The Chicago Custom House.
CHICAGO, June 9th.-In the Gus
tom house construction cases to-day
Judge Dyer occupied three hours
in delivering his charge to the jury.
He reviewed the evidence as Of
fered, and the authorities referred
to, relating to conspiracy to de-
fraud. Soon after 8 o'clock the
jury entered the court room with a
verdict of acquittal of all accused.
1t would seem that as all of the
points charged in the indictment Of
fraud upon the Government, to the
extent of over 100000, was not
disputed, the jury accepted the
theory of the defense, that the re-
sponsibility rested not upon the
officials, nor upon the contractors,
but upon the hundreds of laborers
employed on the work. This was
the theory set up by Assistant.
Secretary French, in extenuation
and apology upon the preliminary
report made by the Gouernme
officers here. Chicago has for q
public building a pile OF rotten
stone, and the feeling is not one of
congratulation.
onnrmatisn Of Mc Crazy Doubtfui.
| CHICAGO. June 9th.-The Jour-
MATS Washington special says: The
Washington Post, the Democratic
organ, says this morning that Mo-
Crazy is doomed. He will never get
the endorsement of the Democratic
Senate to his appointment to the
Federal bench. This furnishes no
reason, however, why he should
resign his present position out of
spite.

MILWAUKEE,, June 9th.-Reports
