Fate of Indian Chief May Be KNown in A Few Hours
The fate of Louis Savage, the Indian charged with murder, is now in the hands 
of the Federal Jury. the taking of testimony was completed yesterday afternoon 
and after the arguemnts for prosecution and defense, Judge Bellinger delivered 
his instructions to the jury at 8:30 o'clock last night.
At a late hour there was no prospect of an early verdict. It is thought that 
the finding will either be for murder without capital punishment, or for 
manslaughter.
The demurrer interposed by the defendant's attoreny on MOnday was overrruled.
 The usual trouble with indian witnesses was again met with in yesterday's 
hearing and it was with some embarrasment that UNited States District Attorney 
Hail had to explain to the court that some of the witnesses were unable to 
testify on account of being "disabled"
