TO LET DEBS co.
The Case Against Him Falls All
to Pieces.
Jury Converted to the Side Of
the Labor Leader.
CASE PUT OFF TO MAY.
The Jury Surrounds Debs Mani
testing Their Delight.
The Conspiracy Case" Becomes
a Matter for Merriment.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-Judge Grosscup
has postponed the Debs trial until the
first Monday in May. He discharged the
jury today on account of the serious i'll
ness of Juror Coe, and new jury will
be summoned when the case is again put
on trial.
A dramatic scene followed the decision
of Judge Grosscup discharging the
jury. The jurymen left their
seats, and while some stopped to shake
Judge Grosscup's hand, the majority
hnrried to where the prisoners were sit
ting and surrounded Debs. They slapped
him on the back. shook hands with him
again and again, and expressed pro-
found admiration for his bearing during
the trial.
"Debs," said Juror Baird, "when this
trial opened I was in favor of giving you
a five years sentence, but now l am anx-
ious to see you free"
Similar expressions were heard from
the other jurors, and it was evident that
the case would have resulted in an ac-
quittal had it not ended in mistrial.
The attorneys for the defense were crest
fallen at the sudden ending of the case,
all expressing the opinion that a victory
was in sight for the defendants, when
Juror Goes illness stopped the proceed
ings.
The defendants were equally sorry that
the trial could not proceed. Dehs ex-
pressed himself as confident that he and
his associates would have been acquitted.
The continuance of the case leaves the
American railway union directors free
temporarily but under two bail bonds
each.
The appeal from the contempt SEN
fences is still pending in the supreme
court, where each defendant is under
bonds, and the bail in the present, or
conspiracy case, will stand until the trial
is resumed next May

A suit to determine who is the owner
of Burnett's Mound, the elevation south
west of Washburn college, is being heard
by Judge johnson in the circuit court
today
Wnen John D. Knox failed, Metho-
dist preacher in Piusburg, Pa, by the
name of James L. Reed had $4,000 which
was held in trust by Knox, He secured
judgment for that amount
The only property in sight was Bur
nett's Mound, but before Reed could get
hold of this it was snapped up under an
other judgment, secured by H. l. Shaffer.
who committed suicide two years ago at
his home on Lincoln street
The present suit is to reopen the case
and set aside the sheriff's deed on the
grounds that Reeds suit was commenced
before that brought by Shaffer.
Another reason urged for reopening
the case is that the notice of judgment
was published in the Merchants Jour
nal, which was not paper of general
circulation.

Here is a love letter without the word
love and proposal that does not pro-
pose, surely the queerest thing of its
class, for Whitefeld's letter did at least
offer marriage and gave reasons for de-
string it.
