JOSEPH WILLIAMS ACQUITTED.
derinE the COlOred Bully,
Moses Gaines.

Joseph Williams was yesterday acquitted
by jury in the district court. Kansas
City. Kas., OF the charge of murder in the
first degree. The jury was out only q
few minutes when the verdict of acquittal
was reached.
Williams is the second man to be acquit-
ted of murder in the first degree in this
court during the past week. Charles Vices,
who stabbed Hector Rineeis to death De-
cember 26. was acquitted, Thursday. Will
Jams was tried for thrusting the blade of
a pocket-knife into the heart of Moses
Gaines, colored man. The killing took
place on the morning of January IA, on
the dock Of the Armour packing house.
There has always been more or less mys-
terry about the killing of Gaines, notwith
standing he was killed in the midst of
fully l50 men and boys. Gaines and white
man became engaged in quarrel. and
Gaines was very abusive. Williams, who
was a perfect stranger to every man on
the dock. said Gaines should not impose
upon man so much smaller than he.
Gaines quickly took up the remark made
by Williams. and before half dozen words
had been passed between them, Gaines
struck Williams in the mouth with his
fist: They clinched. and during the alter
cation. Gaines was stabbed in the heart.
The fight was witnessed by many peo-
pie. but sufficient evidence was not Sc
cured GH,,ta to fasten the crime upon anyone.
Of the men and no one knew the identity
OF the man who had scuff1ed with Gaines,
and who, 1t was presumed. killed him. He
went to his father; machinist in the en-
pioy Of the Pittsburg & Gulf road. and
told Of the alteration which he had had
with the colored man.. That night when
young Williams father learned that
GaiEes was dead he surrendered his son
to Sheriff Longfellow. The state made a
very weak case. 1t had practically no
substantial evidence to use in behalf of
the prosecution.
Williams was defended by Attorney Jay
L; Carlisle, assisted by Attorney Maurice
Alden. Mr.. Carlisle was admitted to the
bar only few months ago1and Mr. Alden
was admitted last Tuesday. about twenty
four hours before he enlisted his services
in the defense of Williams. Both of the
young lawyers are very popular in Kan
sas City. Kas.. and a large number of the
older members Of the bar were present
to witness their efforts in the case.
Messrs. Carlisle and Alden surprised the
older members of the profession. After
be as joyous as was the defendant Mr..
Alden is the son of Judge Alden. Mr.. Car
Isle has lived here the greater part of his
life.

THE CRIME OF GROWING OLD.
Sad Experience of an Aged Man Who
Is Forced to Appeal to Public
Charity for Aid.

An old man. past the allotted three score
years and ten, trembling beneath the bur-
den Of age and scarcely able to see. sat in
Humane Officer Greenman's office yesterday
afternoon and told a pitiful story of the
treatment he had received at the hands of
his children. He said he had been turned
out of home and was not permitted to see
his aged wife. He went yesterday morning
to the Helping Hand institute and was
taken by the secretary of that institution
to the humane officer.
The old man was DR.. Cornelius Low. who
came to Kansas City to spend his last days
with his children. He is native of New
York, where he practiced medicine until
twelve years ago, when he came to this
city. Five years ago he fell on the Slip
perry pavement in front of the New York
Life building; the effect of the fall was
that his eyesight was nearly totally de-
stroyed. He claimed yesterday that his
children had cared for him as long as he
was able to do chores and pay for the
board Of himself and his wife. Yesterday
his son. Ozias Low, who lives at Thir-
teenth and Indiana avenue. ordered him.
he said, to leave the house. He said he
had been confined to his room for two
weeks and during that time they had
scarcely given him enough food to keep
him alive. He told the humane officer he
had begged repeatedly for water but that
his daughter-in-law had refused to bring
him the water. Officer Greenman will in
veStigate the case. .

Lively Time at Central Po-
lice Station.

John Holmes, a blacksmith, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Officer Mckinney
and turned over to Officer James. in charge
of the patrol wagon. for safe keeping.
While being taken to Central police station
Holmes attempted to strike Officer James
and proved SO unruly that a charge of
drunk and disorderly was placed against
him at the station. When Jailer William
Smith started to search Holmes before
taking him to cell, he suddenly tripped
the jailer and at the same time struck Off
Ger James: They grappled with him, and
he fell to the floor. pulling the officers down
and feet: and half dozen officers sprang
to the aid of Officer James and the jailer.
Lieutenant Moran ordered them not to
strike the man. and in attempting to handle
him with as little roughness as possible
the officers were knocked right and left by
the burly blacksmith. He was finally land
ed in cell. where he yelled that he was a
train robber. desperado, and threatened
dire vengeance on the heads of the police
men. In his drunken frenzy he tore up
the cell fixtures and broke one of the bars
with a bunk leg. 1t was not until nearly
10 o'clock last night that he Quieted down.

MUSIC s0OTHEs THE COURT.
Peace Fiddle Themselves to
Freedom.

Among the police court offenders ar
raigned before Police Judge Manning in
Kansas City. Kas., yesterday were John
Dickerson and Harry Highley. They are
both violinists and were arrested Friday
night while playing in joints on James
street for the drinks.
When the musicians were called before
the judge and the charge of disturbing the
peace read they answered not guilty. Judge
Manning said he did not like to send the
prisoners to jail If they had not disturbed
some ones peace. For fear the officers
who made the arrest might have exceeded
their authority he ordered the instruments
brought into the court room and turned
over to the prisoners.
Now. said Judge Manning, II want
you to give me sample of your playing
and then I shall decide whether or not
you were disturbing the peace last night"
The musicians played until Judge Man
ming fairly danced to the music Of their
fiddles. They were familiar with the
courts weakness and played several Irish
jigs. The other prisoners who were await
ing trial grew impatient. but the judge was
charmed. After the fiddlers had played
several selections Judge Manning told them
to box up their fiddles and go their way
in peace. They were told to play as much
as they wanted to In Joints or elsewhere.

of saving her life. When the usual anti

the police matron. On account of the guam
tity of morphine she had taken. however.
she could not sleep. and Mrs. Lee. the po-
lice matron, sat up with her. About
O'Clock yesterday morning she walked about
the apartments OF the police matron and
talked at length of her rash act. She cried
at times. and said she had no one in the
world who cared for her. and since her
parents and her sisters death she had
nothing to live for. She told Mrs. Lee that
she had failed to secure work even as a
kitchen girl. Mrs. Lee promised to find her
q home as soon as she had recovered from
the effects of the poison. About 4:3o the
young woman was sitting on the edge or
Mrs. Lees bed telling her OF her mother.
Mrs. Lee begged her TO 20 to her bed and
go to sleep, as she needed the rest. The
girl reached over and kissed Mrs. Lee sew

the surgeons worked until she would be

Many times yesterday she moaned in her
