Clarewte Hurlibut, 29, of Zion City, Thursday night was found guilty of the murder of C. B. Dicks Jr., 22, member oz a prominent Lake Vilia family, the jury fixing the sentence at 30 years in the penitentiary. Hur}k but claimed the stabbing of Dicks was justifiable on the contention that he did it to protect the homnor of Mrs,. Adeline Farnik of Zion who had been his companion for several years ~since she and hber busband became estranged. PLANNED TO WED HURLBUT The woman over whom Huribut and Dicks fought, said she had plahned to get a divorce from Fai nik and marry Huribut as soon as the trial was over. She will have to put off the wedding 30 years now, upless Hurlibut succeeds in ob taining a new trial, motion for which was made by Atty. George W. Field immediately cafter the verdict was returned. MURDER IS VERDICT IN HURLBUT CASE; GETS 30 YEARS Zion Man Who Killed C. B. Dicks, Jr., 'Over Woman, Given Drastic Punishment. The verdict and penalty . was a surprise, as it was generally believ ed a manslaughter verdict probably would be returned. Even States At: torney Smith appeared to be sur-- prised over the result. He had not pleaded for a death sentence, and it was indicated that both the pros ecution anq the defense were ol the opinion thait the verdict woulid be man#glaughter. The -- most -- damaging _ evidence against Hurlbut was the testimony of Mrs. Farnik. She made three statements to the prsecution before the cease went :o trial Then she was placed on the stand as a court witness, the court asking her a number of 'questions. This gave the 'state the opportunity to cross ex-- amine-- her. s VICTIM'S MOTHER «COLLAPSES Mrs. C. B. Dicks, mother of the viectim, -- became _ hysterical . while States Attorney Smith was making his closing arguments. "Oh, my boy! Oh, my boy!" she | sobbed, wringing--ber hands. ' J. D. Doyle, court bailiff, and her husband led her from the court room to an anteroom where she was revived. Mrs. Dicks returned just before the verdict was returned but she was not in the court room when It was read. As L. J. Wilmot read the verdict Mrs. Farnik began to sob, but when she looked at Hurl; but, who stared biankly at the 12 jurors standing in front of him, she choked back her emotions. TO FIGHT FOR NEW® TRIAL Atty. Field demanded a poll of the jury, a rather unusual request in the local courts. When each juror re-- affirmed the verdict, Atty. Field en-- affirmed the verdict,, Atty. Field en-- tered the motion {for a new . trial. The date for lrzuing the motion was not set, but probably will be Sat-- urday, to which date court was ad-- Journed. Huribut, on the night of last, stibbed Dicks. He said he found Dicks attacking Mrs. Farnik at Channe} lake. But there were two stories about this attack. One was Athat it was an in-- cident of a revel in which there had been abundant liquor. The other was that Dicks was an intruder and filit the girl was crying for help when her fiance struck with the knife. The jury was out three hours. Six of the jurors later vizited the county jail and when Huribut saw them he began cursing. ° Sheriff Ahb}-- strom intervened and ordered Huri-- but to stop. Huribut believed he would be ac-- quitted and wrote long letters to relatives that he would be home to eat dinner with his family by last Sat-- urday. His mother was in court when the verdict 'was read.. For several minutes she sat as if turned to stone, her face ashen white. A low moan escaped her lips. As the officers led Hurlbut away his mother tottered down the steps. * The father of Dicks, whose hair has turned white, and who appeared to have aged> 15 years since the trag-- edy, left the courtroom, supporting his wife, clad in mourning.
