JURYS ACTION DEFENDED.

the Tena Davis Case

Judges Say the Verdict Must stand In
the Tena Davis Case.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 16.--The court
house was crowded at the hearing before
Chief Justice Mason and Justices Ham
mond and Blodgett of arguments by ex-
Governor Long that the verdict against
James A. Trefetben for the murder of
Tena Davis should be set aside. The seven
reasons were assigned in substances
First, the verdict was against the evil
dence; second it was against law; third,
that the verdict was arrived at by speedy
action; fourth, that the jurors conclu-
sions were prejudiced by the fact that the
accused did not go upon the stand and tes-
tify; fifth, that improper weight was
given to the evidence of the government
against the defendant; sixth, the attor-
ney general, in his summing up, argued
ON points that were not submitted in the
evidence; and finally, that the verdict re-
turned was undue and improper
The judges decided that the verdict
must stand. Trefethen showed no signs of
dismay at the decision. A time will be
set for hearing of arguments for new
trial. 1t will probably be not before June.

An Eel Asleep in Crabs Embrace.

Eels have not yet fully awakened from
their winter sleep in the Hackensack
river, and on cold days many are
speared in the mud and brought to the
surface in a torpid condition. Crabs,
which abound in the same stream, are
likewise lengthening their Information.
Lawrence Bryant, the son of Hacken-
sack blacksmith, speared large eel
near the Jail, and when he landed the fish
he was very much astonished to find that
he had captured big crab also.
The crabs nippers were clutching the
eel and bending its body so that its head
nearly touched its tail. Crab and eel
were half asleep, and the latter did not
seem to be much hurt, its assailant hav-

hearted way. Probably both creatures
selected the same alternating place, and

between "Tollboard' and the distant

weather-Crop Bulletin.

Boston, May 16.-Last week was not
favorable for the early growth of crops, ,ac-
cording to the New England weather serv-
ices regular report, but the rains were
needed. A report from northern New
Hampshire says that lumberm4n were
about to pay off their drivers, but that the
rain has given them new heart. In many
places in the northern states very little
seeding has been done; grass starts slowly,
and stock has to be fed from the barns;
hay is scarce and high. Potatoes are be-
ing planted in southeastern Maine and in
all central districts in New England; they
are coming up in the south. Corn ground
is being prepared, and little has been
put in in Connecticut; some sweet corn is
already up in the most favorable fields.
Asparagus, which is being cut for market,
has been retarded. The general report is
that the peach crop promises well, as well
as the plum, pear and apple; the former
are in blossom in all the southern dis
tricts, and the apple is just coming out.

HARRTSON'S STAND.
DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE WORKING
FOR THE DENOMINATION.

He is Assured OF support and Has Never
Thinks Harrison win Be Renominated.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-The president,
before starting on his voyage down the
Chesapeake, alluding to the political stu
Ition to a friend, reiterated his position
Oh the premises, remarking that he was
not anxious for the nomination unless the
Republican party desired it. If they
thought that he would make the most
available nominee with view to success, it
would be gratifying to him to be the
standard bearer again. He said that he
had not, nor did he intend to take any
steps looking to influence the action of the
delegates from any section of the country,
nor would he make any promises or bar
gains with friend or foe to secure his nom
ination.
His friends. however, had assured him
that he would have the support of dele
gates in almost every state in the Union,
and in many of them he had been in
formed that he would have the
entire delegation. He regarded the talk
aboet antag0nizlng his nomination with
Secretary Blaine as simply the invention
of those who have been disappointed in not
getting all they asked and more than
could reasonably be granted by the admin
istsation to crafty their purely personal
political interests of the party. While the
president has never exchanged a word
with Secretary Blaine on the presidency,
he has never regarded him as his rival in
the race. He has also had the best as
surances to that effect.
Secretary Blaine was taking advantage
of the delightful weather yesterday when
he was met by an old friend Some time
was spent in conversation. An incidental

him out to tie conductor of Springfield train.
W. III. REED, Attleboro.
Detective Haberlin of Pawtucket tele-
phoned to the authorities at Springfield
to detain Mr.. Perry, as he was suffering
from arrangement. In the meantime Mr.
Perry had arrived in Springfield, and was
detained until his cousin, Arthur r.
Perry, and Mr. Haberlin arrived The
sight of a familiar face was most
grateful to the Dewildered man. His
money was found to be all right, but he
had lost his overcoat.
Mr.. Perry has only vague recollection
said last night that the last thing he re-
membered on the day he disappeared was
purchasing meat at Whitney's market,
about 5 o'clock. He does not remember
calling at the stable for his horse and car
riage, nor searching for them, nor leaving
them on Broad street. He does not re-
member taking the train that evening.
The first clear recollection he has of any

Sunday evening. Realizing the uncertain
state of his mind, he went to the chief of

however, directed him to hotel and told
him that his money would be safe, and
that he would be cared for until he felt
BETTER
Monday morning he left the hotel for
Boston on an early train. He thinks he
must have lost himself again and stopped
off somewhere, for he had not reached
Boston until late that evening. Yester-
day morning he lost his head again, and
was soon travelling back over the same
way he had followed the day before. Mr..
Perry seems quite himself, and with the
return of the sleep of which he has been
deprived so long, will probably soon be
entirely recovered.

is in the hospital ward of the house of cor
rection, and convalescing rapidly from
the three bullet wounds he inflicted upon
himself in an attempt at self destruction
Immediately after he fired the fatal shot
at Miss Williams.
Cunningham's defense will be acci-
dental shooting. He will claim that
he drew his revolver to intimidate his
victim into marrying him, and the weapon
accidentally exploded. AS consistent with
this he will offer his subsequent attempt
to commit suicide. 1t is che general
opinion among the Cambridge police, how
ever, that this plea will avail him little,
