The Cincinnati Tragedy.


CINCINNATI, Dec. 2-Frank Frayne was before
The police court this morning, on a charge or man.
slaughter for shooting Annie Won Behren, at the
Coliseum theater, at the Thank sgtving matinee.
He appeared quite calm at the beginning, but as
testimony proceeded he was restless, and at times
deeply affected. The prosecution offered the tes-
timony OF Sergeant Benninger, who saw the shot,
ana who arrested Frayne, and OF Mr. Bean, a
member or the company, who explained tie cause
OF the accident. He said the thread OF the screw
that holds tie spring catch was worn or torn Of,
and the screw was blown out OF the gun. The
catch loosing its hold permitted the gun barrel
drop, and that sent the bullet below Its aim. Mr..
Frayne's breast and neck were burned and black
ened by the powder escaping from the breech OF
the gun. The prosecution here rested.
Counsel for Frayne claimed that the statute did
not apply. as the gun was not pointed at the de.
ceased, but at an apple six inches above ner head.
He suggested also that Frayne had already
suffered the worst that could happen to anyone.
Judge Higley said the testimony clearly showed
that there was not the slightest criminal intent
and that the prisoner should be discharged. This
announcement was greeted with emphatic ap-
plause
