A LAWYERS ERROR.
His Own Act Invited IrreguIarity and
Thus Secured His Client
New Trial.

A new trial has been granted to E. G..
Hawley, alias Edward G. Haywood, who
was convicted of burglary in the Superior
Court. The reversal was based on the ir-
regular proceedings which were allowed
after the case went to the jury.
The jury had been out several hours,
when the members asked to be allowed to
address the court. They stated that no
agreement could be reached unless they
were allowed to view the premises where
the burglary took place. This the Judge
finally allowed after the earnest request of
the defendant and his counsel and after
motion to that effect by counsel for de-
tense. 1t was then late in the evening,
and again upon motion OF the defense
the jury was allowed to separate until the
morning.
IN the morning, when the jury came
INTO court, defendants counsel moved for
a DISMISSAL of the charge on the ground
lhat the proceedings were irregular and
amounted TO an acquittal. The Judge be-
CAIue angry and refused then to allow the
jury tt view the premises. He denied the
motlon 10 discharge the prisoner and or
uereo the jury to retire. A verdict for
9onVlctlon was rendered and an appeal
was taken. Tie prisoner has been granted

Ten two-year-olds started in three and

and they caused starter Caldwell world
Of trouble. Each rider evidently had Or
ders to get away in front, for nearly an
hour and twenty minutes elapsed before
the starter could drop his bunting to any

Lord Chesterfield and Colonel Wheeler,

There was not much to the race when
they were finally sent away the first part

there was strong south wind the blrds

KELLY Is IN LUCK.
The Young gWindow-Smasher Finds Two
Kind Friends.

Thomas Kelly, the young man who
smashed window IN Chinatown in order
to get into prison, where he could obtain
enough food to keep him from starv-
ing, is in luck. Yesterday morning
P. II. @. Sandy, 41e Sansome street, and
DR.. Sehlesin ger, McAllister street, called
at police headquarters and asked per-
mission from Captain Healey to see Kelly.
They went to the prison and questioned
Kelly about his Philadelphia experience,
and his answers were satisfactory
They then waited upon Judge Joachim
sen, and on their representations the
charge of malicious mischief was dis
missed. DR.. Schlesinger promised that
Kelly would have plenty to eat and drink,
and Sandy will give him employment.
This satisfactory outcome of KelIy's ex-
perience may result in many more broken
windows i'll Chinatown, as the City is full
of deserving young people who are not
able to find employment by which they
can support themselves.

Young Garner landed two winners yes
terday.
Nc cFarlane, who was extensively backed
to win the opening event, was almost left
at the post.
True Blue, winner of the two-year-old
race, is a full brother to Carmel.
The stewards have decided to decline the
entry of Pescador in future. The horse is
a notoriously bad actor and ofttimes the
chances of many good horse are ruined
by the unruly one-eyed horse at the post.
For the first time at the meeting the
claiming clause, which permits of an
owner having an entry in race claiming
any one of the other starters, regardless of
where the animal finishes, upon payment
of the entered selling price and first money
of the purse contributed for, was taken
advantage of yesterday. Unity, the chest
nut gelding by Rossington- Unite, owned
by Louis Ezell, was entered in the third
race to be sold for $500. The horse fin
ished third, and was claimed by tom"

denly a dangerous contender sprang up.
True Blue, a II to l chance, had been
gamely striding toward the front from the
rear and a sixteenth from home challenged
the leader, who was unable to respond
and was cleverly beaten out by length.
Bergen, who seems to be OF the improving
kind, was good third.
The attendance was quite up to the aver
age, and some lively speculatlng was in
dulged in. On account of the long delay
at the post in the two-year-old event, the
management were compelled to postpone
the deciding of the last race on the card
until the day following.
The track, which is drying fast, was too
heavy for very fast time. Favorites cap
tured two events; a second choice and two
outsiders proving successful in the others.

eleven starters, opened the days sport.

the coin went IN on hazard and Unity,

sent Lizzie H out, and she passed the wire
two lengths before Pique, who finished
strong under Coady's riding. Unity was
only fair third.
Andy Blakeley's jumper, Colonel Weight

poor showing. Three Forks was in front

badly at the end, won by three lengths

The Charge Against Him Dismissed FOR
Lack of Prosecution.
The case against John E. Ford, charged
with an assault to murder his wife, was
discharged by Judge Campbell yesterday
for lack of prosecution.
In November last Ford, blinded by ieal-
ousy and liquor, fired three shots at his
wife in the Rosedale House, 321 Ellis
street, each taking effect. She recovered
and was able to visit him at the City
Prison on Decem ber q. Early next morn
ing Ford cut his throat with a razor. sew
ering the windpipe, and it was thought he
could not recover. DR.. Fitzgibbon took
particular interest in the case and under
his treatment and the careful nurs-
ing of his wife Ford was able to leave the
hospital yesterday afternoon. He was
taken to 107 Taylor street, where his wife
has been living. Husband and wife are
now thoroughly reeonciled.

The Gate at Picturesque Ingleside Free to

This, the concluding day of the meeting
at Ingleside, will be Ladies' day, the gate
as usual being free to the members of the

The track will be in good condition and
the management have made a special
effort in arranging a racecard above the
average for excellence. An event out of
the ordinary groove and one that is bound
to excite great interest will be the two
mile contest. Stamina and staying quail
ties serve in good stead in a contest of
this sort, and with the game Cadmus,
Julia o, Cicero and J 0 G among the start
ers, grand struggle may be looked for
ward to.

render some selections especially selected
