prudent would have done undm tho croum-
stances. and the fact that he had consented TO re-
duction Of the bail OF Parker from $4,000 to 81 900
showed copcusively that his client was not controlled
BY malice. Thomas T. wiohes argued for the plain
tin. and reviewed the testimony concerning tho I'm
prisoDment OF his client In the Tombs and the hard
ships which he underwent there.
Justice Andrews In charging the Jury. told them tina
II White had reasonable ground to suppose that Parker

Troy, ~ y, March 10 CSpecIall.-Republlcans in
gburs and Troy express the opinion that ONLY
half Of the truth regarding the proceedings at the
election In Lansngburg has been told. 1t Is alleged
that On Tuesday senator Murphy was kept fully in
formed regarding them by ono Of his letenants who
used the long distance telephone 10 good effect The
fact that no orders stop the repeating issued
would seem TO show that the work went on With the
approval Of Mr.. Murphy. Some OF the Republican
candidates who were without doubt honestly chosen
have established themselves In office. and backed BY
the more conscientious and fair-mndcd Democrats.
Will make desperate fight to hold their places. Tho
action OF James Gillespie tho policeman who resigned
on Tuesday, has been highly commended. lie Is a
man OF integrity and has made statements telling how
the plot to carry tho election made In The rooms
Of the Police Board week before the contest These
statements he Is willing to testify to- and 1t Is not
unlikely that before many days those responsible for
will nnd themselves In an exceedingly embarrassing
