How ard. who hoa been on trial (or t lie part ten day* chanted with he In* a principal in th aaraaiinatlon of William Goebel, was found Tfulhy to-day, the Jury fixing hla punlahment at death. The fact that the Jury hail deliberated all bf yaaterday afternoon without reach ing a verdict led to the belief that It was tiopeteoaly divided, and this fact made the verdict a a nock to Howard and thoae who hoped for hi* ultimate acquittal. Howard ttid not loro hlr composure when the verdict calling for Ihe extreme penalty of the law war read In the crowded court t'flm He glanced at hla attorneys, who rat beside him, and smiled and said noth ing. After the Jury had been discharged How ard waa taken back to Ihe. Jail and here for the first time he betrayed emotion. He railed for a pen anti paper and wrote a long letter to hla wife, during which tears counted down his cheeks. He war Joined later by his attorneys, who spent a good part of the day in conference with him in regard to the motion for anew trial, which will be filed to-morrow, and other matters in eonneciion with the case. Caltnn Released on Hail. W. H.

His bond was fixed at flO.nou and his brother in-lnw. E. E. Hogg of Owaley county, and 3. P. Halcomb and John Johnson of Jack son county became his sureties. Howard's Krienda Are Hitter. Howard and his friends are very bluer in their denunciation of wltnesees, who, it Is charged, were In Ihe conspiracy to munler Ooeiiel, and who have since been manufacturing testimony against othi rs in order to obtain immunity for them selves. "Jim” Howard, as he ia commonly Known in the mountains. Is a strikingly hiUMisome man. 44 years of age. ami would he one of the last to be pointed out by a -trangter as the man on trial He has the record, howe er, of being the leader of the Howard-White faction in the Baker* Howard feud In Clay rounty. In which numerous lives were taken. He had killed Heorge Baker. and was suspected of the sssaaslnulion of Tom Maker, who was kiled after the same fashion as the Goe lel murder, and Howard's friends believe that these facts had very much to do with the making of the verJict sentencing him to the gallows.
