Louisville, KY. May 9.-The city
court was crowded today when the
case of Fulton Gordon. charged witt
the murder of his wife and Archie
Brown, was called. Prosecuting At
torney Thurman endeavored to show
the court that Gordon's crime was
nothing less than deliberate murder.
Attorney Shields, for the defense
asked the dismissal of the prisoner. on
the grounds of justification.
Then Mr.. Scott, who represented
Governor Brown in the prosecution,
began a vigorous arraignment of Cor
don, and pictured i'll glowing colora
the character and qualities of Archie
Brown.
After arguments were completed and
the case closed, Judge Thompson an
nounced that he could not hold the
prisoner and that he would discharge
him, as an object lesson to other adul-
terers.
Never was a crowd more demonstra-
tive in it's appreciation than was the
immense throng in the police court,
when Judge Thompson announced, in
a clear tone the 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
appreciated. There was evidently not
soul in the court, save the attorneys
for the prosecution and perhaps some
friends of the dead man, but was
pleased with the verdict.
In vain did the bailiff endeavor to
restore order but it was of no avail,
and even after the vast throng reached
the streets, the cheering was kept up.
In explanation. Judge Thompson said
there was no evidence of guilt on Cor
don's part, but that the adulterer and
adulteress stood on the verge of an
abyss of ruin and death and their fate
was only what could be expected
Thus ends the last chapter to the most
sensational tragedy in the history of
Kentucky

changed at Chez Foo on Wednesday. No
change was made in the text of the

France, the Japanese government have
agreed to the announcement of the per-
manent possession OF the Lao Tung Pc

remuneration shall be reserver for ad-
justment between itself and the govern

Japanese for term of years, leading
beyond the date when the indemnity has

herself against anything like war Of

The foregoing statement is official,

understanding is that it embodies the

ELLIOTT PAYGE UNDER ARREST
Charged with Opening Letters In
trusted to His Care.

Elliott S. Payge was arrested yesterday
afternoon at his home by United States
Deputy Marshal Dayton, on a warrant
charging him with opening mail, while
in the performance of his duties as distri-
buting clerk at the pOstonice. The war
rant was sworn out by Inspector Bulla,
who has been quietly investigating the
case. The warrant was sworn out before
Commissioner Isaac Beckett and the inVeS-
tigation was set for o'clock at his office
in the custom house. 1t was not held,
however, as Payge requested postpone
ment. He was released under bond.
Payge seemed very much surprised at his
arrest and denied any knowledge of the
crime with which he is charged. He asked
for a postponement, in order that he
might have time to secure legal advice
and prepare his defense. The witnesses
against Payge are Postmaster Haines and
II. w. Butler, NJ +. Kirby S. b. Barn
well and Joseph Minuit, all employees of
the poStottice. Inspector Bulla, who made
the arrest, says he has some very strong
evidence against Payge but was not will
ing to so into details.
Payge is the young man who was dis
missed from the pOStOffice bV Postmaster
Haines sometime ago, because he endeav-
ored to organize a plot against some of
the other employees for the purpose of Sc
curing their discharge. His efforts were
brought to the attention Of Postmaster
Ha1nes, who, after a very searching inyes-
tSat1On, suspended Payge and recon-
mended his dismissal by the postoflce de-
partment. The affair created considerable
comment at the time. 1t was reported
that Payge might be arrested on the
charge OF conspiracy, and he doubtless ex-
pected something of this kind Inspector
Bulla, when asked about this matter. said
that charge of conspiracy would not
hold, because, though Payge attempted to
organize conspiracy. he failed to do so.
Payge was refused admission to the
civil service examination held here a short
time after his suspension. 1t transpires
that there was a suspicion at the time he
was suspended that he had been tamper-
ing with letters that passed through HE
| hands as distributing clerk. The mates,
was reported TO the department and In
spector Bulla went to work to obtain evi-
dence of Payges guilt If the charge is
sustained, it will likely go hard with the
young man.

THE EMPLOYEES PAID OFF.
THE DELAY ON ACCOUNT OF THE
CITY AND SUBURBAN RECEIV-
ERSHIP.

The Pay Rolls Held Over n Day for
the Receivers signature-The Re-
pair shops to Resume Work in
Day or TwO-A Conference with
the Receivers of the Electric Rail-
way in Reference to an Increase
in Fares.
The employees Of the City and Subur-
ban railway were paid yesterday for last
weeks work. Monday is the weekly pay
day of the company, but ow-
ing to some delay in the sign
ing Of the pay rolls. growing out of the
receivership. the money was not forth
coming until yesterday. Those employees
who got nervous on the subject Of los
ing their weeks pay found that they had
had their nervousness for nothing.
The company has always been prompt
in the payment of it's employees and the
latter have never had any complaint on
that score.
The repair shop of the company. in
which work ceased Monday, is also in
volved in the question of dispute as 70
who is entitled to control Work VIII prop
ably be resumed this week, as soon as the
question of control is settled, or an ar
rangement entered into beween the re-
ceiver and the officials of the savannah,
ThundeTbolt and Isle of Hope road. The
ment, and one which could not be us
pensed with for very long.
Since the appointment of COL ScreNen
as receiver he and Receiver John X;
Young of the Electric railway have had
a conference with reference to the mat
ter of fares on these two lines. Receiver
Screven, it is understood, expressed him
self in favor of an adjustment OF the
competition on a basis that viii make the
operations of both lines pay, and give the
patrons of the lines a good service. lie
expressed an entire willingness to meet
Receiver Young with regard TO that mat
ter and to do everything possible toward
having fares placed all around at an
equitable rate. 1t is hardly proba BILE
that Col. ScreVen will take any action
while ne is only temporary receiver as
the matter of making such changes would
come more properly under the permanent
receivershp, should one be grant ed.
Whether this means a return to scent
fares is difficult to say. The opinion OF
experienced street railway men is that
a scent rae on the short lines is
enough.
There are a good many people in the
city who own City and Suburban bonds,
and there is considerable inquiry to know
Just what is the meaning of the present
suit, and what may be its outcome. 1t is
said that Mr.. w. w. Osborne and Di-
rector Hartman have gone to Macon with
a view to urging Judge Speer to modify
his order so as not to include the power
house in the receivership, the claim be
ing made that II does not belong 10 the
CITY and Suburban lines.
