CONVICTED AGAIN.
Ansart and Leonard Found Guilty
of Assault with Intent to XIII.

L w M
The jury in the case of Ansart and
Leonard the burglars charged with as
sault with intent to kill upon Officers
McGurk and Dunnigan, a full account
of which was published in last nights
Jersey City News" brought in a verdict
at half-past nine o'clock this morning of
guilty. The jury was locked up all
night. having been out since before four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Ex-Judge HoffQ1an, in summing up for
the defense. said that it was merely a
case between two citizens and two police
officers. and that the latter mems reputa-
ton was at stake. He also said that if
the Jury found the prisoners guilty they
would be accusing the witnesses for the
defense of being pefjurers. He spoke for
Dunnigan for having sworn that he
could identify Leonard out of a million.
The counsellor then turned towards
Chief of Police Murphy, and addressing
his words to him, said that he ought to
be proud of such men as Donnegar, and
also McGurk, who could chase flying
burglars. fire at them but a few feet
then stop at a Merry friends house at
beer and crackers while the neighborhood
was being overrun with thieves and rob-
bers and also throwing dice for drinks
with the criminals themselves.
Prosecutor Winfield said but very little,
merely stating hat all such reading of
old antique cases as presented by Judge
Hoffman was nothing but rot, and had
no bearing upon the case in question
whatever.
Judge H~udspeth, in charging the fury,
instructed them to be very careful, as
the case was a very serious one.

THE MATCH Is OFF.
Long Range courtship Ended by
Wire on the Wedding
Eve.

A we'll dressed, middle aged man rushed
into the Western Union Telegraph office
in the Weldon Buildin, yesterday after
noon and exclaimed:-"It's all Off"
The young lady operator was ~frighten-
ed. She deserted her post and made her
way toward the rear of the Office.
Noting that the excited gentleman made
no effort to wreck the office the operator
timidly asked, whats off?'
"My wedding, of course" was the
reply.
1t sounded like a. secret, and in an
instant the young operator forgot her
fright and was in earnest conversation
with the gentleman. He wanted to know
how far a message could be sent over
the Western Union wires and when told
all over the ountry he seemed pleased.
'.Then send this message to the poor
GIRL he cried.
LEFT Providence and got as far as
Jersey City. Met with an accident.
Postpone our. wedding"
He repeated the message three or four
times and then wanted to pay for send
ing it. j 80. ooz -.

Virginia. She says that's her name"
continued the man.. Il don't know wheth-
err it is or not; in fact, l don't care. You
see I have never seen her. l have only
correspondent with her. We agreed to get
married on Thanksgiving Day, but 1
can't get there now.
It am sorry for the poor girl. She
may have made arrangements for a big
wedding. A postponement will humiliate
her. Everything would have been all
right had | not met with an accident"
GLOW will I sign this despatch?" in
terrupted the operator.
The man glanced cautiously about for
a moment and hen replied, George,
He prepaid the despatch and was
about to depart when a News reporter
met him. The man described himself
as George Blair. He says he is a resi-
dent and business man of Providence,
R. I. When asked what accident had
prevented him from reaching his iancee
he declined to say.
When he sent the despatch he was in a
convivial mood. A friend who was with
him remarked that he had been cele-
brating his contemplated departure from
bache1orhood too freely.

before the committee and stated their posi-
