VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.
Clarence B. James Acquitted of a
Charge of Adultery.

Clarence B. James. who was charged
with adultery in Criminal Court No. l to-
day was acquitted The circumstances at
tending the offense charged shown by
the Government are that on April Il
last the defendant James married Mary
Elizabeth Francis Ryan, in this city. and
on September Il he married Martha How
ell, OF Falls Church, Va, at Manassas, the
ceremony being performed by c. w. Troy
man. 1t was shown in evidence that he
only had an acquaintance of few weeks
with his wives before marrying them.
The marriages were admitted by the
defense, and James attorney. +. S.
Mitchell, intended making a plea of in
sanity. but it was developed during the
testimony of Mrs. James No. 2 Martha
Howell that no act of consummation of
her marriage was done in the District, so
the charge of adultery fell through, and
Chief Justice Bingham, who presided at
the trial, instructed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty.
A great deal of sympathy was expressed
for Miss Howell on account of the un-
fortunate position in which she is placed.
She Is a very handsome girl, nineteen
years of age. with large, luminous, dark
eyes which filled with tears as she told
her pitiful story on the witness stand.
She lived with her uncle and aunt at
Falls Church. but, she said this morning,
that now they refuse to let her return
to their home.
After the trial both the women to whom
James was married met in the marshars
office, and Mrs. James No. l remarked TO

ed Ii Is his due to receive from us all
that support which his bearing and con-
duct from this time on may justify. He
has declared that he is going to use his
power for the best interests of the COM
monwealth. That means. among other
things that he Is going to do his utmost
TO develop and dignity individual citi-
zenship. and that means that he is going

Cigarettes Cause CopyuIsion.

Patrick Mahoney, twenty-five years

PLATT AND NOT ROOSEVELT.
DIR. ParLhurst's Idea of New YoriS's
Next Governor.

To give public expression of his views
on the result of the election the Rev. DR..
Charles II. Parkhurst wrote the follow
ing letter:
THE adherence with which l regard
everything that bears the name of Tam
many of course renders Van Wyck's de-
feat deliciously palatable.
THE one bitter drop in the cup which
| drink this morning is that while yes
terday's election makes one of our two
bosses a little weaker. it makes the 9TH
er, and the more dangerous one, a great
deal stronger. This is not saying that
Mr.. Roosevelt will in any slavish way
yield to Mr.. Platts dictai:on, but it is
saying that the great dominating infiu-
ence in the State this morning is Platt
and not Roosevelt. 1t is Platt who has
worked the machine that has ground out
the governor, and it is Platt who has
worked the machine that has ground out
the legislature.
THE sad feature of the situation is
that the power which such mee wie,d is
only the power which individual citizens
have ignominiously surrendered to them.
and Mr.. Platt's ascendancy in the State
today means that hundreds of thou
sands of men who ought to have some
respect for themselves are willing to be

Democratic Gains.

The meager return Of the elections
smashed into smithereens the forecasts
and calculations of the managers of the
campaigns of both parties. Although
both party managers claim the control
Of Congress by a small majority, study
of the figures of the vote polled, and a
comparison with the election figures of
previous years show the presence of
great apathy in the Republican party.
The elections in the various Eastern
States show a Republican gain in the
national Legislature, but the early reports
from the West and South show a de-
crease in the members to represent the
Republicans in Congress The only con-
dolence the defeated party will have is
to drink Heurich's beers so as to gain
strength in the next national campaign
