Phelon, Frank - In June, 1886 a prosecution was commenced against David
A. Burnes for the murder of Frank Phelon.  The case was continued from
time to time until August 19, 1887, when the prisoner, having been
apprehended, was arraigned for trial and plead "not guilty."  Out of
forty men summoned for the purpose, a jury of twelve was impaneled, 
before whom the prisoner was tried, and by whom the following verdict
was rendered: "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the
second degree, and assess his punishment at imprisonment in the State
Penitentiary during his natural life."
