Sentence of an Aged Murderer.
     WOOSTER, O., Jan. 12 - The most exciting trial that has been before the Common Pleas Court of this community for twenty years has terminated, after a week's investigation.  Valentine Seib, aged 63 years, a resident of this city, was under indictment for murder in the second degree, the alleged crime being that on the 23d of August last he shot and killed one George Livingston, also an old resident of this county, well advanced in years.  The jury, after ten hours deliberation, found the accused guilty of manslaughter, and that the murder was committed without criminal intent, while the accused was in the commission of an unlawful act, namely: endeavoring to frighten the murdered man from prisoner's premises with a loaded revolver.  Judge Reed last evening sentenced Leib to two years imprisonment in the Penitentiary.

Trial of Valentine Seib.
     WOOSTER, O., Jan. 12 - The most exciting trial that has been before the Comon Pleas Court of this county for many years has terminated after a full week's investigation.  The case was that of the State of Ohio against Valentine Seib, aged sixty-three years, and old resident of this city, and who has reared a respectable family of sons and daughters.  Seib was indicted for murder in the first degree, the alleged Crime being that on the 213d of August last he shot and killed George Livingston, also an old citizen of the city, well advanced in years.  The jury, after ten hours' deliberation, found the accused guilty of manslaughter, that the murder was committed without criminal intent while the accused was in the commission of an unlawful act, namely, endeavoring to frighten the murdered man away from the prisoner's premises by the undextrous use of a loaded revolver.  Judge Reed, presiding this evening sentenced Seib to two years in the penitentiary.  The sentence was for a less period than many had conjectured, and was received by the prisoner with marked emotions of sorrow.  In all probability it will be to him imprisonment for life.
