a Lantern In Court.

After Eleven Minutes DeIiberation the
Jury Returned a Verdict Restoring
the Accused Man to His Family
and Making Everybody Happy.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-There was a
fearful but very happy little family in
part of the general sessions yester,
day, when Bernard H. Blumenthal was
acquitted of the charge of arson, and
three little girls were the heroines Of
the hour. They had secured their ia
theirs release.
When S-year-old Bessie Bumenthal
built a jack-o' lantern sitting ON the
floor before Recorder Golf and a jury,
she opened the prison doors for her fa-
Their, who was charged with setting fire
to his confectionery and toy store at
4S5 East Eighty-second street on
Sept. s.
After II minutes elaboration a YER
dict of not guilty was rendered by the
fury.
BlumenthaPs family was in court.
When the verdict was announced Mrs.
Blumenthal, who had been rocking her
self to and fro in an agony of apprehen-
sion, burst into tears and gathered her
children to her. They were not long
in her arms. however for spectators
and court officers shook hands with the
little girls till the children were totally
bewildered.
Blumenthal stood waiting impatient
ly before the bar until Recorder Golf
told him he was free to go as he chose.
Stopping only long enough to make a
profound bow of gratitude to the court,
he rushed out to his family, and then
there was such a scene of rejoicing as
the courtroom had seldom seen before.
Men and women crowded about the
acquitted man and shook both his
hands Blumenthal made his way
through the crowd and, catching up
Bessie in his arms, carried her out of
the courtroom, followed by the others.
THE little un did 1t with her jack
lantern" said a gray haired court Of
ficer, with a suspicious moisture in his
eyes.
Blumenthal was surrounded by lot
of damaging circumstantial evidence
when the case against him was started,
but the story of his S-year-old daughter
that while papa and mamma were at
the synagogue she and the other chill
dren played at war and used lanterns,
which they made themselves. in their
mimic march, turned the tide.
