The verdict that young Wilcox was guilty of the murder of Miss Nellie Cropsey seems to have mot popular approval though it was not considered probable early yes terday that the jury would so report.

He will seek to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was not consistent with the evidence brought out in the trial. There is little prospect of the prisoner paying the death penolty on the date set by Judge Jones. WOUIJ) S;tlA:<IJ THE c id :> If members of the 'llav Kever Association" would u.-el)r.
