The Jury Quickly Found Him Not
Guilty of Manslaughter as
Charged.
Michael Nash has been found not
guilty of maHslaughter in the first de-
gree. He WAS indicted for fatally shoot
ing his landlord, j. P. Johnson, at
Nash'S rooms, No. 460 Robert street,
last December. The trial lasted until
after p. m. yesterday. Drs. J. II.
Murphy, Ii. L. HOyt and A. B. Anck er
were called for the state. Mr.. Ives,
counsel for the defense, then moved the
court to direct the jury to return YER
dict of not guilty. This was denied,
and Michael Nash was put upon the
stand. He testified to the assaults
made upon him by the deceased, and
cOrrobOrated the testimony in this
particular of Mrs. McNuIty, the wit
ness for the state. He Admitted the
shooting, but said that Johnson
had made three very hostile visits. had
assaulted him, and that he (Nash) shot
johnson when the latter fOrcibly Ell
tered his rooms and made another
assault upon himself. Witness went
out and looked for a policeman. and
finally concluded to go direct to police
headquarters and give himself ND. His
testimony was borne out by the other
witnesses for the defense. The direct
testimony revealed the fact that John
son had broken Nash'S nose by one as
sault. The witnesses for the defense
beside the prisoner were DR.. SD Mar
koe, DIR. Howitz, Mrs. Nash, Messrs.
Ryder and Genung, Phillip Pottgieser,
Officer Cuniif, John Hannehan, Robert
Nash, J. e. Donnelly and John Doyle.
1t was brought out that Nash always
bore a good reputation, and that
JOhnson's assault upon him and
manner toward the prisoner justi-
fed the prisoners act. Mr.. Mum
summed up for the state and Mr.. Ives
for the defense. Mr.. Ives made very
sensible argument, quiet and convinc-
ing. The jury was out only Il short
time when it returned verdict of not
guilty.

The Military Frontier of France
The cession OF AIsace and Lorraine
placed Metz and Strasburg. the keys
OF the old French frontier in German
hands. It gave Francea new frontier
and a very open one, a frontier IN
protected by any very great natural
obstacles, for the Germans now held
both sides Of the Rhine, and the north
ern passes of the Nosges {the passes
by which the French army used to
march to the Rhine under Napoleon /.
were we'll within the new German ter
'ritOry. Moreover, this naturally open
frontier might be said to be .WhOlly
unprotected by art once Metz and
Strasburg We're gone True there
was the fortress Of Belf0rt on the ex-
LI'snle right. guarding the well marked
valley between the NOsges and the u
,ra. which French geOgraphersscall Ia
trOuee de BelfOrt. But Belfort, shat
tered by the successful siege
which was the last act Of the war,
was only the wreck OF a fortress,
and IN any case its works were not of
such a character as to fit it for ITS new
position on the very frontier line.
Taught by the hard lessons OF -defeat,
work to put the new frontier into a
thorough state of defense. Successive
War Ministers have steadily worked
upon the lines originally LAID dow by
the engineers charged with the 5ask in
1871. Money has not been spared.
1t has been spent by millions, and now,
after the labor of ] 9 veais. the work
is done. Probably so vast a scheme
of military engineering was never be
fore planned and executed in so brief
a time. The French engineers have
not been content to erect upon the
new frontier three or four first-class
lfOrtresses to serve as points OF sup
port for a defending army. They have
closed it with a double line of works,
linked these together by an elaborate
system Of railways, and, b-sides re
certifying Paris, they have construct
sd two other great fOrtresses IN the
heart Of France to serve as bases Of
operation for her armies if. as In 1870.

again pressed by invading armies from
beyond the Rhine.-Rural National
