IIillsuqko, Or., Dec. 13. At 4
o'clock Saturday the. Jury In the case of
uus Wachlln, charged with the mur
der or joihi u. JLiCurlck, returned a
verdict of guilty as charred in the
Indictment. The jury retired at 10
o'clock, and In Just six hours the verdict,-
which means hanging, was
handed Into court, and the Jury dis
charged. A number of citizens re
mained up, expecting the Jury to come
In before morulng, and were In the
court room at the time the verdict
was read.
Wachlin was ordered by the court to
stand while the verdict was being
read. With Ills hand resting on the
back of a chair, his Jaw9 quivering,
his face Hushed from excitement, he
awaited the final announcement.
When It came his head dropped, Ills
Jaws became set, his face pale, and
the vlcioui look at the Jury showed
the state of his feelings,
The first ballot taken by the Jury
after retiring was as to guilt or in
nocence, without regard to degree,
the 12 votes being cast for guilt. The
second and third ballot arc under
stood to have been eight for guilty as
charged, a id four for murder In the
second degree. On the fourth ballot,
the Jury voted unanimously. A fifth
ballot was taken to make sure, with
me same result. The jury was re-
ported to have discussed the chain of
circumstantial evidence thoroughly,
and to have contrasted it with that
against Durrant.
The court has set Saturday, Teccm
ber 18, as the time for passing sent
ence. The defense will then move for
a new trial, it being claimed that
new evidence has been found. Should
an appeal be taken, there Is little
doubt that the verdict will bcalllrmcd
as the court, In passing upon ques
tions of law raised durltg the jrlal,
gave the defendant the benefit of all
doubts, preferring If there were any
errors, that they be on tho side or the
defense.
