DECLARED NOT GUILTY.
Verdict Yesterday in an Alleged
Rape Case.

Verdict Yesterday in an Alleged
Rape Case.
Two young colored men, William Glenn
in Criminal Court No. l yesterday of the
charge Of rape on Mary Settle, an elderly
colored woman, the evening Of the Goth of
last month, just south of the Soldiers
Home grounds.
The woman testified that the men ac-
costed her rear the locality about . o'clock
in the evening of the day in question, pre-
tending that they were policemen, and that
they were about to arrest her. They drag
ged Eer some distance, when her screams
were heard by John D. Nauck. He went to
her assistance, when the men threatened
to shoot him. A stone battle followed be-
tween Mr.. Nauck and the men. Mr.. Nauck
went off for assistance. and while he was
gone the woman stated that the prisoners
assaulted her. She positively identified
them, as did Mr.. Nauck, who corroborated
the woman's story.
On behalf Of the defendants, Attorney
Fountain Peyton stated to the jury that
the men would prove complete albi. and
would also show that they are young men
Of good character. After a great many
witnesses had given the men a good char
acter, and had stated that they were many
squares distant from the scene Of the al
legged crime at the time it was said to have
occurred, the defendants swore that they
were not together on the evening in ques-
ton, and that they did not see the woman
at all that evening. The men also swore
that they never saw each other before
meeting in Jail.
After celebrating nearly two hours the
jury retul ned verdict of not guilty as to
each n an.

THE CHOICE APPROVED.

Antt-AdministrNtiOn Democrats Are
Pleased With Mr.. Gardner.
The news that Mr.. Lawrence Gardner had
been chosen by the District democratic dele
cation at Chicago to represent the District
Of Columbia on the democratic national
committee for the next four years was
quickly spread around Washington yester-
day as coon as the wires brought 1t from
Chicago, and there was a general express
sion Of satisfaction in democratic circles
not identified VITA the administration wing
Of the party.
Chairman Thos. B. Kalbfus of the DEM
ocratic central committee, said he was
very much pleased to see Mr.. Gardner vic
torious. Il said to The Star some time
ago that 1 did not see how Mr. Gardner
could possibly be beaten for the place. I'm
heartily glad he got 1t. No man in the
party. here or elsewhere, has given more
devoted efforts to the advance ment of its
interests, and as secretary for many years
OF the democratic congressional commit
tee, and secretary also of the National
Association Of Democratic Clubs, he has
secured an intimate acQuaint Ance with the
leaders of the party In all sections, and an
intimate knowledge of it's conditions and
necessities.
He will be a valuable member of the
committee and every one can rest assured
that he viii take good care of the interests
of the District democrats on all occasions
Now, hope to see my prophecy that John
X Mclean will be the presidential nomi-
nee at Chicago also fulfilled"
At the headquarters of the democratic
congressional committee on 18th street
everybody was jubilant over Mr. Gardner's
good fortune. and the colored hall boy
greeted visitors with smile that showed
every tooth in his head. To readers of The
Evening Star the announcement of Mr.
Gardner's election comes with no surprise
as Its political articles for the past six
months have shown that Mr.. Gardner had
virtually been pledged the support of the
majority of the delegates chosen at the
Academy of Music convention, in whose
election Mr.. Gardner bore the most i'm
pOrtant part
