NOT GUILTY.


WOODBURY., N. j., July H.-The jury in
the case of Patrick Kerwin, charged with
the murder Of GAM, came into court at 10
o'clock this morning, after having been
out II hours, with a verdict OF "Not
guilty" Kerwin was Immediately re-
leased from custody.
1t was alleged by the prosecution that
CAM and Kerwin, while drinking with
companions at a hotel near here last
January, quarreled, and CAM was killed
and his body thrown into the Delaware
river, where it was found some weeks
afterward.
Kerwin admitted quarreling with CAM,
but denied having anything to do with
his death. CAMS mysterious disappear
ance was for long time the sensation OF
South Jersey. The mystery was height
ened by the finding of a body in the river
which was positively identified by CAMS
relatives as that of the missing man, but
which afterward proved to be that OF an
other person.

From these figures it will be seen that
the Britannia had gained one minute, 81
seconds on this leg. After rounding the
lightship, it was a free reach in steadier
southerly breeze, until the racers were
about half way to the Muglins, when both
were almost becalmed until they were
again sent on by southerly air.
Great excitement prevailed both ashore
and afloat as the two yachts raced up to
and over the home mark and commenced
their broad reach to Rosebeg on the final
round. Both yachts got the full benefit
of strong northwest wind and
the Vigilant fairly reveled in it
and romped along at rafting
pace, while drawing rapidly ahead. Main
sheets were let away and spinnaker booms
were out to port for wearing round the
mark. The Vigilant seemed to fly along,
her speedy going being quite revelation
TO the Dublinites, who had judged her by
her performance Of yesterday.
Az Rosbeg buoy, on the third round, the
two yachts were timed as follows:
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-07-21

The Britannia was well favored under
the circumstances, so that when west
terly air carried the yachts out to the
calm patch they worked down on the
starboard tack to fetch the Muglins mark,
with the Britannia broad on the Vigilant's
weather beam. When they reached they
stayed to port long distance south OF the
mark, into which position they had been
driven by the tide. The Britannia had
taken the lead.
1t was impossible to time the yachts
when they rounded the Muglins mark, on
the second rourd, owing to the lengthy
detour which they had taken on account
Of the tide.
A stropg puff caught both yachts rs
they made for the home mark In order to
complete the second round. The Vigilant,
however, had the Britannia safely under
her lee, and was sailing very fast and pull
ing ahead of The cutter.
Jibtopsails were hauled down on near
ing the commodore's boat, and both took
a hitch in order to make the markboat at
the end OF the second round, which was
finished as follows:

Naturally the Vigilant at this point was
looked upon as being sure winner, as
she had lie ad OF minutes 5S seconds on
the Prince OF Wales yacht.
The breeze, however, slackened when
the sloop was about mile from the
mark. But when the Britannia suffered
the most from this falling off in the
wind and both yachts were carried south
ward by the ebb tide, being forced to
tack to port in order to lay the Muglins
mark.
Both yachts ran long distance north
ward on the port tack in order to avoid
being driven south past the Muglius by
the tide, and the Vigilant succeeded
in making the mark in fair northwest
breeze with the Britannia just about a
quarter of mile astern. Intense excite
ment prevaised, as IL was still doubtful
whether the Vigilant would be able to
win after giving the Britannia her time
allowance.
The two yachts passed the Muglns on
the third round as follows:
