HYDE CONVICTED
Hyde, who murdered Murray at Dubuque some few weeks since has
been tried and convicted. He was a young man 20 years of age, and

his fate be a warning to those who indulge in its use,-remember

trial, indifferent to his fate, but when the verdict was
pronounced, which consigned him to the gallows, he is said to
have wept bitterly.
