SING SINGS Ex.MIYoR Not GUILTY.

ALL THE WITNESSES AGREE THAT HE sWORE.
An assortment of pine plank sustained at each end
by sundry cracker and soap boxes furnished seats yes
terdny IN Judge William c. Howes courtroom at Sing
Sing for motley gathering of idle Sing Sing people
who were quietly saturang the II rec inches of
dust that covered the floor with tobacco juice. while
they waited for the Court to call the case of" The
People against ex-Mayor u. Gcdney Iompkins for
swearing on the public Streets Smith Lent appeared
for the people and William G. Valentine for the de-
fence.
Mr. Lent said that IL had been commended on eminent
authority that there was only real hebitudlnous
crank IN the world, but that Sing Sing could boast
another in the person the Mayor and that when
he was in his greatest state of hebudinosy he was
wont to indulge In language so pyrotechnlo a. to
awaken the whole town. One of these moods struck
him ON jane o. and he INDUCED in n strain of language
at Constable William Green 50 strong and fiery that
the most dsrcpuabc dcnZen of Sheo would have been
abashed thereby. He called several witnesses who
related the circumstances attending Mr.. iOnpklns
outburst of profanity substantially as already made
public, and gave additional testimony about his proiane
habits generally. Constable Green, who made the
arrest told how while Mr.. Iompkins was engaged IN
w0rdy and protane alteration. he l'treenl had al
dressed remark TO him and Mr. TomDkins replied
with torrent of oaths. What's that you sayF
yelled Green IN run you in for using cuss words on
the streets" With this Green grabbed eX-Mayor
TOmpkins. but Tompkins resisted and they had
scnnle but Green got the best oil II. When the tN-
Mayor took the stand for the defence, he admitted that
the story of the affair already told was true. Four
witnesses corroborated this statement.
Judge Howe charged the jury briefly In hVe
minutes they returned with verdict OF not guilty III
spite of the fact that the witnesses both sides
agreed in their statements about the case AS the
crowd slowly moved down stairs one said to another,
Blank 1t, swearing is legalized in Sing Sing"
