with whoever visited his cabin. He was strictly honest aud upright aud never knowingly did auyoue a wrong. At the time bis body was fouud the case was ii.vcsti- gated by the officials but no cluo whatever could be found by which the murderer could be detected and us time went ou it was generally pre sumed that his murder was cue of the mysteries which wonld never be solved. About two mouths ago, however, a boy' named Lloyd Ingram, then at tho Monumental mine iu Del Norte oouuty, California, iu a conversation relative to the murder of Geo. Dunne at Shelley creek, made the voluntary statement the he knew who killed old man Dunlnp. Later ho made a full statement to the oftlcetn in which lie said that the killing was done by a man named Dodsou and that his father, Andrew Iugrnui, was 1111 ac complice iu the crime. On this information Dodsou mid Ingram were immediately arrested. Ingram has steadily denied any share iu the crime but Doilsou soou after his arrest uiado a full confession, ad mitting that it was he who killed the old man and saying that tho crime was planned by himself mid Ingram and that tbe latter shared iu the pro ceeds. Dodsou told his story on the witness stand . apparently without reservaticn and iu a cool, quiet and deliberate manner, lie said that he and Ingrain, believing that the old limn had money coiicialeil about his cabin, had planned to kill him aud secure this money, and that he, Dod sou, was to do the deed. Dodsou said that ho went time times to Diinlnp's cabin with tbe intention of murder ing him. Tho first time he went the old mini was not at homo. Tbe second time he went tn tho cabin and asked for a drink of water, intending to awnit a favorable influent to com mit the crime. The old mini invited him into the cabin, brought him a drink of water, gave him some apple and treated him with such good win. aud kindliest that Dodsou found him self nimble to commit tho crime he tutinded. According to his story he decided that I10 would not do it and though ho had crept around through the timber ar:d brush to reach the cabin, when he went away from it he walked down the road openly, not caring who mw him. Ite says that on returning he was ridiculed by In grain who called him a coward and that spurred by the lunula he agreed again that he would do it. lie went tho third time to the old man's cabin. This time Dunlup had not yet come iu from his work. Dodsou stationed himself mi tho trail by the side of the roots of a fallen fir tree and as the old man appeared, carrying a heavy stick of wood Dodsou shot him through a hole between the roots of the tree, shooting quickly and, as In asserts, without any aim. The old man fell on his face and Dodsou sank down by tbe roots of the tree, him self helpless. He says that it must have been all of fivo m Milieu before he was uhlu to walk to where the old man lay and ti.at had anyone conn along during that time he would not have been utile to move, lie finally recovered his nerve to some extent mid examined the dead man s pockets, odlini nntliinit. He then sinrclieil be citbiu and found a little money, 13. dfi, which ho says he binught to town and duldid Willi Ingram ill tin ack room of tho (110,1011 nib Later lie went back In company with Lloyd Ingram and made u iiiorr thorough tcaroh of the cabin but found linlhlng of value.
