CONVICTED OF THEFT.
4 Jury Says French Received stolen
STAMPS.

BALTIMORE. April 10.-Charles r.
French, of Houston, Va, arrested March 6
in Baltimore with $3.50 worth of postage
stamps in his possession, was convicted
in the United States District Court yester-
day of receiving the stamps knowing them
to have been stolen from the Government.
Sentence was suspended by Judge Morris
pending a motion for a new trial made by
French's attorneys. The penalty for the
offence Is from one 10 five years in the
penitentiary. French was recommended to
mercy by the jury and Judge Morris said
he would take that into consideration in
passing sentence.
The verdict was agreed upon by the jury
about II O'Clock Saturday night. after sew
en- hours deliberation, and was taken into
court sealed. Some of the jurors said after
their discharge that four OF them favored
a verdict of not guilty when they retired.
French was indicted for the larceny of
the stamps and a registered letter con-
tanning $3.50 from the Houston tVa) post
Office on February 25 when the postoffice
with several other buildings was destroy
ed by fire He testified that he bought the
stamps from a man he does not know, but
who said his name was T. T. West Ac-
cording to French's statement. he bought
the stamps on the night of March at
Sutherlin. Va and took the train for Bal
timore Immediately afterward TO dispose
of them He said he gave for the stamps
800 in cash and a due bill for $3.50. The
charge of larceny was abandoned by the
Government and a verdict was asked on
the second. third, and fourth counts of the
indictment, upon which French was con-
victed..
Ii cost the Government about 81 GOO to
pay its witnesses in the case. They were
summoned from Columbus, Ohio; Troy, Y.
Y, and various cities in Virginia. and
were each paid 10 cents a mile besides
$3.50 a day for their attendance on court.
Their testimony traced the wrapping pa
per around the stamps found in Freneh's
possession, which had enclosed an express
package received by him at Houston, and
also his movements from the time he left
Houston, so far as known.
The case was tried by District Attorney
Rose and Assistant District Attorney Nor
ris A. Soper for the Government. and
Charles F. Harley, J. Markham Marshall.
and Wood Bouldin. of Virginia, for the
defence.

Old Seventh Regiment Men.
Speeches Declaring That the Posi-

- Orders of the Commandrr-in-th

NEW YORK. April l0-The regular
me-ting and annual Appomautox Day din
rer of the Society of War Veterans of the
Seventh Regiment was given last night in
the Arena. at 90 West Thrty-irst Street.
Covers were laid for 100 persons. The din
ner was preside over by Major Theodore
K. Gibbs. Letters of regret were read
from Col. Daniel Appleton, of the seventh
Regiment, and others.
Major General Wesley Merritt. the first
speaker, began by paying high tribute TO
the soldierly qualities of the Seventh Regi-
ment, and regarding those of the Vete-
rams Association he said that 365 camps
might be named after those who had
died in glory" Speaking OF the Seventh
Regiment as ii is today he said that the
regiment never opposed the Regular Army,
but instead had always done what it could
TO support it,
Colonel Woodruff. quart termaster at Gov
ernors Island. the next speaker. after di-
lating on the good time spent, said re
garding the Seventh Regiment:
ITS time the truth should be told. The
Seventh Regiment was willing to go 10 the
front in the late contest with Spain We
all know that during the Spanish American
war the volunteer soldiers had everything
but paregoric nursing bottles.
Rear Admiral Henry Erben. United
States Navy, who followed. declared that
the only thing that prevented him from
being Seventh Regiment man was the
fact that he went to sea, and at time
when those connected with the service
knew no more about carrying a gun than
a cow" He paid a glowing tribute to
Charles Clarke and Robert Hunter. both
members of the old Seventh Regiment,
who served In the United States Navy in
1855.
Major General Charles F. Roe. National
Guard New York the next speaker. said:
The position of the Seventh Regiment
has been misunderstood by those in au-
thority. Colonel Appleton came to my Of
fee and informed me that the Seventh
Regiment was willing to go to the front
as a body. The fault. let me say, Law not
with the State military authorities, but
with the national authorities. who lad no
idea as TO what ought TO be done
The speaker said that il should be left
alone to the President to order the State
troops or any portion thereof into the field
for immediate action. adding that he knew
that the Seventh Regiment would at any
time obey cheerfully the order Of the
Commander -in-Chief. He closed by saying
that he had for some time intended to
have Colonel Appleton breveted as briga-
der general in recognition of his twenty
eight continuous years service in the Ma
tional Guard.
