SENSATIONAL CLOSE TO A MURDER TRIAL IN
BROOKLYN.

SENSATIONAL CLOSE TO A MURDER TRIAL IN
BROOKLYN.
Last week, i'm Brooklyn, was begun the
trial of Thomas ]. Armstrong, aged 2I years,
charged with killing his stepiather. Albert r.
Herrick, in his home, i'm Pearl street, Brooklyn,
on August 10th last. AT O'Clock Monday
the case was given to the jury, and at II o'clock
last evening the jury re-entered the court room,
after having agreed upon a verdict. As the
twelve men filed into the court room the boy
prisoner sat looking into their faces, while by
his side sat his mother the widow, eagerly wait
ing. yet dreading the disclosure 10 come. She
had upheld her son throughout, and was a CEN
trail figure during the trial. When the foreman
of the jury answered "Not guilty." i'm response
forth from the crowd. which shook the walls
and was heard in the streets. The mother, Mrs.
Herrick, clasped her boy i'm her arms and held
him close, while cheers and wild shouts were
lifted, peal on peal people shook each others
hands, and Rugged both mother and son where
they stood-each I'm the others embrace. The
ring of the judges gavel only punctuated the
cheers of applause and the roar i'm court and
corridors. Justice VIM: Mcmahon, of Grave
shot his father five years ago. and last night,
when the verdict came, Mcmahon swung his
people who are cheering" at length the judge
was heard to shout, and Justice Mcmahon was
among the first seized by the court officers.
Zine them all S2o or twenty-five days In JAIL
shouted the judge. Mcmahon drew a check
book ut once. and while he wrote a check for
his fine he said: II would have paid 500; l
charged and the crowd struggled into the street
cheering all the way and out into the street.
THE TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE
was that Herrick came suddenly upon his STEP
son, who fed, seizing pistol i'm his flight, and
| seeking refuge in the cellar. Thither the step
father followed him, and when there was no
escape the shots were fired. The evidence OF
brutality exercised toward the boy by Herrick
could not be discredited. Herrick asked his
wife to leave out one of the p stols before she
went to the country, and she did SO. Before
she lett she gave her son night key, the first
time he had ever had one On the day of the
homicide Herrick returned home at APO p. m.
and ten minutes later was seen coming from
the basement. He died on the area grating
Armstrong made an alleged confession, and but
for that the people would have been unable 10
prove tLat he even entered the house on that
fatal day. II the confession had not been intro
auced INTO the case the !uage would nave had
prisoner for failure to connect him in any way
with the Of1ense. All through years OF persecu-
ton the boy had never resented Herrick's i'll

in Mt. Zion church, nine miles south OF Tolono.
Every year they have returned In augmented

entire possession of the attic OF the building NJ
fusing to be driven away. Lately they have be-
come so annoying by their continual pecking
away that the minister, in his frantic efforts 10
preach, has repeatedly forgotten his text and
lost the theme of his discourse, while the deacons
have found IL impossible To make a coherent
prayer. The building is an old one, and will be
abandoned by the congregation.
