Convicted

Alfred Countryman, who, in November last shot Sheriff Taylor at Rockford, 
Winnebago county, was tried last week before the Circuit Court of Winnebago 
Co., Illinois, and was convicted of murder. The act was wholly unprovoked. The 
Register concludes its report of the trial as follows:

The prisoner was then remanded to prison. We could not see that he manifested 
any emotion, and we do not believe that he fully realized the awful position 
in which he was placed.
