The first witness yesterday was Ollie
Summers. a coiored man. who testified
regarding tan shoes Worn by Darlington
before the burglary.
Arch Johnson. another colored man.
testified 10 having been with Darlington
at Clark's poker room before the bur-
glary. and that he wore tan shoes.
John Williams. employed at Mrs. Har-
den's, testified to the shoes being found
after the burglary, and that he had
seen Darlington wear such shoes.
George Wilson testified that he had
come over from the Island on the sus-
pension bridge at 2:12 O'Clock. on the
| morning of the burglary. Just when
coming on the bridge he saw Marshall
Darlington standing near the fence at
the rear OF Logan's drug store, which is
near the scene OF the burglary. He had
said, 'Hullo. Marshall" and walked on.
Darlington had responded to his saluta-
ton.
Mrs. Harden was recalled by the state
and testified that Darlington and Car
rington's wife were familiar with her
manner Of keeping money in the house.
and that they knew she had more
money than usual between the first and
tenth OF each month.
ringtons ankle had been sprained and
that his shin was scratched. He be-
lleved the injuries came from dropping
from q considerable height on some
thing sharp.
DR.. G. A. Aschmann testified to hav-
ing been awakened by Mrs. Harden's
cries, and that he had found her lying
on the floor Of her room lnsensible. her
neck black from being choked and her
face scratched and bitten.
The only witness for the defense was
the defendant himself. Darlington said
he spent the night before the robbery in
saloons and poker rooms about town.
He left the White Cloud about o'clock
and went to his home. En- route he fell
and spyained his ankle, he said. He
heard the clock strike after he had
reached his home. He was awakened
the next morning by Chief of Police
Bennett. who searched the house and
then arrested him. On cross-examina-
ton he denied any connection with the
Harden burglary, and also denied hav-
ing been convicted In the circuit court
of Mercer county some nine or ten years
ago. He could not remember where he
spent the years 1888. 1889 and 1890. the
period when the state asserts he was
serving n sentence ut the Moundsvile
penitenuary on the Mercer county con-
viction.
Nc other witnesses were called by the
defense, and In the afternoon the argu-
ments began. For the state Mr.. W. C..
Meyer. the prosecuting attorney. OPEN
ed. making very strong plea for con-
viction. He was followed by Mr.
Charles ]. Schuck, whose handling Of
the rather weak case OF the defense was
remarkably strong and elected great
deal OF favorable comment from those
who heard the young lawyers address
to the jury. The closing address was
by Mr.. John A. Howard, who was ASSOC
ciated with the prosecuting attorney In
the conduct OF the prosecution. and Of
course 1t goes without saying that he
made the most Of the overwhelming
mass OF testimony which the state had
built In support OF the Indictment.

Marshall Darlington Found
Guilty of the Harden Burglary.
JURY WASOUT SEVERAL HOURS
Before it Could Reach its Verdict,
Unable for a Time to Agree on tile
Sufiicicncy of the Proof of the hIcr-
Ger County Observation-Disclosures
Went on the Stand in his own Be-
half and Denied Everything.

The trial OF the young colored man.
Marshall Darlington, indicted for the
sensational Harden burglary. ended last
night in the criminal court, Judge HUI
gus on the bench, the jury bring
ing in aYerdict OF guilty as charged
in the Indictment and agreeing to the
sufi1ciency OF the proof Of n former con-
viction In Mercer county, this state.
Darlington may be sentenced to serve
fifteen years for this crime. and cannot
be sentenced to serve less than six
years. The penalty for the crime is one
to ten years imprisonment, and the for
mer conviction counts for five years id
dltional confinement.
The jury got the case at sos o'clock
yesterday afternoon. At 6 o'clock the
jury went to the hotel fer supper, and
at 7:3O resumed It's consideration OF the
case. Nothing was heard from the jury
room until S:45 o'clock, when the judge
was informed that the jury had a ques-
ton to ask the court. Thereupon the
jury was brought into the court room.
and the question was asked whether the
jury could eliminate from consideration
the former conviction in the circuit
court Of Mercer county. The court re-
piled that the jury must come to some
conclusion on this phase Of the case as
we'll as on the burglary itself. Then
the jury again retired, and at 9:15 p. m.
came in with Its verdict. which was that
the prisoner was found guilty as
charged in the indictment. The court
inquired IL the jury had found the pris-
oner guilty in the Mercer county case
| as well.
Guilty of BOTH" responded Foreman
George He'll.
Thereupor the form OF the verdict was
changed to read as follows:
I'VE, the jury find the defendant
guilty as charged in the within indict-
ment, and we further find that he has
been sentenced In the United States IL
the circuit court OF Mercer county,West
Virginia. to confinement and punish
ment In the penitentiary."
The jury was pol!ed and each member
acQuiesced in the verdict as read.
Mr.. Charles Schuck, counsel for the
prisoner, made the usual motion fo- the
setting aside Of the verdict and the
granting OF new trial. which will be
argued later. The court and attorneys
conferred with regard to the time when
the trial Of Darlington on the charge OF
pur!olning watch from the Harden
home on another occasion would be be-
gun. but no decision was reached. This
matter will likely be decided to-day.
Darlington received the verdict with
out apparent feelin:;;. There was n con-
siderable attendance of spectators at
the time the verdict was rendered.

Members of Tenth Cavalry Ter
rorize Texarkana.
DYNAMITE WAS PURCHASED
And Citizens Were Determined to Blow
Up the Military Train if The
Soldiers Had Fired
Into the Crowd.

Texarkana, Ark, February 2.-The riot
Gus conduct of members of the Tenth Unit
ed States cavalry while passing through
Texarkana has been reported to the war de-
partment and will be made the subject Of
an official inquiry. Congressman j. L. Shep-
pard, of Texas, has laid the mater before
Secretary Ager.
Every railroad station from Little Rock
to Texarkana shows signs of the soldiers
depredations. The sgnboard on every depot
designating the colored waiting room was
demolished.
When the first train reached Texarkana,
the drunken negroes began throwing empty
whisky bottles upon the station platform
and shattering them against the walls. Over
one hundred of these bottles were thrown
and broken ON the station. Eight went
to a house occupied by white woman and
broke down the door. The woman fled and
the negro soldiers entered the parlor, broke
the furniture and fired three shots through
the ceiling. All were armed with loaded
Krag-Jorgenson rifles.
Colonel Kemp, in command of the regi-
ment, and other officers, were in the station
dining-room while the rioting was in prog
ress outside. The colonel came to the door
lust as Constable Rohelle was running from
the mob and he demanded to know the cause
of the trouble. A negro soldier sul!enly NUT
tered that nobody could take a member
of that regiment"
The colonel stormed at the soldier for his
insolence and the latter Strengthened up
and saluted the colonel. Colonel Kemp then
ordered the men inside the cars and posted
guards outside. The regimental officers
made no effort, it is alleged, to assist in
finding the men wanted here. During the
riot, ninety pounds of dynamite was pur-
chased by citizens from local hardware
stores and was in possession of the crowd
around the cars, ready to blow up the train
had the negroes fired into the crowd.

FURTHER INQUIRY
Will Be Made Into Charges Against the
Court of Cessation.

Paris, February 2-The committee of the
chamber of deputies having the govern
ment's revision bill in charge, has issued
a note to the effect that as a result of
the representations of its members, the min
lister of justice has agreed to invite Presi-
dent Mazeaus committee to make further
INQUIRY into the charges brought against
tho criminal section of the court of cassa-
>tion by NJ. Quesnay de Beaurepaire. tho
former president of the civil section of that
body, and to furnish supplementary re-
port on the subject.
1t appears that the committees examina-
ton of the documents submitted by M. Ma
zeau revealed numerous gaps. In an inqui
ry made into some of the allegations there
were no answers from those seemingly in
criminated.
After consulting with the cabinet this
morning the Premier, M. Dupuy, and the
minister of justice, M. Lebret, met the re-
vision committee and promised to institute
the additional inquiry demanded.

JUDGE WIN. B. H0RNBlOWER
Says the Tammany Leader is at Vari-
ance With New York Democracy
On Question of Imperialism.
The Policy is Wrong.
JUDGE WIN. B. H0RNBLOWER

Atlanta, February 2.-Hon. William B.
Hornblower the New York jurlst is in At
lanta on the case of the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad company VS.. the Augusta
Southern Railroad company, before the su-
preme court. As to his views on expansion,
Judge Hornblower said:
81 am opposed to occupying the Philip
pines minute longer than is necessary for
the discharge of such moral obligations as
we may have assumed by interference in
their affairs up to this time. What these
moral obligations are Is a question on
which men may honestly differ.
81 am opposed absolutely and on prin-
ciple to the so-called policy of expansion or
imperialism. A republican form OF govern
ment Is absolutely inconsistent with the
whole theory or scheme of foreign conquest
and sovereignty over foreign countries and
peoples"
Judge Hornblower was asked what he
thought of Richard Croker's entrance into
national politics. He replied that de did not
think the Tammany leader was any more of
a figure in national affairs than he has
formerly been.
''As to matters of national policy he
said, "Mr Croker represents nobody but
Mr.. Croker. In local politics. it is true. he
is a great power, but he does not control
the convictions or the opinions of the de-
mocracy of New York state.
~ wish you would emphasize the fact that
Mr.. Croker does not represent the New
York democracy on this question, for he is
directly at variance with it,

Against Gov Johnston.

HIS ACCUSATIONS RESENTED

Montgomery, February 2.-(Special,)
bill to abolish the commissioners court of
Jefferson county had its first inning in
the house at the afternoon session. Its
friends scored victory.
The matter was brought before the house
by a motion made by Mr.. Gibson to refer
the bill to the jefferson county delegation,
after the report of the local legislation
committee was made reporting the bill back
to the house to be placed on the calendar
without recommendation.
The scenes that this motion occasioned are
almost unprecedented on the floor of the
house.
1t was known that the enemies of the
administration would make hard fight to
have the bill so referred, as this meant
its death-three, and it is claimed four, of
the delegation having already signed a Pc
tiuon against the bill. The friends of the
court had lost in the committee by a vote
of to 4, and they desired a test of their
strength In the house. The final vote to
place the bill on the calendar was close
a to Al.
Debate Exciting
The debate on the question was the most
exciting of any during the present ses-
sion. In several instances it became per-
sonal and the speaker was compelled TO
call the orators to order
John Mcqueen, of jefferson, was in the
chair, and he made a splendid record as a

Mr.. Gibson led the fight against the meas
ure, assisted by Messrs. Bulger and
Cofer.
When the clerk read the report of the
committee that the bill was referred back
to the house to be placed ON the calendar
without recommendation, and the speaker
had announced that it would 'be placed
on the calendar for third reading" Mr..
Gibson moved that it be recommitted to a
special committee composed of the Jefferson
delegation.
Mr. Kyle moved to lay on the table the
motion to recommit. Mr.. Brown moved
that the motion to recommit be indefinitely
postponed and cited the rules to show the
priority of his motion.

Montgomery. February 2.-(spec.al)-The
Moody dispensary bill met with a serious
accident in the committee room of the re-
vision of laws tonight, from which it has
but slim chance to recover.
By report of ten to five the committee
has agreed to report the bill to the house
adversely. While the opponents of the bill
are celebrating, its friends have silently
stolen away to their rooms. The political
futures of several aspiring gentlemen have
been bhghted. Anti-dispensary stock is in
the ascendancy.
The committee, after three hours ses-
sion hearing the constitutionality of the
measure argued by two OF the states most
eminent lawyers, first voted on an amend
ment excluding from the provisions of the
bill the counties of Jefferson, Tuscaloosa,
Calhoun, Mareago and Macon. This amend
ment was adopted.
