Before a packed court room in California, a jury of 10 men and two women returned a verdict of guilty of first degree murder in the case of Harry French, 27, slayer of Claude L. McCracken, former news editor of the Price French allegedly entered McCrackens home in Alturas on the night of March 25 and fired five bullets into Price man, the body of the one-tiwho was eating dinner with his housekeeper and an employe at the time of the shooting. Rivalry between McCracken, who published a mimeographed paper in Alturas, and Mr. and Mrs. Bard French, pioneer Alturas newspaper publishers and parents of the slayer, was responsible for the shooting The verdict found French guilty as charged in the information and no recommendation for leniency was made, which is presumed to mean the death penalty unless a hearing this week determines that French was not guilty by reason of insanity. Before the jury was locked up, they asked to see the pictures of McCrackens body, taken after his death and imshowing the bullet wounds. What have pression these pictures may on the minds of the jury as they went into secret session for an struggle to obtain a verdict, may never be known. The defense may have brought this last request on themselves when they previously tried to infer that McCracken did not die from the five bullet wounds but from the operation performed by the doctors in trying to save his life. The judge instructed the jury before they went out that they might return 'any one of five verdicts, First degree murder, first de with recommendation murder gree for leniency, second degree murder, not guilty. manslaughter and . On Thursday, the final day of taking testimony, the Alturas postmaster was called to testify concerning McCrackens sending alleged obscene letters through the mail to the defendants mother. His testimony was not permitted, however, because Mrs. French had brought up the matter of the obscene letters only after McCrackens wife, formerly a nurse at the Price hospital, admitted on the stand that she knew of two of the letters but denied knowledge of the phone calls. She said she had asked her husband not to pay any attention to the petty squabbles with the French family. R. A. (Bard) French, father of the Al-tur- as, News-Advoca- te. defendant, told on the stand that his wife had hidden the obscene letters from him because I told her if he ever wrote another like that, hed never live to write any more! Aunts and uncles of the family, called on the stand, told how they had seen letters which Mrs. French lly were hurt or in trouble, saw her frightened the time McCracken is al-- 1 leged to have fired five shots over her head and then laughed at her discomfiture. Ironically it was five shots that were responsible, last March, for McCrackens demise. Defense attorneys charged that McCracken would not have died of the five bullet wounds if the doctors had not attempted to operate, but had allowed nature to take its own course. As attorneys went into their eleventh hour summaries, Harry French, the accused, set unconcernedly watching the proceedings, his son Bobby sitting on his lap, hugely enjoying himself at the queer antics of the grown up folks who crowded the Modoc county court room, intent on the frnl of the trial. two-year-- had since either destroyed or mislaid, claimed they had see her pale with fright after receiving anonymous telephone calls that some of her fam- - a tudebakers low price ta; means all-nig- ht to-w- NOTICE OF INTENTION -- MOVING-PACKIN- 19.
