How tho Berner Verdict Was Oh.

ST. LOUIS, April 81. A. Phillips,

Berner case at Cincinnati, and who has
been stopping in this city since Monday
night, was interviewed today. He do

followed the testimony closely, listened
to the arguments and made up my
mind without regard to public senti-
ment. was firmly Of the belief that
the State had not proved case ofmur-
der in the first degree against Berner.
My belief was, and IL now, that Berner
was lead into the commission OF the
crime by the negro Farmer, by threats.
When we entered the jury-room
vote was taken as to the guilt or limo
cence of I,erner. To show how the jury
felt need only say that seven OF the
twelve voted not guilty. then stated
that Berner should be sentenced for
life, but the threat was made that we
would be kept out for thirty-three days
if necessary to reach an agreement, and
when thought Of my neglected bust
ness interest and of my family whom
had not seen at least for fifteen days,
I felt sorely tempted to yield the
point. After the first ballot the vote
stood eleven for Inanslauehter and one
for m lrder in the second degree, and
after thirty-six hours Of balloting !
yielded, thinking that perhaps eleven
heads were better than one, and the
verdict of manslaughter returned. Con.
the manner in which the jurors
were treated, | cannot say that blame
them for the verdict they returned.

All Quiet in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, April 3.-There is nc
change in the situation about the court
house and Jail, except that the crowd Of
sightseers become greater during the
afternoon and much more friendly feel
ing was manifested toward the military
on guard around these buildings. The
soldiers, until today, have been very
careful not to venture upon the streets
in uniform, and even today, in some
quarters, their presence would he likely
to cause bad feeling. Thegreat mass Of
citizens condemn the hostility to the
militia as class, because of the mis-.
take made by few.
The death of Leo Vogelgesang, OF
Columbus, makes total Of fl fly deaths
by the riot. Further details which have
been discovered in relation to the death
of Captain Desmond tend to show that
his killing was not n deliberate murder,
but that he met his death by shot fired
at the troops without being aimed direct
at any one. 1t was dark at the place
where he was killed and his death was
not known for some time to his own
command.

CaDtaln Kidd.

OF captain Kidd, with whom Lord
Byron sailed to Lisbon,in 1909, he used
to mention strange story 1.-The
officer stated, that being asleep one
night in his berth, he was awakened
by the pressure of something heavy on
his limbs, and, there being faint
light in the room, could See, AZ he
thought, distinctly the figure OF his
brother, who was at the time i'll the
naval service in the East Indies, dress
ed in his uniform, and stretched across
the bed. Concluding it to be an illusion
of the senses, he shut hls eyes and
made an effort to sleeep but still the
same pressure continued, and still, as
often as he ventured to take another
look, he saw the figure lying across him
in the same position. To add to the
wonder, on putting his hand forth to
touch this form, he found the uniform,
in which it appeared to he dressed,
dripping wet. On the entrance OF one
of his brother officers, to whom he call
cd out in alarm, the apparition vanish
ed but in a few months after he
received the startling intelligence that
on that night his brother had been
drOw ned in the Indian seas. Or the
supernatural character of this appear
ance, Captain Kidd himself did not ap-
