sorbed in accounts of the gigantic

unconscious of the. pin pricks." Pur-

NOT oUILTYp
Said the Jury Of the Defendants in the
Gentry Case.

New Era: Contrary to expecta-
tons the testimony in the Gentry
matter was concluded lest evening at
a late hour. Messrs. Ferguson, the
cousins of plaintiff who were with
him on the day Of the alleged outrage,
testified after the plaintiff and their
testimony in the main corroborated
Gentry's. The defendants were in
troduced and the most rigid cross ex-
animation by the prosecution failed
to develop any evidence that could
go to prove that they intended per-
sonal violence towards the
young Criterion man. They
admitted having followed him
to Ferguson's with tin horns, tin
pans, etc, but denied any intention
Of assaulting his person. The hour
was late when the testimony was con-
cluded and the speeches were limited
to twenty minutes. G. NJ. Bell
opened the case for the defense and
was followed by Col. Brown, Gentry's
attorney. Col. Sypert then spoke for
the defense and Mr.. Ferguson in be-
half of the city, closed the argument,
after which the court instructed the
jury, which retired.
The defendants manifested very
little uneasiness While the jury was
in consultation, and when the ver-
dict of "nOt guilty. was returned,
there were wild cheers and waving of
hats. The famous trial was ended
and the boys fled out of the court
room followed by large number of
friends.

Clarksville Tobacco Market.

We have to report a more active
market this week for low grades, of
which the offerings on the Board
mainly consist, and prices show inn
provement. The old tobacco is ready
for use, and present prices are no
doubt higher than will rule for the
new low grades when they appear.
Sales for the week will amount to be-
tween 400 and 500 Hhds. and most of
the purchases are being shipped out.
The general quality this week was
very poor, the bulk of the offerings
being Jugs, with a percentage of
double old Tugs also, but the breaks
seem to suit the general demand just
now. We quote.

A Bold For gerry.

The Grand Jury yesterday re-
turned true bill against j. Marion
Davie, of Districk No. 3, for forging
areceipt on j. ID. Kendrick, deceased,
for 81 $40. In an interview with the
law firm of Smith & Gholson, who
are Mrs. Hendricks attorneys, we
learned that Mr.. Davie had given a
note to Mr.. Kendrick for sc, 900, and
never made payment on it, and
was behind with the interest. When
Mr.. Hendricks estate was being set
tied up, Mr.. Davie came Harvard
with two receipts, one for 81 $40 and
one for 81 1926, and filed his claim for
the sums named. AS soon as he
placed them on record they were
pronounced a base forgery, being
written with a lead pencil, and bear
ing no resemblance to Mr.. Hendricks
signature. The evidence was placed
before the Grand Jury, who returned
an Indictment against him on the
first count. Mr.. Davie was in town
last evening, and was placed under
arrest. He gave bond for 50 800, and
was released. Mr.. Davie has always
borne a good reputation and is well
connected, and it is MYSTERY why
he should be so foolish as to place
in such bad predicament.

The New Ravens Defeat the League
 Leaders 10 2-The Home Team
 Out-pIay Their OpPOnentS-Ban-
 croft Going Back to SprIngdeld-
 TO-NighI's Game-other Notes.
 The New Ravens played all around the Meriden last night and won, to g. Each team lost goal by fouls. Lations, with horse shoe, acted as mas cot. Before entering the rink each player touched the horse shoe.
 There was probably present the largest crowd of the season. They were kept busy applauding the good plays of the New aa vers.
 It looked at the end of the first half as if Meriden wouldn't get goal. as the score then was to 0. The game was not of the slap-bang order, but an easy one, in which the home team, by the admirable coaching of Hill, kept the visitors chasing wildly about the floor.
 A better pair of rushers can not be found than Connors and Hill. They did some wonderful work last night. Hill does rot play for an individual record, but to win. He didn't cage ball last night, but five times he passed it to Connors and the latter completed the act by driving the ball past Lsmpkin.
 As for Perry-weI, he gave one of the best exhibitions of playing at center that New Haven audiences have had the good fortune to see. Valiant did some perfect blocking at half-back and stopped many hard drives. Phelan didn't have much to do until the last half, but some of his stops were phenomenal ones.
 For Meriden Mul Smith played the best. Cunningham and Dunning did well, but they were completely outmstched by Connors and Hill. Hannaford still clings to his old habit of leaving his position. Lampkin could not stop Connor's lightning drives.
 New Haven made five goals, all by Connors on passes by Hill. Shortly after the bell rang for the half Meriden made her first goal. The next was New Haven's. Hill juggled the ball past all five of Meriden's players and eaged it in 29 seconds.
 At this point foul was called on each Cunning and Valiant. This was the third on each team and so the score was to O. Hannaford then saved Meriden from being whitewashed. He hit the ball slowly and it rolled over Phelan's foot. These slow hits are the hardest that goal tend has to stop. Meriden got the next on side drive by Gun niDgham. The score:

DARING RoBBERY.
At Pawnshop on Church street.

At a PaWhshOp on Church Street.
 About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon @ young man about 2S years old entered the pawnshop of Solomon Fry, 42 Church street, and asked MT. Fry's daughter if he might look at diamond ring he had seen in the window about three weeks ago.
 He was shown that ring and two other dia- mond rings, in all valued at $S5.
 He held the rings in his hands examining them, slowly edging toward the door, and suddenly, when Miss Fry's back was turned, he opened the door and ran out and around the corner.
 MT. Fry and his daughter both being be- hind the counters it took but moment to get oatside and then the man had disappeared. The csbman at the corner said that the thief had turned into Gregson street, but no clue of him could be found.
 Miss Fry describes the man as about five feet six inches tall, light complexion and wearing light moustAche. He had on black chinchilla overcoat and dark derby hat.
 He is in all probability an out of town man, who had been here less than a month ago, looking around, and he had noticed the ring he had asked for in the window The police are on his track and have expectations of finding the thief
