sk"Now, gentlemen, what remains is the
question Of these small ballots, there Is
no law that says the ballots shall be Of
any specific size, or to prevent any man
whether they went into the box or
a mark on all ballots deposited
in it. If ] understand the claim of
the State it is THAT this conspiracy was
not concocted until after the polls
opened, and if that is true, then the
stamping forms no part of the evidence
OF conspiracy. Do you suppose
that Mr.. O'Donnell or some
other man, after having conceived
such a scheme. would have scattered the
evidence OF it broadcast the night before
election? Mr.. Altemus swears to it, but
does it look probables It might be
that they were stamped for some
other purpose, it might be that
some one was buying votes and
that the mark was put on the ballots to
identify them when being counted. Now
IL these jokers had been prepared and
voted in the cigar box, the large ballots
then would not be stamped, for some
of them were voted in bunch.
don't believe when you gentle
men took your seats you be-
lieved that these men were guilty. OF
course you read the papers and came to a
conclusion that crime had been COM
mitted by some one. but don't believe

THE LORILLARD STRIKE.
Two Hundred Stemmers Out, Fifty
at Work.

At Lorillard's factory. tins morning,
both Mr.. Pierre Lorillard, Jr.. and Super
intendent Reed gave 1t out that force
OF stemmers had been put to work, in
cluding some Of the strikers.
just how many, neither could state.
The striking girls held meeting this
morning at Turner Hall and appointed a
committee to again wait upon the firm.
There were about two hundred in attend
ance at the meeting.
The committee returned and announced
that Mr.. Lorillard still refused to grant
the increase. Resolutions were immedi-
ately passed declaring an unwilIingness
to go back at the old figures.
Several of those who are thrown out of
work In consequence of the strike express
sympathy with the strikers and say they
Will not handle the leaf stemmed by
others than the strikers.
Some even go so far as to intimate that
they are in possession Of knowledge Of
the fact that the employees in the other
departments are ready to strike If new
force of stemmers takes the places
of the strikers; but there is no authentic
information as to this state of affairs.
So far as can be ascertained the other de-
partments Will take no hand in the strike
in the plug department.
FIFTY AT WORK.
An old lady, one of the strikers who
went to work this morning, said there
were about fifty stemmers at work today.
She could not tell whether they were
new hands or not; but thought many of
them were the striking Poles
It is said the strike has already cost the
firm considerably through their not being
able to- fill their orders.
Mr.. Lorillard said the firm proposed to
run the factory. The increase in figures
ask ed for would not be granted upon any
consideration.
ssIf we give in on this strike, we win
never be able to control the factory" he
said. sThese girls are earning fair
wages. 7 have struck an aver
age of wages paid them and
find it to be practically So week. Some
Of them We're earning as high as 50 per
week. Those who were earning but from
So to 81 were unable to earn more because
they were not practical stemers."
PEACEFUL STRIKERS
The conduct of the strikers has been
admirable throughout. This is mat
ter OF general comment. Very few
of them have been seen in the
vicinity of the factory since the
strike was inaugurated except to receive
their pay on Saturday. Some of the men
who were laid off indefinitely who were
told to come for their pay this morning be-
came demonstrative. One by the name
of Cook was struck in the
jaw by Policeman Kelly's .club
but no arrests were made. A good feel
ing still exists between the firm and the
strikers. The latter will hold another
meeting on Wednesday morning.

Counsellor Black said:--"It has fallen to
me in this discussion to present to you
those underlying legal points which
should guide you in forming your YER
dict We feel confident that in the dis
charge Of your duty you will render a
verdict without prejudice. It may be
well, gentlemen. to recite that the
disfayor on the crime here
charged as any Of you. The range
OF discussion, it seems to me
is limited to narrow limits. The two
questions for your determination are:-
Has there been a conspiracy and has
that crime been brought home to these
defendants? Those are the only questions
before you. will not attempt to ana
lyze the evidence for my associate will do
that. will say, however, that the bur-
den Of proof is on The prosecution to
prove these persons guilty. This prin-
oath you have taken. The reason for
such rule applied to criminal practice is
self evident To find verdict of guilty
against the defendants, unless the Prose-
cutor has convinced you beyond doubt,
would be worse than the crime they are
the conviction of somebody for some
thing, and the public officers led on per-
haps by desire to receive public appro-
baton, have endeavored to prove to you
that these defendants are the somebody.
In this case the Prosecutor must bring
home the guilt of these defendants be-
yond reasonable doubt. We ask for but
q fair, honest determination OF the facts
submitted to you.
IA conspiracy means completely in the
acts alleged, and I ask you where you lay
hold of the slightest evidence of COM
plicity in this offence? I ask you where
you will put your finger upon that evi-
dence? The prosecution will speak to
you of the violation of the election law
which we admit. Do you suppose these
men If they had been conspirators would
have left so much evidence behind
them? Gentlemen, you will be told
that there were illegal ballots In the box
and that that fact in its self Is evidence.of
q gigantic conspiracy. l say to you in

of proof on the prosecution. Can you,
dare you convict fellow being on the
evidence produced, and send these de-
PENDANTS to State prisonf"

guilt has been produced"

LAND FOR THE PARK.

Some of the Owners Want Extravagant
Prices for 1t.
The Park Commissioners spent some
time Saturday in visiting the sites select
ed by them for the new parks. They
afterwards held meeting and listened to-
reports of the subcommittee which were
appointed to negotiate with the owners
for the purchase of the property chosen
There was such wide diver
gence in the prices asked that
the committee took no decided
action. The owners of some portions OF
the sites asked prices for their plots out
of all proportion to the value. while
others were willing to sell at g.
reasonable price, thinking that the
benefit which the parks will work to
property in that vicinity will more than
compensate them for their sacrifice.
The Board adjourned to meet at the
call of the president. In the meantime
the commissioners will ascertain wha5
action the Freeholders will take
of issuing the necessary bonds for raising
the money which will be needed to prr-
chase the property. If they are unable
to agree with owners on a price they will
resort to their right of condemnation.
