The trial of james b. Glent,rorth for ppe-la
in 1889 commenced Wednesday last, and was
brought to a close last evening. The prosecution was
ably conducted by the District Attorney, James r
Waiting Esq, and the defence not less ably by Da-
rid Graham and James S. Smith, Esqs. The utmost
fairness ond courtesy prevailed throughout; and be-
eve not single exception taken to the decisions
of the Judges the various points of law incidentally
presented The utmost latitude of investigation was
allowed, and every thing brought out that six months
anxious scrutiny could discover. The evidence closed
on Friday night; the argument commenced at 10 A.
NJ, on Saturday, and closed at Ia TO P. M. Hon.
+. A. Taiimodge, Recorder, then charged the Jury
very clearly and impartiay, but briefly in exposition
of the law and the facts the Jury retired g. and
back at haf-past IL with declaration that they
could not possibly agree; and the term ofthe Court
expired by limitation at ~ the Recorder had no alter
native but to discharge them. So there is no verdict
regards Glentworth
But there is yerdict-a clear, unequivoca unani-
one, from that great tribunal, the Public with
respect to the gentlemen TO be IMPLICATED by Steven
son. if Glenworh in the alleged inquitous practi-
of the latter. Not line or letter Of testimony
was elected duplicating them in any such practices,
and the District Attorney himself unequivocally alb
solved them from all suspicion. Never there an
acquittal more triumphant and complete know that
there had never been the least concert between them
and the Counsel for,the defence, or array them with
each other; but each of them appeared the stand
and gave SO clear, so plain, full refutation of
Sevenson's stories that they utterly overthrown
BY the way, among the myriads Of falsehoods with
which The Globe has teemed this subject l have
remarked point blank assertion that Mr.. Whiting
the District Attorney isl Wing. He never voted nor
thought of voting Wing ticket in his ie-was elect
ed and reelected by Van Buren, votes and in his
opening speech this trial abroed the Wing party,
and boosted that the party to which he belonged had
never been engaged in any suci frauds as these His
thorough exculpaon, therefore, of the leading Wings,
implicated by Stevenson and Glentwoath must be
deemed conclusive.
Our National Theatre was burned down yesterday
morning, with the brohel of the notorious Julia
Brown standing in the ofit. One of the misera
BILE inmates of the latter-Nargaret Yagher by name
- crushed and scorched TO death Itappears that
she left the House of her parents in Philadelphia
ly eight days before! The loss by the destruction of
the Theatre must be some 600 No Insurance.
1t will never be rebuilt The fire was doubtless the
work of an incendary as the Theatre had been on
fire the preceding night, and in custody on
suspicion of kindling it. Il was burnt down only two
years ago. The French Protestant Church was
scorched but not much injured.
Among the distinguished strangers in town are Hon.
John C. Spencer, Secretary of State, and Hon. John
A. Collier, Comptroller of the Finances
