When the Superior Court convened at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon George Gray,
Esq, counsel for plaintiff IN the Coe- English
case made the closing argument.
Judge Houston charged the jury that the
judgment obtained against John r. Wilson
as agent of Russell Coe was q Judgment
against Coe and not Wilson, and that sale
under it was not valid. The question for
the jury to determine was whether the
stock In question was the property of Rus.
sci Coe or John r. Wilson. II Wilson was
an agent of Coe the property was construct
lively In the possession OF C0e. If Coe was
the owner he was entitled to q verdict,
while If the property belonged to Wilson
the jury must find for th4 defendant. If
they find for the plaintiff itwas not case
for exemplary damages, as there was no
irregularity about the sale beyond the in.
validity, and the defendant evidently con-
sidered 1t valid, which was fatal error.
The only damages to be laid were for the
value of the stock. The jury must consider
also the conflicting testimony in regard to
the value of the stock.
The case was given to the jury at sos p.
ma, and in little over halt an hour they re-
turned with q verdict of guilty OF trespass
against the defendant add an award of dam
ages of $18l.94 to the plaintiff. The de-
PENDANTS will also be chargeable with the
costs of all the trials Of the case, which are
said to amount to 81 200.
The case of James 7. Veazey VS.. James G.
Williams, an action for trespass, q. c. 4. was
then taken up. William @. Spruance and
Clifford James, Esqs., appeared for the
plaintiff, and j. L. Vallandigham, Esq, for
the defendant.
Mr.. James in opening the case stated TO
the jury that the trespass was forcible
entry, about 1879, of the plaintiff on the de-
fendant's land, plowing It up and cutting
down trees thereon. The dispute was one
of long standing;having begun In 1894 when
the case of JaeQuett, then owner OF the
Veasey property, VS.. Williams, was laid be-
| fore q bt ard of arbitrators which established
the line between them. The alleged tres
pass was violation Of the award Of the ar
bitrators.
Mr.. Spruance presented in evidence a
copy of the survey made by Daniel Farra
under warrant.
Curtis B. Ellison of Pencader hundred,
who was one of the Board Of Arbitrators in
| 1854 was called to the stand and described
the location of the property in Pencader
/ hundred, after which court adjourned until
| this morning.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
/ Selected by the w. @. T. II.


Royalty is coming to an acknowledgment
OF Its duty to assist in checking the spread
of intemperauce. The King of Sweden,
addressing Good Templar assembly re-
Gently, said: "You can rest assured that |
shall do all that can for your order and its
cause" The Prince of Montinezro, short
time since, issued an order closing up all
the drinking places in his dominions. The
Emperor of Japan has appointed commits
sion to consider methods of achieving the
same result, and the Prince of Wales, in
his official capacity of grand master of the
Free Masons, has consented to issue war
rant for a total abstainers' lodge in London,
Says Father Burke, of the Roman Catho-
lie Church: "When God made us He gave
us soul and body together in all the activity
of their powers. The man that annihilates
his own soul for single instant by drunk
enness commits an outrage against the God
that has made him, against the Author Of
his NATURE"
AS the aggressions of slavery fastened its
abolition, so the militant spirit manifested
by the saloons 10 fastening their extinction

FREEMAN ACQUITTED.
Declnrsd 90 be Rot Responsible for u
Murder OF HI; Child.

BARNsTABE, MASS, Dec. 5.--The trial of
Freeman, the Pocasset fanatic, for the muir
der of his little daughter Edith in q relig-
ious frenzy, was opened here to-day in the
Supreme Court. A medical examiner testi-
fed that Freeman explained the position Of
the child at the time he struck her and re-
lated other incidents of the murder. He
gave as his reason for killing the child that
AbrAham's faith had oyerpowered him; that
for monthS he believed God had made .
direct communication TO his children, and
for two weeks believed God had special work
for him TO do. He found that the proof of
faith was the sacrifice Of his younger child.
Witness did not think that Freeman, at the
time of the murder, was responsible.
Alvin Wing testified that he had known
Freeman twenty years. He saw him the
day following the murder. At that time
Freeman dwelt upon the Bible before some
twenty-five of his neighbors, and informed
them that Edith was dead In an adjoining
room, but that she would rise the third day.
Freenan's feelings towards the child was
affectionate, more so than toward the other
children. Freeman's counsel, Mr.. Tabor,
then presented the defense, informing the
jury that Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman would give
their ideas as they existed at the time of the
murder and at present
The witnesses for the defense were called.
The substance of their testimony was to the
effect that Freeman was affectionate to his
children, and interested In Bible studies
and that he allowed his religious devotion to
interfer with his business.
Mrs. Freeman, wife OF the prisoner, testi.
fed as to her husbands temperate and affec-
tionate character. He was tunstruck in
1876, but was not confined to his bed. He
was devoted to Christianity, his devotion
increasing year by year until 1t conhIcted
with his business. His nervous system was
very much weakened and in the end he
slept but little. He attended prayer meeting
on the night before the murder and said he
had three visions; they affected him greatly.
He told the witness that God had required
something of him. She saw him, hours
previous to the murder, walking the floor
with his child and weeping. Witness feel
ings were the same as her husbands at the
time of the tragedy, but presently entirely
changed.
DIR. Folsom, an expert medical examiner
of Boston, testified that he examined Free.

the jury retired and soon returned with a
verdict of not guilty, by reason of insanity
Chief Justice Norton then ordered that Free.

The sneak Thief,s Lying Excuse.

Morning News, to-day.l
The Wilmington GAZETTE perhaps is en-
titled to an explanation of some business
letters from this office which not unnatur-
ally have fallen iuto its hands. Last Satur
day it was reported from the GAZETTE COM
posing room that the Sheriff had closed the
establishment. One of our clerks, who is
regularly attached to our counting-room,
whose name begins with II, and who is not
Mr.. Hopes, was instructed, upon the pre-
sumption that this report was true, to write
to some of the adver tisers in the GAZETTE
upon the theory that they might be glad to
know that our columns were open to their
use If they so desired. After the clerk
had made a beginning he suggested
that the report about the GAZETTE
be mentioned, and Mr.. Hopes assented.
The clerk gave the report as simple fact,
whereas he should have qualified it as an
aJ parently well-authenticated rumor. On
Monday Mr.. Hopes visited the GAZETTE
office for further veriflcation, but did not
find the responsible men in. As soon as the
GAZETTE appeared on Monday he acted on
that evidence, Mr.. Hopes himself sitting
down at once and writing to several gentle
men, from whom replies had been received,
that this journal would not accept business
offered under a false impression, that the
GAZETTE had "obtained new lease of life, u
and that 1t was foi them to determine whai
they would do. Mr.. Hopes has sent fol
some of these letters OF explanation, and the
GAZETTE is welcome to copies If 1t detires tc
publish them.

The o,DoNNELL JURY.
A Statement by One of Its Members About
the Verdict


LONDON, Dec. 5.-ODonnell's counsel
have not yet given up all hope. Solicitor
Guy who was prominently active foi the de-
Tense during the trial, continues his efforts
10 save the life of the condemned man.
He, to-day, made a canvass of all the
jurors and asked each one to sign petition
10 the Grown for a reprieve. The majority,
however, refused to sign the document,
taking the ground that they had arrived
at the verdict after the most careful exami-
nation of the evidence, aud that tDey had
the technicalities Of the Law fully expllinei
to them by the presiding judge.
JURORS STATEMENT.
One Juror told Mr. Guy that his sympa-
thes throughout the trial were with the
prisoner, but, when 1t came TO rendering q
verdict on the absolute merits of
the case, as shown by the evidence,
there was no gctuJg away from
u verdict Of guilty. He taid that
the sentimental side of the story was
entirely ignored in the jury-room, and
that all the members treated the killing as
an ordinary case of murder. They could
take no cognizanee of the causes which
prompted 0'Donnell, and they were not
allowed to go away from the evidence
There were no extenuating circumstances,
except in patriotic ones, and it was ridicu-
lous to suppose that any Epglishman, as
the juror joeularly remarked, would allow
himself to be Influenced in any direction
which did not uphold his own Government.

A False Charge.

On Tuesday last, Robert Hutton, the
well known plumber, No. 119 King street,
was taken before the Municipal Court
charged with having stolen watch from a
drunken man who had been to Carroll's
saloon on Water street. After waiting at
court for some time for the man who had
made the charge to appear, Judge Cummins
dismissed the case saying he did not think
Mr.. Hutton would be guilty of such an act,
and those of our citizens who know him
coincide with the Judge. Mr.. Hutton has
no knowledge In reference to the watch as
he had never been in the company of the
man who charged him with the theft.
