Philadelphia, April %. - Matthew
Stanley Quay was declared by a jury
of his peers to be not guilty Of the
charge of conspiring to use for his own
unlawful gain and profit the funds OF
the State of Pennsylvania deposited In
the Peoples bank Of this city. This
verdict was announced by the foreman
of the jury just as the hands of the
court room timepiece pointed to IL
O'clock. At the time the jury came
filing into their places there were COM
p%aratively few people in he court
room. There was an attempt at a
demonstration, but this was sternly
repressed by the court officers. whose
loud shouts of "Order!' "Order!"
"%Silence" was effective in silencing
those jubilant spirits who wished to
give vent to their satisfaction by
cheering. The officers were unable,
however, to keep back those who
struggled to get to Senator Quay and
congratulate him. Chairs were upset,
tables were brushed aside and hats
were smashed by the onrushing crowd.
Senator Quay, with a broad smile on
his face, responded pleasantly to the
greetings and congratulations Of those
who crowded around. A few Of his
political friends were there and these
men were loud in their expressions.
Although the court officers prevented
the cheering in the court room, their
Jurisdiction did not extend to the cor
ridors Of the city hall, and the first
group of men who left the court room
sent up a mighty shout, which was
taken up and repeated by the crowds
nofhoro1 ipJcf oy,tcf1n Tho G1no6 1nnv
drawn by the watchmen, beyond
allowed to pass. AS soon as Senator
Quay could get away from those
anxious to shake his hands and on
graduate him, he made his way, &C.
companied by his counsel, to the ele.
vator to descend to the street from the
sixth floor of the municipal building.
Here the scenes in the court room
were repeated. Everybody wanted to
say something pleasant to him, and
crowds gathered near the elevator
shaft on each floor to watch the car
carrying the distinguished party as it
descended to the street. The avenue
surrounding the city hall is wide and
smooth and the neighborhood is the
stamping ground Of the politicians Of
Tue tOWu. 6ere Lue enthusiasm WAS
immense as the senator emerged from
the door Of the building. A group of
enthusiasts rushed forward and at
tempted to hoist him onto their Shout
ders, but the senator waved them
back, saying:
ooh, no; oh, no; I'm too Oil a man
for that"
Senator Quay walked with his
friends n block down Broad street to
the Office Of his counsel, where he
made his escape from the surging
crowd. 1t is understood that he will
at once join his family in Washington
and will probably go away for a long
rest.
