GEORGE DELANEY CONVICTED 
Morganfield, Ky. March 23 

The jury in the Delaney murder trial returned a verdict today giving 
the defendant six years in the penitentiary.  Judge Ellis' instructions 
were generally regarded as favorable to conviction.  Public sentiment 
is with Delaney, the belief being that Henry Delaney was the real 
culprit, and an effort will likely be made for a new trial.    The cases 
have been expensive to the state.  Two of the parties implicated are 
at Eddyville serving their terms.  One has finished his term and is now 
at home.  George Delaney and Will Omer have both been convicted 
at former trials and their cases remanded.  Henry Delaney has been 
acquitted.  Tate has never been tried.  George Delaney at the
former trial received a life sentence and Omer a twenty one sentence.
