CAPTAIN HOWGATE FREED
A jury Declares the Ex.Signal Man Not
Guilty
One OF the Most Remarkable Cases on Record.
Detectives Hunted for Him
for Years


Howgate, formerly disbursing clerk OF
the Signal Service, who has been on trial
here since January % on two indictments
charging him with embezzlement and
forgery, was today acquitted of the
charges. The case was given to the iury
at noon on Thursday last and it was not
until noon today that a verdict was
reached. On the first ballot, it is said,
the vote stood seven to five for acquittal.
The jury reported on yesterday their
inability to agree, but Judge McComas
insisted that they should remain and
try again
The Howgate trial has been unusual in
many ways. Fourteen years ago import
ant frauds affecting large sums OF money
were discovered in the Signal Service
accounts, and Howgate was charged with
having committed them. He was ar
rested, but by a ruse escaped from his
guards and for thirteen years remained
in New York City. Although reward
of $4,000 was offered for his capture he
was not arrested until last fall. At the
beginning of the trial there was hot
legal battle in regard to the validity of the
indictments on which it was proposed to
try Howgate. They were finally sus-
tained and the case tried on its merits.
The jury found that the case was not
barred by the statute of limitations, but
held that Howgate was not guilty of the
particular offenses charged. After the
verdict was reached Howgate was taken
back to await trial on the seven indict-
ments remaining against him. 1t is not
known which of these will first beltried.

The Chronicle reports as to the crop conditions were on the whole favorable but they had no in fiuence, today being merely confirmatory of private adyices received during the week. The outlook in Texas and Louisiana is still far from favorable, even though there has been some improvement within week or ten days. And the local market responds readily to the bullsh news from any source. The bank clearings in this country during the past week have been over 35 per cent larger than. during the same week last year. and about the same as in the cor responding week of 1892, showing surpris- ing gain. mot only as Compared with the figures of last year. but also as compared with those of 1892.
