Remarkable closing by Detz in Mackey murder trial
Exhorting jurors to convict, Detz praises Ohio authorities and portrays Wiggins and Mrs Snell as chief conspirators in the 1893 Mackey murder plot. He argues Brown and others aided the plan, citing telegrams and insurance ties, urging a verdict of guilty on all counts. The judge adjourned for 1:30 pm to hear the charge.
Jury Delivers Guilty Verdict After Brief Trial
Judge Dowell spent about an hour delivering the charge and the jury retired at 2:30 p m. The verdict of guilty of shooting with intent to kill was announced promptly amid familiar expectations. Smyser immediately moved for a new trial based on trial exceptions as proceedings continued. Mrs Snell's trial, if talked of, will be postponed to the next term with possible transfer to another county.
