FRENGER NOW FREE.
He Was Yesterday Acquitted by the
Staunton Jury.

STAUNTON. VA, March H-(spe
cial.)-Robert N. Frenger, who has beer
on trial for the past six days, charged
with the murder Of Edward Merritt
walked out Of court this afternoon free
man. The jury was out but few min
utes. All day long they listened to the ar
guments of the counsel
Colonel ]. II. Crosier opened for the de-
fence, and. reviewing the law of the case
closed his speech with a touchlngly elo-
quent peroration which brought tears to
the jury's eyes. From this point 1t was
evident that the Commonwealth would
secure no conviction. Next for the de-
fence came Captain James Bumgardner,
whose twenty years service has familiar
ICED him with the tactics OF criminal
trials. He made a powerful speech for
the prisoner, and with telling effect set
forth the story Of the defence Owing TO
the continued illness OF Commemorative
Attorney White, the duty of closing the
prosecution Unexpectedly fell to young
Mr. Ker, the prosecutors assistant, who
made the opening speech Saturday. Mr.
Ker delivered a strong and incisive
speech, but the case was already lost, and
the argument of the prosecuting counsel
could not prevail.
AS the jury pronounced It's verdict, from
Frenger's friends broke forth a storm OF
cheers, which were Joined In by two wo-
men. The young mans aged grandmother,
mother. father and sisters shed many
tears. With difficulty was order restored.
Tonight Frenger went to his sick wife
and for the first time saw the face of his
firstborn, child whose birthday was the
beginning of his fathers trial for murder.
Merritt. the deceased. belonged to one
of the most prominent families OF the

The statement comes from the City OF
Mexico that there is a bitter feeling
there among the leading European mer-
chants against Americans. especially
since the close OF the war with Spain:
attributable. the dispatch says. TO the
fear that Is felt that the Amer
leans win drive the Europeans out Of
the profitable trade they now enjoy with
and in the Mexican republic. 1t is fact
well known to those VINO have inter
course with Mexico that nowhere in the
new world is the influence OF Spain so
potent as in Mexico. and that nowhere
Spanish merchants are so successful in
nonopolIzing the best Of the business.
The Europeans VINO feel bitter toward
and fear US, we NAV be sure. therefore.
are largely spaniards 1t is said that
they dread the advent OF the Spanish
merchants. whom they imagine will be
forced out OF Havana by American COM
petition and Cuban disAke President
Dlaz is one OF the greatest statesmen
Mexico has ever produced and his great
est exhibition OF far-seeing statecraft IS
In his cultivation OF the friendliest and
closest relations with the United States.
The subsidized press. which is opposed
to the government foments all the jeal-
Ousy it can against Americans. while
The government organs do their utmost
to show their friendliness and that OF
the people and the government toward
our people They feel that the develop
ment OF their country is more assured
and far more safe with our friendly CO.
operation than through any other that
offers. Our interest, they know. is
wholly commercial. while the Interior and
Intriguing objects Of Europeans they
know they have just cause 20 fear. For
this reason the Mexicans may well pray
for relief from the thralldom they are
under from Europeans. by making ii
more and more possible for Americans to
supersede them.
