Tli*- ilefense contented ltseif with the In

which was not supported by other evi

that his wife was not there, but as ho!

Jackv • asserted that he ho*l been fore I

The arguments were made by the solic

In this manner a telling fioint with the
Jury. The Jury retired after listening
to the charge of Judue Falilgwnt sml In
half an hour, brought in a verdict of
voluntary manslaughter.
Judge Faliigint sentenced Jackson :o

shortly before 2 o'clock It was one of
the ahortest murder trial* that have taken

It Is not probable that there will he
a motion for a new' tn.il. tender the mo**t
favorable view f the case, a verdict of
voluntary ttmnslaughter is about the best
that Jackson or his counsel could have
