JURY FINDS BROWN GUILTY OF CHARGE

Returns Its Verdict After Seventeen Hours' Deliberation. WIFE BREAKS DOWN Penalty As Prescribed by Law Is From 2 to 14 Years. A. verdict of guilty was returend today against Richard Brown, charged with Bhooting with intent to kill Howard Starr. The case went to the jury Friday evening at 6 o'clock, but a verdict was not reached until 11 this morning. As the hours passed and a verdict was not reached Drown seemed to take courage, and at times laughed at humorous episodes recounted in the trial of a divorce case that occupied the attention of the court this morning. The attorney for the defense at once asked for a copy of the instructions to the jury with the intention of asking a new trial should they be able to secure sufficient grounds for such action. Penalty Severe. The first ballot showed that the jury was unanimous in favor of a verdict of guilty, but was undecided upon the punishment that could be fixed should It return a verdict of a lesser degree than charge in the indictment. The verdict carries with It a penalty of from two to fourteen years' imprisonment. Brown's young wife broke down completely when the verdict was read. Howard Starr and his wife, who sat with the prosecution during the progress of the trial, were not in the court room. L E Charter Accepted and Union Officers Elected By Workers. Official organization of about thirty-five laundry workers was completed last night with the presentation of a union charter and the election of officer. Four laundries of the city will belong to the union. Charles Turner, driver for the Monarch laundry, was elected president. J. H. McAfee and W. H. Kingman, owners of the Monarch, laundry, were present at the meeting and gave short talks, showing they favor organized labor. They were the only laundry owners present. Besides the election of Charles Turner as president of the new union, other elections were as follows: Homer Hollingsworth, Richmond Steam Laundry, vice president; Everett Moore, Monarch laundry, financial secretary; Mary Long, Monarch laundry, corresponding secretary; Esther McCarthy, Richmond Steam laundry, treasurer. To Choose Headquarters. Trustees and several minor officers will be elected at a special meeting which will be held next Friday night. At that time permanent rooms will be selected. The charter for the new union was presented by Organizer T. H. Flynn. Mr. Flynn gave a short talk advising the laundry workers of their duties in connection with the union and telling them of the benefits which are derived both to employer and employe. Mr. Flynn left today for his home in Pittsburg where he will remain until Tuesday. He will return then and make ready for the presentation of the charter to the building trades council recently organized and to the unions belonging to the council. The directors of the state building trades union have been attending the convention at Seattle and the granting of charters has been delayed. However the charters are expected Thursday or Friday. There will be eleven unions in the council. CONFESSESJ THEFT O. T. Miller Sold Quantity of Stolen Clover Seed. Driving to the Jonas Markee farm last night. O. T,. Miller entered the barn and brought 234 pounds of clover seed back to Richmond. Miller disposed of the seed to Omar Whelan this morning, and got his check cashed at the Railroad store. Whelan became suspicious and notified the police department. Miller was arrested and confessed to the theft. Miller, who has been in the city for only a few days, hired a spring wagon at one of the livery stables last night. He said he wanted to drive to New Westville. Instead, he told Police Chief Gormou today he went to the Markee farm, loaded the clover seed and returned to Richmond. At Whelan's feed store Miller asked the price paid for clover seed and immediately accepted. This and the fact that he was not careful about cleaning out the wagon bed, as the ordinary farmer does, aroused the suspicion of employes. Miller received $23.90 for the seed. When arrested he had $19.43. TO LEAVE CITY H. C. Barrett and Charles J. Poland, of the Logan Natural Gas company, who have been in tbis city for some weeks will go to Muncie, Monday. Tall cypress, planted by the landscape engineering department of tho Panama-Pacific International Exposition, are now growing in various parts of the exposition grounds giving a warm look of shrubbery and woods once were sand dunes and city lots with scattering humble homes.

There was enough of everything to supply all dealers and prices remained the same. About the usual supply of eggs was brought in by farmers. The poultry supply was good. Wheat came in slow all week in spite of the announced increase in price to 93 cents. Farmers are either holding on to their grain for a higher price or the supply is unusually short this year. The wagon market has been slow all week and dealers are of the opinion that farmers have little more on hands than they can use on the farms.

ter POLICE PERSONNEL Ml REMAIN SAME New Member of Board Says But Few Changes Will Be Made. It is generally believed that there will not be many changes in the personnel of the police department by

the new members of the police board. him, that he may not have to wonder 'One member of the board stated to-! what they would rather have. Old Sanday that he thought both First Serg-! ta they 5"iow. has a big task in se-

eant McNally and Second Sergeant Winters were efficient officers and that it would be a mistake to remove them. He said that he did not know the sentiment of the two other board members, but thought they were of the same opinion as himself. "I think it would be bad poliev to make many changes on the police ! torce and I will oppose any such action," this commissioner said. Edgar Iliff, who has been serving as president of the board of police commissioners since the death of Joseph Betzold, denied today the report that he intended to make a contest to hold his position on the board. "Mr. Betzold was appointed to the board under the old metropolitan police law by the governor and his term did not expire until 1916," said Mr. Iliff. "On his death I was appointed by Mayor Zimmerman to fill out Mr. Betzold's unexpired term. Prior to the aeatn 01 mi: tietzoia tne metropolitan police law had been changed, transferring the appointing power of police board members from the governor to the mayors of the various towns and cities." Mr. Iliff said he might have the legal right to fill out the late Mr. Betzold's term of office but he was not desirous of doing so if his services were not desired by the new administration.
