They are also authorized during the j t. rm of their trust to egrry on tbe w jolen manufacturing buainess, and. if they deem it advisable, convert any portion of the estate into a manufacturing corporation. The trustees are to apply so much of said trust estate to the maintenance of his three children. Robert and I horns# A. Linn and Mary I.

At the close of the forenoon sec tion, an advocate was r«*a 1 from expert testi mony as to the cause of death. Ia Cause of Death Proven? On reassembling of court, Judge !,»>n*e nceker continued to reply to Forrest’s argu ment. In a-swering the point that .he prosecution hud not proved the cause of death, he said the jury were the bf*r judges of that fact The verdict >f tie jury, si.ould j it acquit the accused, would be a bar to am subsequent p o*e* mc»n tor the same offense. 1 alleging death by any other mean*. The l speaker went on to array the facts as proved, drawing the conclusion that the cause of death was fully shown. The indictment, he said, charged death by violence from wounds inflicted in an un known manner Experts for the State tes tified tba? death was caused by wounds on the head. Ex verts for the defense merely 1 seemed to contradict this, because they re plied to the hypothetical question, in which the necessary violence for the infliction of the wounds and other circumstances wpre left out. Longenecker made a rapid running sketch of the evidence of leading witnesses and the circun stances under which it was given, by way of reply to Forrest's charges that it was a conspiracy to convict the defendants, and taking occasion in passing, to pay con pli- 1 meets to Forest rather sharply fer the forma tion of such a charge in such a wholesale manner, aid concluded by calling the atten tion of the jury to their r* spons billty in ren jering verdict, and arguing evidence point- m! to the undoubted guilt of the prisoners Judge McConnell s Chat go Judge McConnell delivered the charge to' Phe jury. He said The manner or cause of i the death alleged in the indictment is an es tential element of the charge against the de- j Pendants. The law reqnirewthe prosecution to establish that averment to your satisfac tion bevond a reasonable doubt, as it is laid to the indictment before the conviction of the defendants or either of them can be lawful- |y had. But whether or not the manner or* cause of death was as laid in the indictment may be established by circumstantial evi dence just as any other factessential to con viction may be Circumstantial evidence in criminal cases is pr„uf of such facts, and the circumstances connected with or surrounding the commission of the crime charged, as i tends to show the guilt or innocence of the party charged if these fasts and cir cumstances sre sufficient to satisfy jury of the guilt of the defendents bevond a reasonable doubt, then such evidence is suf ficient to authorize the jury in finding the defendants guilty. It is the duty of the jury to enter upon the consideration of each cir cumstance proven, having in their minds the presumption that the defendants are each innocent. If such a fact or circumstance, when considered in connection with ail the evidence in the case, can be explained con sistently with the iunocence of the accused. I it is their duty to so explain it. In ordqy to j justify the inference of legal guilt from the j circumstatial evidence, the existence of in culpatory facts roust be absolutely incom patible with the innocense of the accused and incompatible explanation upon any other j reasonable hypothesis than that of guilt. If j yon can reconcile the facts in this case upon i any reasonable theory consistent with the innocence of the defendant, John Runic, it is your duty so to do and find said defendant, John Ku-ize. not guilty (same charge made as to each of the other defendants separately except Beggs. concerning whom this special statement was given). What Judge Bays Regarding Begge It is not.sufficient for the jury to find the resolution adopted for the appointment of the secret committee of Csmo 20. February 8, 1889. but it must further appear to your satisfaction beyond all reasonable doubt, that such a committee was appointed by the j defendant Beggs. and such appointment was in pursuance, or in the furtherance of a con- j spiracy to commit the crime set out in the indictment; and vou must further be satis-' fied beyond all reasonable doubt that the j defendant Beggs had a knowledge of the purpose for which the said committee asked, or. if appointed, he assented to its purpose subsequently, or you will not be justified in finding the participation in snch conspiracy on the part of the defendant Beggs. by reason of the facts herein stated. As there iano evidence in this case of any covert act committed by defendant Beggs in the commission of the alleged murder in the indictment in this case, therefore, unless it is established there was a conspiracy enter ed into to commit the morder charged in said indictment, to wnich conspiracy said Beggs was a party he should be acquitted. Tne testimony of verbal admissions, statements, and conversations ought to be taken by you with great caution, because that sort of testi mony is subject to much imperfection and mistake. If part of the statement in favor of the de 1 fendant is not disproved and not apparently 1 improbable or untrue when consistent with all other evidence in the case, such part of statement is entitled to as much cooaideia tion from the jury at any other part of the statement. Although you may believe the defendant (Beggs) at a meeting of Camp JO. )fav 10, remarked, ia substance, that the committee was to report to him; even if you should farther believe that such remark 1,7mrJ soma criminal Import, yet in no slow that ana he taken of his ease will you be justified ta using sack remark as avi. (knee against anjr other defendant. If the jorv belie** from the evidence in this caae. beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defen daata. or any of them, conspired and agreed together, or with others, to Border Patnek Henry Cronin, aod in 0 pursuance and furtherance of that com inoo design aod by the member or members ot such a conspiracy Patrick Henry Cronin wan murdered in the manner charged in the indictment in this case, then such of these defendants whom the jury believe from evi dence. beyond a reasonable doubt, were par ties to socb a conspiracy are guilty of the murder of *a>d Cronin, whether the identity of the individual doing the killing was estab lished or not. or whether such defendants were present at the time of the killing or not. Although you may believe that defendant Burke rented the Carlson cottage ami re moved furniture and other articles mentioned in the evidence from 117 South Clark street to said cottage, and may further believe that Crouin was murdered in the Carlson cottage, you are advised that these acts of defendant Burke are m themselves insufficient to justify you in concluding that he was a party to the allege 1 conspiracy, unless it farther appears, beyond all reasonable doubt, that such acts of defendant Burke were deliberately and wilfully intended by him to assist in the per petration of the crime of murder (Similar advice was given regarding the evidence sgainst Coughlin and O'Sullivan.) Though a common design is the essence of the charge of conspiracy, it is not neevs •ary to prove that the defendants came to gether and actually agreed in the terms, to have that design and pursue it by commou means. If the jury believe from the evi dence beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendants now on trial, or some of them, conspired together, or together with any others to the grand jurers unknown, to murder Patrick Henry Cronin and one or more conspirators, in furtherance of the conspiracy, did murder L'ronin in the manner and form charged in he indictment then any or all of the defend mts so conspired are, in law, guilty of such murder, although they may not have actually killed Cronin or beeu present at the time or place of the killing. You cannot legally convict the defendanta upon the mere doc rine of chance and probability. Although >ou may believe it highly probable and very ikeiy that the defendants are guilty, no imouut of suspicion will warrant you findiug 1 verdict of guilty against the defendants. The jury retired at 4.30 P. M., and the *ourt adjourned until 8 P. M. ^Nothing has been heard from the jury nnce 8 27. The judge'took a recess until 10, thru reappeared, after remaining an hour without result, aod then declared court ad ourned till 10 A. M. tomorrow. MAINE PERSONALS.

Mr Sawtelle retires from the office of treasurer, having held the office since 1874. The finances of the insti tution at that time were in a very mixed con dition. and not until some years later was the i Association able to pay the running expenses, when some younger blood was pot into the finances, and it at once became popular. In 1880 about fifty people in the Vail v, many holding notes against the Association, held a meeting and made a proposition to the com m ttee to take the property and assume the in 1 debtedness—make a stock company. Tbe i offer was accepted and the whole property was turned over and enough stock was taken i to pay the indvbtedo*ss.

K. Blachhall was seen yesterday at tbe county jail by a Journal reporter aad oa being naked if there was anything ha would like aaid through the columns of the Journal, •aid: “Nothing except that I am innocent of the charge on which I was convicted. This is my first experience with law and 1 think I've become sufficiently acquainted for all my purposes. The result of this trial, as I have before told you. will he to render every per son in the United States connected with a bucket shop, liable to arrest and conviction for embezzlement Why, H can't be other wise for everyone must run this business as 1 did to make it successful. There is no other way for a manager to go in’o a conser vative place like Waterville and conduct the matter. 1 didn't have any of Kinsley A Company's money but what (accounted for. The money I spent so freely was mine aud mine only. Every manager has like prvileges and gets like sums for his owu pocket. Whenever the market itaelf beats the customer the pro ceeds outside the regular commission to the house goes to the manager. That's where the point is and here is what Kinsley A Com pany were after. They thought that 1 was making too much money for myself and wanted me to divide with them. Naturally 1 couldn't see it in that light and not only hesitated about doing it but refused to. Than ibey saw a chauce to freete me out of the business and take all of it for themselves, hut, I'm afraid their Waterville business is aot running at present. They knew nothing about the business. In fact they hardly Knew who they were dealing with. Kinsley wouldn’t testify on the stand whether Doran Wright Company had both Boston and New fork offices or not. Now about some of those deals brought up it the trial. Why, 1 made deal after deal on my own account for parties. Sometimes I jot bitten, paid the loss squarely, but never went back ou a trade. There was the oat leal. The party bought at 21. protected to 10 and the market fell to lti. Of course that aii>ed out his margin. It was a deal through me and I got the money. All the deals were placed with the Doran Wright Company and I never suppressed one. On being asked if be should allow the mat ter to proceed according to the verdict, or 9ght the case still further, he answered “1 am hardly prepared to say just what 1 •hall do. My attorney, Mr. Brown, was lown today, and I don't know exactly what sill be done. Anyway, 1 care but little for mprisonment. The disgrace of the trial and rerdict of guilty of embezzlement Is more ban sufficient punishment, mentally, already Whatever there may come in bodily punish ment will not add much to it. for the other is mougb. “A HOT BOX Put* Two Mora of tha Oang Behind the Bara As reported in the specisl despatch from Jardiner, Frank Gross of Lewiston and Kos ice Avery of Farmington were captured at iardiner Friday afternoon, being wanted 'or their various misdeeds and connection with the gang of thieves of which Malcolm tnd Dyer were members They were brought 0 this city on tbe evening train and jailed. Friday word was received that parties an iwering their description were at Gardiner. Down went the officers. City Marshal Nor on and Sheriff Sylvester of Farmington got 1 covered cab, went to tbe place and discov ered them in the woods near their camp with i field between the road and them.

In the jail office :hey were very defiant and impudent in their Aik. “Well boys,’’ said Marshal Maddox, “the boys down stairs want company when they fo over.” “Is that so? Well we won't go. We are lot horse thieves or harness thieves, and we lon't propose to stay here long either,’’ said Avery. “If we hadn't known we were all right we would never have come with you today. I can show where I've been ever lince I got out of Farmington jail, and 1 lon't propose to go to State's prison.” Gross then turned and said “Why don't you get some more in here? Then you'd have quite a crowd. Why don't you get my father? He’s poor and wears old clo’.bet like mine. I should think you’d rope him in on some trumped up charge" They were reminded that the evidence ■gainst them might cause different talk, but they only sneered and talked loud and ugly. Gross, the older, is about 2H or 30, tall and powerful; roughly dressed, red leggings and rubbers on. A dirk knife was found on him precisely like tbe ones taken from Mai col in and Dyer. Each had also a large jsck knife. He has a jail record and has aerved time in Franklin county. Avery is about 25, shorter, but strong and as quick as a cat. He ia a son of the no torious Beo A very, known all through Ken nebec county and who ia still much wanted here for hia crimes. Avery hav a jail record and is known in Franklin county aa a bard case. Avery has two tears on one band ami wri«t similar to those known to be on one of the parties who robbed Tucker. They will have a bearing as soon as the officers are ready, and will probably lie over to await the action of the grand jury next April. The prompt work of Detective True, Marshal Norton. Marshal Maddox and Sher iff Sy I vester has done great service in lodg ing four such desperate men in jail. THE BOWDOIIf QUARTETTE Gave a Splendid Batertal iaa nt at Meonlao Ball.

Mr Hall Burleigh, the Kennebec cattle king, returned recently from a trip to boston where he sold seven head of his large fat cattle for beef to go to Kngland, the prices paid being rather higher than Brighton buy ers were willing to pay. He says that beef cattle are going to be higher at no distant date and farmers are making a mistake when they sell their half fattened and store -attic at the prices they are bringing now. Cattle are bringing less than it costs to produce them thousands are sold at Brighton at 2 and 24 cent*, a ruiuously low price for the farmer and breeder. We think that Geo Young, of Parkman, has obtained the largest number of natural swanus of bees from one hive in one season of any bee keeper in this part of the Slate.

During the past season they have increased to ten natural swarms, one of which ha* made itself a home in the wood*. Mr. Young thinks that one or two swarms came out and went into the woods when he was not at home. These bees have stored more honey on an average than they wiil need for the winter.
