CAN NOT DESTROY.
Liquor Must Be Returned When
No Conviction.

Judge Magaw gave decision this af-
ternoon in the Kempton case which is Of
a. great deal of interest to the city Off
GERS and to the jointists-
When Kempton was arrested few
days ago the police captured a keg of
beer and a few bottles of whisky. Keno
ton was again arrested few days after
the first arrest and more beer and
whisky was captured. In both cases the
evidence was insufficient to secure con-
viction and Kempton was released. The
police think that they have a right to
destroy the goods captured and Kemp
ton thinks they have not. After the trial
the attorneys for Kempton demanded
that the goods captured be returned and
Chief Stahl refused to give the goods up
claiming that they should be destroyed.
Judge Magaw was undecided as to
what to say in the matter and put it off
until this afternoon when he gave his
opinion He decided that the goods
could not be destroyed where the de-
fendant had been acquitted and also de-
cided that the place could not be aba
ted, another point that the city claimed.
The judge said that in order to abate
a place the keeper was entitled to a
hearing and it had been already decid-
ed in the case that Kempton was not the
keeper of the place, consequently he
could not order the place abated. Kemp
ton had been charged with specific sales
of liquor and the city had failed to
prove it's case, so the goods captured
could not be ordered destroyed.

KEPT SECRET YEARS.
a New York Murder Discovered by
the Finding of a Skeleton.

Poughkeepsie, N Y. Dec. 13-Peter
Austin, the Stormvii1e farmer. who killed
his farm hand, Charles Brewer, fourteen
years ago, and threw the body into an
old well on his farm. is on trial here un-
der an Indictment for murder in the sec
ond degree.
The crime was not discovered until
August last. when a new owner of the
farm was cleaning out the well and found
a skeleton. 1t was identified and Austin
was arrested. He confessed that he killed
Brewer, but said he did so in self-de-
tense, the other man having assaulted him
with knife, while they were returning
to his house from milking cows in the
evening. July q 1886 At the trial the
prosecution combatted the claim of self
defense and endeayored to show that Aus
tin killed Brewer to gain possession of a
sum of money that he was known to car
ry his person
The defense claimed that Brewer al
though so years of age, was desperately
in love with Austin's 14-year-oId daugh-
ter, now Mrs. Effie Briggs, and wanted to
marry her. but the parents refused to give
their consent Brewer was very angry
at them on that account, and while rid
ing in the wagon with his employer, at
tackled him with knife. Austin to de-
fend himself, knocked Brewer out of the
wagon and in falling he struck the back
OF his head on stone and was killed.
Through ignorance Austin disposed of the
body and told one but his wife who
helped him to keep the secret all these
years.
