(Coniiued from first page) Sheriff Burns of San Pete county testified, tes-tified, yesterday, In the Nielson uurdt-r case. He had not been in Price ou the 11th of July, 1891, the time Nielsen testified his partner had seen Burns iu the store. This closed the testimony. Assistant JliStrlct Attorury Ziue made the opening argument. Ila called the attention of the jury to the fact that the eivdence was circumstantial; but of such a character as to leave no doab about Nielson being guilty of the murder of Buchaunan. lie reviewed evidence that Nielson had given, and which was contridicted by his former statement and by circumstances of the case. II . C. Edwards followed far the defense. ATlor dwelling upon the responsible res-ponsible position occupied by the jurors and the great care that should be exercised exer-cised lest an innocent man should be condemned, he reviewed the testimony of the defendant who had told a straight story and was not proven to have an. I connection with the commission of thtl crime. Testimony of the prosecution that appeared faulty to counsel, was! carefully pointed out and criticised at great length; reasonable doubts arising from the testimony, the benefits of which should be given to the prisoner, were pointed out. M. M. Warner fol- reviewed the. testimony aud claimed that the evidence was not snmclent to hang a dog on a charge of murder. The admission of the defendant in regard to his forgeries should not and could not influence the jury in their verdict. The-' , defendant paid close attention ;to the arguments: and wore an innocent expression. ex-pression. Tears filled his eyes at time;?, giving him the appearance of some- thing very different from the hardened criminal he is if guilty of the Buchanan Buch-anan murder. The argument in the Nielson case were closed and the case given to the jury, after being out three hours they returned a verdict of murder iu the first degree and recommended imprisonment for life. Daniel Brauanar charged with faoraa stealing was found net guilty. Geo. C. Binder pleaded guilty to assault as-sault and was sentenced to one months Imprisonment. The jury was impanneled iu the case of The People vs. William H. Kelly, iu-dicUd iu-dicUd for an an assault with intent to murder, committed upon the person of Gilbert A. Johnson at Milburn on the 2Sthj day of August, 1891, Assistant A. G. Sutherland defended. Several witnesses were examined aud the case given to the jury. They returned a verdict of assault, Kelly will be sentenced senten-ced today. |
