IS LINGO GUiLTY3

Special to tae Jersey cisg Ee.ss.

Special to fhe Jersey Ciig Nelos
CAMDEN, March q, 1s91.-The upper
most topic Of conversation today here is
the verdict Of the jury in the Miller mur-
der trial. Everybody has much to say on
the subject, and particularly about the
verdict Of the jury. Many condemn the
jury and say the verdict was an outrage,
and travesty upon justice. Others say
the verdict was a just one, aud that the
jury could no. have rendered anything
Dut verdict Of guilty, even on the testi-
mony adduced- While there are many
Mrs. Miller, yet others thought the evil
deuce was sufficient TO convict
THE EVIDENCE GUIDED THEM.
The jurors themselves say that the
black record Of Lingo had nothing to do
with their yer lict, but that the four wit
nesses for the State, all Of whom saw
Lingo in the bush lot Immediately after
Mrs. Miller was seen to enter the woods,
was one Of the main points upon which
their verdict was founded. The jurors
all regard Lingo as a liar with q prison
record OF nine years. The evidence in
the case. however, was sufficient for
them. The torn sleeve, the bloody razor,
the bloody clothes. and the unadmitted
absence of forty-two minutes, all played
One juror states that they were unani-
nous for conviction as soon as they went
out.
Lawyer Taylor, the junior counsel for
the defence. told that they did not expect
a verdict Of guilty. but thought 1t should
be either acquittal or disagreement.
They state that they considered the evil
dence insufficient to convict him, and
they will do all In their power TO get a new
trial for the convicted man.
LING0's DAY AND NIGHT WATCH
The convicted negro Is not permitted
any visitors now, aud his cell is guarded
day and night. In the day time Con-
stable Bratton sits beside the cell door,
and at night Constable Callas, a coloreu
officer from Snow Hill, keeps watch on
all his movements. Lingo now shows the
strain of the ordeal through which he
has passed. and is fast giving way to his
feelings. The belief is shared by many
that he will make a confession of
the murder, while there are many others
who do not anticipate such a proceeding,
judging from the calm and deliberate
manner in which he conducted himself
during the trial There are different
opinions regarding the motion for a new
trial; while it is thought by many that ne
will get one, many others are certain ne
will hang.
Lingo Is accompanied by an officer
every time he goes ont Of the cell and
everything has been taken away from
him, including his watch, cuff buttons
aud collar buttons. He slept but lutte, (
any, on Friday night and tossed about
on his hammock ali night long. He said
this morning that he slept pretty well last
night. but he wears Il worried expression
all the time, which is very unusual for
him, even during the most trying mo-
ments of his trial.

Minnie Frank, Deserted by Her Lover

Minnie Prank, Deserted by Her Lover
Loses Her Senses.
Disappointed iu love, Minnie Frank. a
handsome young woman twenty-five
years old, became violently insane in
Hoboken yesterday and it was found
necessary to remove her to the Hudson
County JAN.
-Four years ago Minnie was engaged as
a servant girl by Mr.. wilmering of No.
3G2 Bloomfield street. The girl was well
educated and apparently was at one time
well to do. She was so obedient and gem
tie that she was greatly beloved by the
family, but whenever her past life WAS
mentioned she would appear greatly
agitated.
While at the WiImering's the girl re-
ceiyed many letters which she appeared
to prize highly. About six months go
these letters ceased aud a change came
over Minnie. She appeared downcast and
nothing seemed TO cheer her. Finally last
Saturday another letter came. When
Minnie was handed the letter her eyes
danced and she laughed and cried in turn
with joy. She ran hastily TO her room to
peruse its contents. Five minutes later
there was a shrek aud a noise OF some
thing falling. The members OF the family
rushed to the girls room and there they
saw Minnie lying on the floor with the
open letter in her hand She had tainted
After she was revived a great change
came over her. Her eyes appeared IN
natural and she moaned, Frank. how
could your How could youfn Then she
became violent. and accused all the per-
sons in the room with eonspiring TO sep
arate her frosa her lover. She ran to an
open window and attempted to Jump out,
but was restrained by Mr.. Wilmering
She was quiet for awhile then. but yes
terday morning she became more violent.
She was constantly moaning for Frank,
and attempted to do herself bodily harm.
Finally DIR. Simon, who lives next door,
was called in, and after examining the
girl pronounced her insane and advised
her removal to the Hudson County Jail,
which was done.
The letter told the story. It was short
and informed her that Frank Zettler,
young man In Cincinnati to whom she
had been engaged and who had been send
ing her ell the letters had married an
other girl.
Much sympathy is expressed for the un-
fortunate young woman on account OF
her beauty and youth. DR.. Simon says
that her mania may be cured.

was a stormy debate in the New Jersey
Conference this morning over the recent
liq nor legislation. The conference de-
nounced the taking of licensing power
from the courts in temperance localities

the Governor and the Legislature in such
mstters has gone too far, and it is
necessary to check it Il was
agreed that an effort must be made to
secure new and better officials by select
ing the best material of each party. A
resolution was passed and a committee
appointed to confer with the churches in
the conference, with view Of having
similar committees appointed in each
church TO look into the matter OF secur-
ing candidates who will be safe on the
liquor question. The debate waxed
