ah Sl^ c THE EVENING STATESMAN. VOLUME 30. ASSASSINS CONVICTED jett and White Found Guilty by Jury. PR ,SOS (OR UFE THE PENALTY r Move for New Their Counsel Trial but May Not Get It. j a Ky.. Aug. 14.—The jury in w. t( case at nine this ight in the following find the defendants Turn White guilty and ment at confinement in enitentiary tor life." The verdict trrived at after an all night ses eight-thirty this morninng v. Osborn asked the jury if they dat verdict and received a negative answer. The jury was and half an hour later the n was surprised by the announce at of an agreement. were but few people in the m. Jett received the verdict calmly hut White burst into tears. that a verdict had been caused the courtroom soon Captain Ewen was present. Only onan and several others. So much for Corbett. Now lor Jeffries, the champion. He is a fighter in every sense that the term implies. He is of the rough and ready sort, and never so happy as whea slugging. La tact, he says he woula rather fight than eat. Jeffries knowledge of its scientific principles is said to be greater than when he met Corbett in the ring before. Bu force is still his main reliance. Bull like rushes and crouching is his fortes. He rushes madly at his man tries to corner him and then sends his pile-driving blows at various parts cf his opponent's anatomy. Corbett is the one man in the game today best able to keep away from these onslaughts. The only question is does the challenger possess steam enough to plant a knock-out blow. Jeffries willingly allows- an opponent to land on him three or four times in order to return one blow. He fig ures he can afford to do so owing to the marvelous power he puts in his blows. He will employ the Jactics indicated in tonight's battle, and he thinks they will result in Corbett's defeat. So far as physical fitness is con cerned the statements are at vari ance. On the occasion of the previ ous meeting between the two Jeffries undoubtedly had the advantage in this particular. Corbett's mode of life, as before stated, had not been such as to improve his condition any, while, on the other hand. Jeffries and dissipation were compara tive strangers at that time. Just how the chances stand now it is difficult to state ex actly. Corbett undoubtedly has been taking excellent care of himself for a year or more in anticipation of to night's meeting. Those intimately acquainted with him declare that his condition is as fresh as that of any youngster, and the brightness of his eye seems to bear out these declara tions. On the other hand, rumors have been current off and on for a long time to the effect that the eham-> pion was not taking as good care of himself as he might. However, this may be, it appears that he has been training faithfully of late and should go into the ring in good shape. So far as weight and measurements go he will have a great advantage over his opponent. He will weigh in at fully 25 pounds heavier than Corbett. This, however, may be a disadvan tage. Jeffries' admirers, however, figure 'hat Corbett's power of endurance are limited and unequal to the twenty rounds of fighting with the champion. They also ciaim that the latter is a better man physically than John L. Sullivan was the night he fought Corbett. Tonight's battle will show whether the mental calculations of Jeffries' or Corbett's followers are correct. The betting is heavily in fa or of Jeffries, but as one shrewd sport ing man ventured to remark today it is not always the expected that hap pens. Preparations have been made by the Yosemite A. C. to seat an im mense crowd. Many sporting men are here from Chicago. Denver and other jioints. Ring Career of Jeffries. It was Tom Sharkey who gave James J. Jeffries hi's start, in life. This the sailor did in a twenty-round oattle at San Francisco May f>, 1898. Sharkey was known as the roughest and toughest of the fighters of tin coast, and when the rugged young boilermaker stood tip before him for the limit, and won at that, the latter's reputation was made. Jeffries was then 23 years old. He was born in 1875 in Ohio, but 3pent the greater part of his life in California. Jeffries' acted as sparrinng partner to Corbett, when the latter was training for his tight with Fitzsimmons. For several years after this he met in succession a number of prominent fighters, de feating some and getting draws from others. Some of those he went against were Peter Jackson, Pete Ex erett. Tom Sharkey, Bob Armstrong and Joe Goddard. He continued this in and out fighting until 1599 when, under the management of William A. Brady, he went to New York an 1 secured a match with Bob Fitzsim mons. champion of the world. The contest resulted, as all the sporting world knows, in a victory for Jeffries in eleventh round.

NIGHTS ARE FROSTY Campers at Toll Gate Have No Trouble Keeping Cool. THREE HUNDRED ARE THERE Tents Clustered About the Timber Resemble a City of Canvas—A Popular Mountain Retreat. If any Walla Walla people are suf fering from the valley's extreme heat these days they should emigrate to the Toll Gate, where frosts are of nightly occurrence and campers are compelled to sleep under blankets and wear heavy clothing in the early morning and late evening. John Lamb, of the real estate firm of Worth and Lamb,- whose family is camped at the Gate this year, ar rived in the city last night from camp with glowing tales of the cool and delightful weather campers are enjoying at the mountain retreat. Mr. Lamb left camp yesterday morning with two suits of clothes, woolen un derwear, a buffalo coat and two buggy robes on to keep out the glorious coolness. Even with this abundant covering he said he did not feel any too comfortable until he reached the Walla Walla river where the sun's rays, beating down with blistering force, compelled a hasty abandonment of superfluous clothing. After spending ten days among the cool pines the ride to the city from the forks was simply agony. The Toll Gate, Mr. Lamb said this morn ing, is the popular mountain resort this year, there being fully 300 peo ple under canvas at tne historic spot, and this number is being augumented daily by arrivals from the Weston and Athena neighborhood. Tents are clustered so thick in the limber about the Gate that they give the appearance of a small sized city. The majority of campers are fitted up an 1 prepared to remain in the mountains until the first of Septem ber. DeWitt DeWitt is tho name to look for when Mk\ w you go to buy Witch Hazel Salve.
