A JUDGE cHEERED.
Remarkable Demo onstration In a
Court Room.

Remarkable DeMOnstration In a
Court Room.
Louisville, n.y., May 1.-THE city
court was crowded to-day when the
case of Fulton Gordon, charged with
Brown, was called. After arguments
were completed and the case closed
Judge Thompson announced that he
could not hold the prisoner, and that
he would discharge him as IN object
lesson to other adulterers.
Never was q crowd more demonstra.
tive in Its appreciation than was the
immense throng in the police court
when Judge Thompson announced In
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 his verdict was appre-
ciated. There was evidently not a
soul in the court, save the attorneys
for the prosecution and perhaps some
friends of the dead man, but who was
pleased with the verdict.
When the Judge had finished and
iffse iffaeA1xs HIS hthl tl,e lRst AQrd fallen from
tinued fully twenty minutes. In vain
did the bailiff endeavor to restore Or
der. but 1t was of no avail, and not
until the vast throng had departed
from the rooms was order restored,
and even after entering the streets the
cheering was kept up. In explanation
the Judge said there was no evidence
of guilt on Gordon's part. but the adul-
terer and a,lultress stood ON the verge
of an abyss of ruin and death, and
their fate was only what could be ex-
pected.
Thus ends the last chapter to the
most sensational tragedy in the his.
tory of Kentucky.
