E. Moore was found guilty ef robbery ta the first degree ta Recorder Gaffs eourt at o'clock last night. The Jury that decided bis second trial took two hours and forty-three" minutes to arrive at decision. The Verdict waa accompanied by a recommendation for mercy, which was asked for bees use one' Juror had stood oat for acquittal for two hours before the final verdict wa reached. The well groomed prisoner heard th ver dict with a shudder and a start, and crim son blushes covered his 'pale cheeks.

His chief attorney. Abraham Levy, was aot present, but George Bimpeon of Mr. Levy's firm, laid a kindly hand on the convicted man's arm, while he aaked that the Jury be polled. Thla sombre proceeding only pro longed the agony, aa each Juror answered "I did" when asked If he had voted for conviction. Moore hardly realised that he had been convicted until the Clerk of the Court began to ask him the statute questions regarding els private life.

He answered with seme reluctance, hut a word from the police. Suietly whispered In his ear. made him un-erstand that he must do as he was directed. He said that his name waa William A. EL Moore; that be was born ta Cleveland.

Assistant District Attorney McTntyr ibea reouested the Court to pass sentence, but Mr. Simpson objected, and asked that sentence be deferred until the last day ef the term of the court.

Recorder Ooff said be could not do that, but. owing te the absence of Mr. Levy, be would remand the prisoner until Monday morning next, when he would consider the matter. The maxi mum penalty for robbery in the first degree is twenty years. Tr.en Moore was taken back lo his tem porary home across the Bridge of Slgha.

and as ha left the court be cast a scornful glance at Mr. Mclnryre. He had nothing to say, be announced later, absolutely nothing. It was an outrage. was his only expression.

The day bad been an interesting one ta court. It marked the first time since his election that District Attorney Gardlaer bad taken aa active part In any ease. He addressed the Jury for the proetcuUon. Hie words were plain, simple, logical, and severe. He did not even attempt to abuse the prisoner.

He simply said: This badger game is an oio. old practice. it eacee back to the days of Queen Mac and It Is ahoat time that it was wiped from the face of the earth. It cannot exist any longer In thla fair city, and as long as I am District Attorney every effort will be saaee to wipe If out." Then he told at tetieth the storv or the affair' at the Grenobie, and recKed every minute detail of the robbery. He said that the testimony ef Martin Mahon jras reli able and rorroboeafive.

end was su me lest to convict tae prisoner. Mr. osroirver maoe the address at the request of Mr. Mclntyre, and many of his legal friends were present te hear hire. Mr.

Levy's summing ud wss masterly and forcible. He raked Martin Mahon over the coals and pointed him out as a base and deceiving man. nent on oestroring tne homes of good men. All be aaked for at the hands of the Jury, he said, was fair Ameri can Justice. The Moore ease is not over yet.

Tne most Interesting part is yet to come, for on Monday next Mrs. Fayne Moore win appear for trial on a charge similar to that on which her husband was convicted, 8 he will be defended by Benjamin H. HUM. formerly United States District Attorney or Ueorria, who haa been retained by ber mother. Mr.
