ed it on both second and third read
ings by 'a big majority: r
Representative Kellum was among
the advocates of the minority report
and who addresswl the House. The
new law, if it passes the Senate, which
some say is doubtful, amends the pres

employes both guilty of a violation of
law when employes work over the pre
scribed hours, and releaves the em
ployes of all legal liability' or punish
ment, but continues the. statutory lia
bility against ther railroad or other
employing companies.
The object is to remove all impedi
ment for an employe to sue an employ
er for damage for injuries sustained
when working overtime in violation of
the statutory limitations. Some of the
few who cared to light the measure
asked what had become of the "safety
of fhetraveling public" argument,

The verdict" was rendered' shortly af

after the jury had deliberated since
shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday at- '.

stood , against the other eleven all
night, coming over, to the side of con
viction. Oh the very first, ballot yes
terday afternoon the; stood nine -.
ioy - conviction it is' understood. On
the second ballot those standing for
conviction had been increased to ten
and on about the sixth to eleven.
It stood eleven to -one all night and
this morning the twelfth agreed to a
-verdict of murder -in the firs degree,
tnat being the only verdict, save not
guilty, admissible .under the cfrcum-
stances. So It was this verdict the
jury returned, and which undoubtedly
is justified by the- evidence in the
case. The testimony was circum
stantial; but was viewed as tho
-strongest type of this class of evi
dence, and few there were, who fol
lowed the testimony,, who did not
believe that a .verdict Of guilty should
be returned based on the evidence.
Holly received .the iVeVdict without

commanded by the court and, of ..v
