THE JURY NOT PROPERLY swOR
This May Save Banker Smith From N ssc.
ond Trial for Embellishments

LANCASTER, Pa, April 1S.-The trial
o. K. Smith, the aged banker OF CO.
aum Ola, on the charge OF embezzl

under peculiar circumstances. Gone
gresham Msrcott Brossius, one of his
attorneys, moved that the panel of
Jurors be quashed on the ground that IL
was illegally drawn. He showed that
when the present jury commissioners
were Installed last January the oath to
which they subscribed did not include
the phrase that they would "select ali
Jurors without hatred, malice or i'll.
Will as req uired by the act of assem- bly,,
and that this commission was fatal 10
their qualifications to draw Jurors.
Judge Brubaker regarded the point
we'll taken and declared Smiths trial
OH. The defendant, who Is nearly 80
years old, was convicted at the last
term OF court OF receiving deposits after
he knew his bank was insolyent. the
conviction having been secured mainly
oy the testimony OF his partner, c. e.
Graybill. Sentence had not been
passed, pending motion for new
trial. There are numerous other in,
dic.ments against the banker, but
Judge Brubaker having intimated that
he considered them defective, the dis
trict attorney was engaged in framing
now ones, which would have been sent
to the grand jury Tomorrow
II, however, the present grand Jury is
incompetent, on sccount Of tho in

statute OF Limitations would intervnna
to save Smith from trial. The CASE ia
creating big sensation in loyal circles,

this number 1900 are said to be armed
with rifles, while the others use shot
guns and matchetes as weapons. The
rebels do not possess a single piece of
artillery.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by tho fact that the rebels are
again resorting to the incendisry tao tics
that caused such enormous losses to the
planters, during the last insurrection.
The central plantations Dos Amigos
lswo friends), the property of Senior
Nicolas Castano, situated on the coast
near Manzanillo, has been burned by
the rebels. Two million arrobas of
sugar cane were destroyed. The advices
do not show whether the machinery of

central factories contain very expensive
machinery and should the rebels burn
many of them the loss would be enor-
nous.
1t Is stated on good authority that the
troops commanded by Colonel Santocildo
have cooped up band OF insurgents in
the mountains in the provence of Santi
ago de Cuba, and that their capture Is

A STRANGE STORY.
The Mother of Edward Darling Claims He
Was Poisoned.


NEW YORK, April 1s.-Mrs. Flora
Adams Darling, writer OF war letters
and one OF the founders Of the Daughters
OF the Revolution, is seeking the indict.
ment Of DR.. Francis Xavier Hpranger
and his wife, who was formerly her
daughter-in law, Mrs. Edward Irving
Darling, by the grand jury OF New York
county.
The case is in the hands Of Assistant
District Attorney Battle and is now In
suth shape that 1t will probably be- pre-.
sented to the grand jury during the
coming week. Mrs. Darling's son Ed
ward Irving Darling, died on February
ID, 1894, at Mount Clemens.
The son met Beatrice Gay Klingle in
Washington In 1885 and they were
married on September 18th Of that year.
They removed to Detroit. where Darl-
Ing met with an accident, in falling out
OF window and breaking several bones
OF his body. DR.. Spranger attended
him: For many weeks the young man
lay In plaster of Paris casts and it ia al
legged now that during this time the
doctor fell in love with his patients
wife.
On July 4, 1892, the death OF the
younger Mrs. Dar'ing's father in Wash
irRton left her an estate of more than
Sl,000,000 Mr.. and Mrs. Darling went
to Washington to attend the funeral
and stopped at the Ebbits House in tn {
city. While there the young man be-
came violently i'll after drinking q glass
OF milk. DR.. Harrison, a physician of
that city, attributed it to impure milk.
Mrs. Darling, the mother, now claims
that that milk contained poison.
Mr. and Mrs. Darling returned to
Detroit, and from that time on it Is said
the husband became an invalid. Ac.
cordiDg to the story told by the mother,
Dr. Spranger was in constant attend
ance upon her son. DR.. Richard Loeb
ner was called to see him at his mothers
and said that violent drugs had de-
stroyed the tissues of his body. The
patient died on February 10, 1894, but
previous to his death he made a state.
ment that his wife and DR.. Spranger
had systematically poisoned him, and
that he would die from the effects Of
the drugs given him. The body was
cremated at the request OF the patient.
The district attorney Is said 20 have
announced at that time that, should the
wife ever marry the doctor, the motive
would become plain. The motive, 40.
cording to the dead mans mother, has
now been esta blished through the pub
lie announcement of the marriage, and
watch ceremony took place at the Corr
pus Christus Cathedral at Baltimore ON
March of this year.
