Their verdict was John Walsh guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, uh he drew his pistol ou Sheehan, and Roy was found guilty of murder in the second degree. The Judge sentenced John Walsh to 30 days in Jail aud Roy to 8 years in the Penitentiary. The Attorney's for Hoy gave notice that an appeal would be taken in his case The general impression as far as we have been able to get it, is that the verdict was a Just one and the sent ences were light, so it is not certain that an appeal will be taken in Koy's case.
