Learning of His Failure, Invest-
ed Large Sum for His Benefit.

Fostoria, Ohio, Nov, 11.--Dur;ng the
years OF his prosperity Charles Foster was
known far and wide for his liberality 3nd
kindness for others less fortunate than
himself. He was always the first 10 sub
scribe to any enterprise which promised
to be OF benefit-to the community, and was
known as a man who never, under any
circumstances, foreclosed a mortgage.
Many years ago when his father built
the house now occupied by Mr.. Fosters
mother. the contractor was a man named
Johnson, who is some way became involved
SO that his home was to be sold by the
sheriff Learning Of the mans trouble,
Mr.. Foster advanced the money to release
the mortgage, with little, If any, hope
of ever getting any return.
After time Mr.. johnson went West
and passed ouI of the minds OF his friends
here and has since died. Eefore his death,
however, he told his sons how Mr.. fos-
ter had befriended him and how grateful
he lelt for the great service.
The sons prospcred and Mr.. Foster failed.
They invested a large amount, $50 900, 1t
is said, in smelling works between Denver
and Cripple Greek, in AIR. Fosters name,
but SAID nothing to Mr.. Foster until the
success Of the project was fully assured.
Mr.. Foster has been made II director IN
the concern and has gone to- Denver to at
tend "A meeting OF the directors. II Is said
that the works are paying large dividends.

CLEARED HIM OF FORGERY
Jury's Verdict in the Famous Hume
Pickrell Note Case.
Seventh Trial Of the Issue Results
In a Finding for the Plaintiff ana
ExOnerates Mr. Hume.

After being in consultation all night,
Jury this morning rendered a verdict in
the suit of William Is. Thompson against
Mary E. Pickrell. This is a celebrated
legal contest and involves about $50 goo.
Already there have been six trials, and the
one Just decided was the seventh.
The suit originally brought was on the
recovery OF $7,665. SO, the amount of i
nole drawn by Thomas L. Hume, and in
dursed by Mr.. Pickrell. Two months after
the first SUIT was filed in February, 1881,
Mr.. Hume died.
By various technicalites the case was
tried six times, and on the second trial
Mrs. Pickrell claimed that Mr.. Hume,
who was her sen-in-law had forged Mr.
Pickrelrs name. The suit was brought
by the receiver or the German American
National Bank, now defunct.
The main question in the last trial was
the genulneness of reimbursement Among
the experts who testified was Prof Ed
Il. Hay, who swore that in his Judgment
the Endorsement was genuine.
The verdict OF the jury is for the full
amount and fully eXoEcrates Mr.. Hume
from the imputation of forgery. Mr.. Leigh
Robinson represented the plaintiff.
