WRONGLY CONVICTED OF THEFT.
Appellate Court Says That No THEFT Was Ever
Proven In RoEern,s Case.

District Attorney Olcott was notified yester
day that the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court had reversed the conviction of William
Rogers, who in April last was sentenced to Sing
Sing prison for seven years on q charge OF
larceny.
Rogers was convicted on the testimony of O
detective sergeant, who testified that he had
seen Rogers brush against a man in a crowd at
Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street. and that q
few minutes later the strangers watch chain
was picked up in the gutter. The detective
failed to produce the man who he said had lost
time that because his client was an ex-convict
the police put up a job to railroad him to prison.
In the decision rendered the court says
There was nothing to show that the defendant
touched the man whose watch was said to have
been taken. or that any watch whatever had
been taken,o or that any effort was made by the
defendant to take any mans watch" Rogers
will have q new trial,

THE LONDON MARKETS
Money Plentiful and Business Pros
poets Are Fair

LONDON, July 11.-Money has been
plentiful during the week, owing to the
payment of treasury bills on balance
June rates are expected to rule at this
present low level, but slight hardening
is expected in August on the considera-
ton of the million and half to be paid
to Japan and the usual autumn require
ments, which may be increased by ad-
ditional japanese. and New York re-
quirements. Owing to increased Amer
lean purchases of English goods, the
prospect is good. Exports to New York
may be on a reduced scale. The stock
markets show the usual holiday dull
ness, though there is fair amount of
investment buying, which, with the
cheapness of money, is forcing up gilt
edged securities. This is partly due to
the belief that no action will be taken
on the currency question during the
present or next session of congress.
The mining market has lacked ami
nation and the changes on balances
were downward.
