Tho prisoner identified the pistol, and the Corone: then gave a short charge to tho jury.

Mr. Conkling resumed his scat with his couti ael, aud at 5:45 p. m. the jurors retired tYhilo tiny were out, little knots of men stoot about the room in animated group*, discussing thc merits of tho case. The prevalent opinion seemor to be that the verdict would be ono of justifiable bomicido, and surprise was mauifosted that thc jury did not si agree without leaving the box. Al ??.:K>, the whistler went around that "they were coming up, and there vron a rush for tho front ; OW as tim twelve mon tiled into then Keats, the crowd fell into silence without an injnuo u I, and waited for tho verdict. "Gentlemen, Have you agreed upon a verdict f'said tho ( nioner, "Wo have,'* replied tbs foreman.

The Coroner replied that 8 jury had only to determine the manner in winch, and by Whoas, death was broaght about, and that this verdict fully covered these points. Then In added: "I have come to the conclusion, after ii careful consideration of the verdict, that I mus! hold the prisoner to await the further action of tho criminal couria I must leave ii to a higher tri? bunal to decide as to the effect of the recommenda tiou of the jury with regard to tho provocation.' THK QfEHTION OF TAKING BAIL. Mr. Howe then appealed to tho Coroner to release the prisoner on bail, lt was a case that permitted it, he said, and the sentiment of thc community would approve the action. The Coroner, however, refused the request, saying that ho intended to ad hero strictly to tbs law, and that Mr. Howe would find lils remedy in an appeal to a higher court. MaaliBBlsa tho prisoner would stand re? manded to the City Prison. The Coroner then ordered Mr. Conkliug to stand up and waa proceed? ing to put to him tho customary quostions whon Mr. Howe interrupted. " I advise you not to open your head," he said to his client. Then turning to lue Coroner Mr. Howe said: "Since you admit your inability to grant bail I instruct tay client to ral sta to aaswer any <iiie?tii>iis. Tins wbote business is a tarro." The outburst iff applause which followed tins remark showed clearly willi whom the sympathy of the spsctaton was. When the jury entered tim court, Conkling per? mitted his eyes in scuu them for a moment; wea lie lixod his gaae upon tho Coroner.
