ley Quay will be United states sena-
tor from Pennsylvania until the next
session of the Legislature. He was ac-
quilted by jury of his peers or the
conspiracy charge and soon after APP
pointed senator by Governor stone.
There was an exciting scene in the
courtroom wheH the verdict OF acau''-
tai was rendered,
At the time the jury came filing into
their places there were comparatively
few people in the courtroom. The rigid
rules regarding admission that had pre-
vailed since the trial began were strict
ly adhered to, and no one got by the
line ofAwatchmen guarding the corridor
who was not provided with ticket
AS a result of this arrangement only
about half the seats We're occupied
when the verdict was rendered.
There was an attempt at demon
stration, but this was sternly repressed
by the court officers, whose loud
shouts of Order, order!" "Silence!" were
effective in silencing those who wished
to give vent to their satisfaction by
cheering. The officers were unable,
however, to keep back those who strug-
gled to get to Senator Quay and con-
graduate him. Chairs were upset, ia
bles We're brushed aside, and hats were
smashed by the onrushing crowd. Sem
ator Quay, with a broad smile on his
face, responded pleasantly to the greet
ings and congratulations of those who
crowded around.
Spreading the News.
Although the court officers prevented
the cheering in the courtroom, their
jurisdiction did not extend to the corri-
doris of the city hall, and the first group
of men who left the courtroom sent up
shout, which was taken up and repeat
ed by the crowds gathered just outside
the dead line drawn by the watch
men, beyond which only possessors of
tickets were allowed to pass.
AS soon as Senator Quay could get
away from those anxious to shake his
hand and congratulate him he made his
way. accompanied by his counsel, to the
elevator to descend to the street from
the sixth floor of the Municipal build
ing. Here the scenes in the courtroom
We're repeated.
Previous to the announcement of the
verdict the accused man sat in his ac-
cushioned seat in the courtroom and
chatted with his counsel and a group of
reporters. He was in good
spirits, probably owing to the prevalent
rumor that only one of the jurors was
holding out against him. He looked as
we'll as he has at any time during the
past few months and said that he felt
better than he has for long while.
When the jurymen had taken their
seats in the box. the senator turned and
half faced them. The stereotyped How
say you, gentlemen of the jury, do you
find the prisoner at the bar guilty or
not guilty?" brought promptly from the
foreman's lips the words mot guilty"
Senator Quay did not look at the jury
at all or in Anyway express gratitude
to them for their verdict in his favor.
His friends, however. surrounded the
jurors, patted them on their backs and
told them what heroes they were. Sem
ator Quay's only comment on the ver-
dict was, well, l expected it,"
Jury Out All Night.
The case went to the jury Thursday
afternoon, and four ballots We're taken
before the final decision was reached.
The first ballot stood 10 to 2 for ac-
quittal the next two stood II to l.. The
one standing out for conviction by
this time had very much modified his
reasons for conviction and when the
last ballot was taken he voted for ac-
quittaL The Jurors who stood out for
conviction are said to have been Charles
Penzler, shoemaker, Seventeenth ward.
and Edward Bevan, painter, Nineteenth
ward. Penzler voted for acquittal after
the first ballot, but Bevan held out UNI
til the final ballot was taken.
After the crowd left the courtroom
District Attorney Rothermel was ques-
toned regarding the remaining indict-
ments. He said there are three of them,
and they are still pending, but he would
not say what his course will be regard
ing them. In two of these indictments
Senator Quay is charged with conspir-
ng with Hopkins and Haywood. as he
was in the one under which he was just
acquitted. In the remaining indictment
he is charged with conspiracy jointly
with his son, Richard r. Quay
Senator Quays lawyers say the dis
riot attorney picked out the indictment

Political friends of Senator Quay are
urging him to bring criminal prosecu-
lions against those enemies who, they
claim, are behind his prosecution, but
he senator will not indicate what his
course in this respect may be. He is
going to join his family in Washington
and will likely take long rest.
