Kalarna, Wash., Deo. 21.— “Guilty •a charged” was tbe verdict ot the (jury at 9:30 o’clock tonight in the case of tbe state of Washington against Mar­ tin Nttjkel for the murder of William B. Hhanklin. Htickel is the most notorious and cold-blooded criminal ever tried in the court« of Cowlitz countv. A year ago last November, William B. Hhanklin was killed at his home near Kelao, and his house was burned over his dead body. He was shot at night while eating supper, The case was shrouded in mystery, and no clew to the murderer could be obtained. On the evening of November 28, 1900, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Knapp, an aged couple, living near Castle Rock, were killed while at tbe supper table in the same manner as Shanklin was one year before. It was evident that the same man had »ximmitted both crimes. committed Sheriff Kirby and Detective Sam Him- mens trac«*d the crime to Martin Stickel, who lived on a scow near the mouth of the Cowlitz river. Stickel was arrested. Ho maintained his in- oocence until confronted with the fact that his watch and keys had boon iden­ tified as having belonged to Nbanklln, the murdered man. Then be made a partial contession, and implicated his neighbor, Ed Pierce. After bis preliminary trial, be was taken to the Pierce coanty jail for safe keeping. There be joined tbe Salva­ tion Army and made a full confeesion, admitting that be did the killing in both tbe Mbauklin and Knapp murders, snd that be was alone in tbe matter. When arraigned in tbe superior court today, on the adivce of bis counsel he pleaded not guiliy, aud his esse wm tried upon tbe evidence, which was overwhelmingly against him. The de­ fense made an unsuc»M)seful attempt to yrove that the man had inherited a criminal disposition to trie extent that be was not accountable for bis sctions. His mother testtied that before hi» birth aud duriDg ge« tat ion she was mad at everybody and that the child was born sick and was always an un­ natural child. Tbe jury was out but one boor. Tbe prisoner was sentenced by Judge Miller to be banged on a date to be hereafter fixed, not sooner than 30 days nor later than 90 days (rum fave Turned the Tide by Enter* ing Cape Colony.
