A popULAl, VERDICT.


Tho Decision OF Judge Thompson In tho
Gordon Case Mt Louisville Rscelyod with
Cheers.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 9.-Thc city
court was crowded again this morning
when the case OF Fulton Gordon, charged
with tho murder OF his wife and Arch
Brown was called. Argument was
promptly begun by Prosecuting Attor.
ncy Seaman Thurman, who. after rc-
viewing tho case at some length, on
dcayorcd to show the court that Cor
don's crime was nothing less than
deliberate murder,
Mr. Thurman was followed by Attor.
noy Shields, for tho defense, who asked
tho dismissal OF the prisoner on tho
ground OF justiiiable homicide. ihen
Mr.. Scott, who represents Governor
Brown in tho prosecution, arose and be.
gau vigorous araignment oil Gordon
and pictured in glowing colors the char
acter and qualities Of Archie Brown.
After arguments were completed and
the case closed. Judge Thompson an.
nounccd that he could not hold the
prisoner, aud that no would discharge
him aa all object lesson to other adul.
tercrs.
Never was crowd more demonstra.
tive in 1t, appreciation than was tho
immense throng in the police court
when Judge Thompson announced in u
clear tone tho verdict in the case.
Cheer after cheer went up and hand
after hand was thrust out to the Judge
TO show how much his verdict was ap.
preciated. There was evidently not 4
soul in the court save the attorneys for
the prosecution, aud perhaps somo
fronds OF the dead man, but was pleased
with the verdict
When the Judge had finished and
hardly before the last word had fallen
from his lips. the cheering began, which
continued fully twenty minutes. In
vain did the bailif eudeavor TO restore
order, but 1t WAS OF no avail, and not
until tho vast throng had departed from
the room wa, order restored. aud even
after reaching the streets the cheering
was kept up. In explanation. the judge
said that there was no evidence oil guilt
on Gordou's part, butthat the adulterer
and adul,eress stood on the verge OF an
abyss OF ruin and death, aud thrir fato
was only what could be expected. Thus
ends the last chapter TO most sensa.
tional tragedy in the history OF Ken
tucky.

DovER, DEL., May 0.-The general

Tho matter will probably DO taken to
the United States senate for decision.
As coon aR Governor Watson (Dem.).

that whom Senator Watson. by virtue Of

AMID CONFUSION.
There much contusi on and many eI-
citing scenes during the course of the
baIlo,ing. and at times it appeared as
il there might be trouble. The fret OF
these occurred during the early part OF
tho afternoon, when number OF prom
inent Democrats from all parts OF the
state crowded in upon the floor and in
sisted upon coaching the Democratic
members in the methods TO be pursued
in order to impede the progress OF the
balloting. Finally Governor Watson
tired OF 1t, and ordered the floor cleared
Of ali persons except members and re-
porters. After this was done there was
semblance OF order until near the
close OF the session, when the Demo-
cratic lawyers again made their way to
the floor. At the final movement. and
when the Republicans were voicing
their indignant protests against the
governors course in declaring tho ses-
sion adjourned, these lawyers crowded
around the speakers chair, volunteer
Ing advice 10 the governor and other
wise adding TO the confusion which pre-
vailed.
At the conclusion OF the 2l1th ballot
Senator Aldrich arose and read paper
protesting against further ballot
ing, claiming that Horny A. Dupont
had been legally elected. Governor
Watson refused to entertain the motion
or to allow protes; 70 go on the records
OF the join. session, claiming it to be out
OF order.
Senator Records, tho Democratic
leader. moved to separate and during
the roll call the state nouse clock struck
the hour OF 5, but the clock in the hall
was one minute slow and when tho vote
was announced the governor declared
the general assembly dissolved.
