FOR LIFE!

So Decree Twelve Wise Men of Montgomery County.

THE LONG TRIAL OF EX-BEV. W. F. PETTIT FOB THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE AT AN END. "We, the jury, find the defendant, William F. Pettit, guilty of murder in the first degree and fix his Dunisbment at imprisonment for life." GEOBOE SMALL, Foreman,

And so ends the long trial. When the case was given to the jury at 8:80 o'clock Wednesday night it was very generally believed that they would have no difficulty in coming to a conclusion and that they would have a verdict ready at the opening of court Thursday morning. In this they were not disappointed. At nine o'clock the court room waB filled to overflowing, When Judge Snyder sounded his gavel for order and the jury ushered in to their places the great crowd of men, women and children clamored on top of the seats and for a time bedlam reigned supreme. After much delay and harsh talk the crowd was finally seated and quieted. In a stentorian voice the Judge then asked: "Gentleman, have you found a verdict?" To which George Small responded: "We have." It was then delivered to the court who in turn handed it to T. D. Brown, who read as above. Mr. Petfit came into court looking cheerful, considering the night of extreme anxiety and netvousness he must have passed, although Turnkey Jones sayshe retired early and, he thinks, slept soundly. As the jury entered Pettit carefully scanned each lace as though looking for encouragement As Court Clerk Brown began reading the verdict, Pettit's head was erect, but when the words "guilty of murder" reached his ears his head dropped on the table and remained In that position during the remainder of the proceedings, weeping like a child, until he waB ushered back to his quarters in the jail.

After the judge's instructions on Wednesday night the jury letired and at once organized by making George Small, foreman. A ballot was then taken and eleven of the jury responded guilty and one not guilty, but on the second ballot they were unanimous as to his guilt A ballot was then taken to fix his punishment The first time ten were for imprisonment for life and two for hanging. The second ballot fixed his punishment at Imprisonment for life.

This great trial began Oct. 8. The first.few days were occupied in selecting a jury. That that portion of work was excellently done is observed in the following list of gentleman: Ira Booher, of Darlington George Small, Waynetown A. E. Eastlack, city Noah Flannlgan, Union W, U. Goodbar, Scott M. A. Connor, Walnnt J. M. Carter, Scott F. M. line], Union J. T. Kelsey, Franklin G. W, Lee, Union G. B. Foust, Union, and Asa Corn, Union. The rest of the time up until Nov. 18 was occupied in hearing the testimony. The case was stubbornly fought from beginung to finish. The attorneys for the defense embraced some of the brightest legal lights in the state: Messrs. Knmler, DeHart, Gay lord and Stuart, of Lafayette, aud Judge Davidson, of this city, who contested every inch of legal ground with the prosecution, The state was represented by ProBecutingAttorney Haywood, of Lafayotte, and Prosecutor Anderson, of this city. .Nearly 180 witnesses were examined and in each case suffered severe cross examinations. It was at first thought that the prosecution had a weak case but as the trial progressed their case gained much strength, but it is a matter of much doubt in many minds if the evidence warranted such a severe verdict, but that fact remained with the jury and not with outsiders. The argument began a week ago last Wednesday, Prosecutor Haywood opening witli a very forcible address for the state. He spoke for a day and a half. He was followed by Col. DeHart for the defense, who occupied the attention of the jury for two days in his usual happy style. Judge Davidson then spoke for' a day in behalf of Mr. Pettit, and made, what was supposed at the timo, a marked effect on the jury. Mr. Kuraler than followed with a day's speech for the defense and made a magnificent argament. Mr, Anderson took the floor Wednesday morning for the state and successfully proceeded to undo all the good work done by the state. His speech was by far the ablest delivered during the trial. Mr. Anderson closed at 5 o'clock p. m., and the^Judge began reading bis in* structions to the jury at 7 o'clock p. m., and occupied about an hour's time. The.instructions were clear and to the point, and were thought by some to give the defendant mnch of the best of it

NOTES,

The pay of the jurymen in tbe Pettit trial is about $85 each. Several people condemn while others compliment the verdict

People congregated in groups all over tbe eity discussing tbe verdict The election and Pettit. trials being over, what will the people have to talk about.

Tbe defense asked for thirty days for which to file ainotlaa for a new trial and it was granted.

Mr. Eumicr, in his argument, told in a plain unvarnished fashion, bis opinion of Rev. G. W. Switzer.

Anderson's speech was very able ,and did much toward governing the jury in framing the verdict

Several beta were offered Wednesday night that the jury would bring iu a verdict of acquittal but found no takers.

Mrs. Shields expressed herself as well pleased with the verdict, tbe Judge, the jury and tbe people of Crawfordsville.

Crawfordsville legal talent iu the Pettit trial compared very favorable with tbe importations from abroad. Both Davidson, and Anderson acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of their friends.

The trial shut off all other legal business before the Circuit Court and now that is it over other attorneys are glad.

Should Judge Snyder refuse to grant a new trial the attorneys for the defense will appeal their case to the Supreme Court.

A rumor is current that when Petiit is brought before the court to receive his sentence he will make a speech in his own behalf at some length.

What will gushing grass-widows and sentimental old maids do with their boquets now that Pettit is to be located for life on the shores of Lake Michigan?

In all probabilities Prosecutor Haywood will now institute a search for Mrs. Whitehead. There is no doubt in any reasonable mind that it Pettit is guilty, the fair widow is equally so

Most of the Methodist preachers of the Conference consider Pettit guilty and wanted biin convicted. Tbe question is where does the Christianity come in in this kind of, a desire. They will perhaps omit him in their prayers for the unfortunate.

The question is where is Mrs. Whitehead? She had been located in Canada, Hayti, Oregon and a dozen other countries. It is prolable she will aim, now that Pettit has been convicted, to keep away as far as possible from the scenes of her late troubles.
