Strickland received the sentence of seclusion for life without the lent sign of emotion; VThe same indiffer ence was noticeable on hia counten. auce tbat has character'aid hla d. meador ever since he was arrested. After sentence had been patsed upon him and he was told to get up to be transferred back to the jail, he shrug ged his shoulders just a trifle. but "that wss -alL His mother and ; slater, who were.. In the court room, displayed far more concern in the proceedings than did the prisoner himself; Strickland said7 yesterday that be was only 80 years of a ?e and bis term of Imprisonment is. taerefore, long. Ia passing sentence upon hint Judge Justice tried to im press upon the prisoner the gravity of the charges against him and told him that he was very lucky to escape with his neck. , The words of His Honor, however, appeared to have little effect upon the negro He will probably be sent to the State's prison in Baleleh the last of this or the first of next week. ' 1 '' - 'I" When court met yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock members of the jury. who bad been out all night, were no nearer an agreement than when they first retired. They stood eight to four for conviction but neither side would give way to the other so far as burgla ry in the first degree -was concerned. Soon after court convened In the morning several members desired in structions from the judge as to wheth er they, could properly return a verdict of birglary in the second degree but they were told that if ihey believed the evidence, the prisoner was either auilty in the first degree or not gnilty at all. At 11 o'clock there was still no further probability of an agreement and at that hour Judge Justice ordered the jury to Come into court. He learned of their continued disagree ment and told them of the tacit under standing of counsel In view of the strong probability of a mistrial, and by instruction a .verdict of second de gree was entered by consent. - f The jury was composed as follows : Messrs. O. O. Byerly foreman), John R. Hsnby, W. F. Kerr, E. B. Ellis, J. J. Williams, R. F. Colwel), H. L. Hewett, A. G. Alderman, W J. Beach, J. H. Sjket, L. M. LtGwin and C. B. Davis. It is understood tbat the four who would hot, consent to a ver dict in the first degree were Messrs. Davis, Hewett. Alderman and Beach. The verdict, as finally returned, will probably meet with nearly, If not quite, the Bame, public approval that would have followed a conviction in the first degree, for which Solicitor Duffy strongly contended all through the trial, bowing at last only to the will of the c jurl in the matter and when there was no alternative. 'Judgment in the three other bur elary cases against Strickland war, of course, suspended. Strickland is phy sically not strong, but he Is said to be wonderfully intelligent for one of his race.. At the same time, his utter in .difference to everybody and every thing gives rise to the suspicion that he is not bright. His case is a puz zling one. He showed wonderful: in genuity in the , planning and execu tion of hia burglaries, but it Is doubt ful if even now he realizes the gravity of the offences which he committed and for which he was tried. sttorney Hired the Defendant. The only .case in the municipal court yesterday was tbat of Duncan Hall, colored,, charged with a second offence of being drunk and down. He, was picked up at , Tenth and Castle streets by Policeman M. C. Gray.1 The Mayor imposed a fine of $10 and costs on the negro. Hall said he was a ear penter by trade, but had no money.
