JUDGE DIRECTS THE JURY
POSTAL CLERK FOSTER &C
Quilted OF ROBBERY.

The Court Directs n Verdict OF Not
GuiIty-LIvely Tilt Between Judge
Speer and the District AttOrney-Ths
Postal Inspectors Disappointed at the
Result of the Trial and Blame the Wit
nesses.
The II. z. Foster case came to very
sudden and unexpected close yesterday,
in the United States Court.
Several witnesses were examined, all
being for the prosecution. Snelson, the
colored postal railway clerk, who delivered
registered letter No. 70, TO Foster at way
cross, August %, was very positive IN re-
gard 10 certain parts Of his evidence. he
testified infinitely, TO the entries on that
particular letter. and remem bered what
was written in ink, and what with PEN
Gil
Foster stated for himself that he did not
know what became of the letter. de de-
MED having stolen it, and thought II
probable that he mad lost il. Tyson, the
c0lOred messenger who received the reg
lstered mail at the railroad depot in sa-
Vanneh, swOre that he received only %
registered letters from Foster on Aug. p
As Foster exhibited a receipt for that
particular letter. and the evidence Of "
son and Rowland, Of the post Office, was
not clear on some points 1t appeared 10
Judge Speer that the government was not
making strong case.
Postal Inspector Dasser, Of Chatta-
nOoga, was put on the stand and gave the
theory Of the inspectors as TO the case.
They had worked up the case and had
come 20 the conclusion that Foster was
guilty.
After the testimony, which did not bring
out anything OF Importance thai has not
already been published in the NEWS, was
all in District Attorney Darnell addressed
the jury for about twenty minutes. Col.
Atkins, counsel for the prisoner, was
rising TO argue his side Of the case when
the Judge motiOned him 10 sit down.
~ have listsned with some patience"
began his Honor, thinking that perhaps
The district attorney In his argument
might show some fact that escaped me in
the examination. And ] viii say that the
prosecution mas totally failed TO make
case. Mr.. District Attorney, you charge
this man with the theft Of letter, and
you have not proved that the letter was
stolen. Your case is utterly broken
down, and II the jury was to find YER
dict Of guilty against the defendant
would set it aside. II this evidence
would convict man, no man In the postal
service would be safe"
Some words followed between the at
i0rney ana the court, which were only
shade or two removed from personalities.
Under direction Of the Judge the jury
returned a verdict Of not guilty.
The remarks Of the court on the case
rather surprised the jury, one Of whom
was overheard 10 remark, after being dis
charged, that be thought the accused was
guilty. Foster was congratulated by sew
eral Ia the court room upOr his scquittal.
To a reporter he said that he was conf
dent he would have been acquitted had
the case gone to the jury without any
comments from the court.
The postal inspectors expected a con-
yiction, aud laid the failure to the evil
dence Of the witnesses from the saVan-
nah uost Office

Sample Trunks Not Baggage.

Railroad men will be interested
in the following syllabus of the
charge by Judge Sage, of the
United States Circuit Court of Ohio,
in an action to recover the value Of the
contents of a sample trunk, which was
destroyed by fire in a baggage car:
"The term baggage does not include ar
ticles of merchandise intended for sale or
for use as samples, and not designed for
the use Of the passenger. and if the pas
senger has such articles checked and re-
ceived by the carrier as baggage, the car
rier will not be liable for them if lost or
injured, unless it was informed or was
presumed to have known that the articles
were merchandise, or unless it was the
established custom or usage of the defend
ant to receive and transport them as bag
gage. or unless they were lost by the neg
ligence OF the defendant. BUt proof of
the fact that railroad carrier habitually
receives and checks and transports in its
baggage cars trunks known by it TO con-
tain merchandise makes out prined fdcie
proof of custom, and If the carrier relies
upon the fact that it carries them as
freight for hire 1t must establish that fact
by evidence"

Betsey Frasier and Susan Quarterman.
colored, were the plaintiffs in two suits for
81 900 damages each in the City Court yes
terday.
The women charged that on June Q,
1ssj, they were customers in the store OF
Gray 81 O'Brien. Miss Lizzie Wheeler was
IN the store at the same time making pur.
chases. Missing her pocketbook she
asked that a policeman be called and the
women be searched. The plaintiffs also
alleged that Mr. 0'Brien detained them
IN the store until a policeman came, and
then caused them 70 be taken TO the bar
racks where they were searched and kept
for an hour.
Mr.. OBrien, the defendant in the suits.
denied that he made any effort 10 detnin
the women In the store until an officer
could arrive, and that all be did was 10
ask them 10 wait, which they did.
II was shown In evidence shat Miss
Wheeler preferred the charge on which
the women were arrested and searched.
Upon this testimony capt. Mercer, counsel
for the defendant, held that no action
could lie against Mr.. O'Brien. The Jury
returned verdict I'm favor OF the defend.
ant In each case. The plaintiffs were rep.
resented by Mr.. George w. owens.
