to her feet, clapping her hands.
while tears streamed down her
cheeks, and other ladies in the
Courtroom were silent weeping
S, w. Dorsey aud Brady received
warm congratulations, and as they
left the Courtroom were greeted
with cheers by the crowd in front Of
the City Hall.
Judge Wylie with few words
discharged the jury. In the ante
rooms and halls the jury was met
by throng Of interested persons,
prominent among them being the
defendants and Mrs. S. w. Dorsey
and Mrs Peck, who thanked them
for their verdict, with tears in
their eyes.
The foreman stated to repre-
sentative of the Associated Press
that five ballots were taken by the
jury. The first ballot was upon
the question Of the existence of
conspiracy, and the ballot resulted
in 8 for to 9 against conspiracy. On
the second ballot the 9 was in
creased to 10, although the vote
was then upon the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendants. This
vote remained unchanged until
8 o'clock this morning when an
acquittal was agreed upon.

The Curse Of &.uiteau.
CHICAGO, June lathe Tribune
Washington says: The fact that
Michael Shehan, one of the Gui
team jurors, has gone insane, has
suggested to one Of the Washing
ton papers that Guiteau's prophesy
that evil would befall all those con-
nected with his conviction, is COM
ing true. Shehan's relatives state
that the frequent maledictions of
Guiteau, during the trial. upon
who should find him guilty, have
haunted Shehan for months, and
have lately kept him awake Of
nights. A local writer suggests
the following Incidents which have
occurred in the way of the fulfill
ment of Guiteau's curse: The
death of District Attorney Cork
hills wife was the first event which
could be called a fulfllment of
Guiteau's prophesy. Juror HOBBS
wife died /; Surgeon General Barns,
an important with. So, died /; Judge

ton in connection with his admin
istration of Wards Island. New
York Officer Pat Kearney's re-
moval from the Baltimore and Po-
tomac depot was only a temporary
misfortune, but was thought at one
time to number among those Of the
fu tillment of the curse. Poor
Mike Sheahan was well known and
