Trial of Barney McGinn

The trial of Barney McGinn for the murder of Ed McKenna on the 29th of last 
July has been concluded at Omaha, the jury finding McGinn guilty of murder in 
the first degree, but fixing no penalty. According to a law passed in Nebraska 
last April the jury must fix the punishment of a person convicted of murder in 
the first degree at hanging or imprisonment for life. There is a difference of 
opinion as to the exact time this law went into effect and the Supreme Court 
will be called to decide the question, upon which depends the life of the 
prisoner. McKenna was wellknown here.
