Decision Against Co-rlran.


Cleveland, O.. Sept. %. Judge Lam
son of common pleas court handed
down decision in favor Of John b.
Rockefeller in the million-d dollar suit
brought against the latter by Capt.
James Corrigan. In 1895 Corrigan
placed $500 Standard oil trust certifl-
Gates in Rockefeller's hands to secure
loan. Rockefeller held the stock as
trustee and finally purchased It him
self, placing the value at 167 per share.
Corrigan afterward charged him with
committing fraud. He alleged that
Rockefeller, by reason of his position
as trustee, had superior knowledge Of
the value Of the stock apd that the
stock was worth $50 instead Of 1877 per
share. The matter was submitted to
arbitrators, who decided in favor OF
Rockefeller. Corrigan refused to ac-
cept their findings and took the case

Unanimous. l2-

Frankfort, KY. Sept. 27.-Jim How
ard was convicted Of the assassina-
ton of Gov. Goebel and the jury fixed
the penalty at death.
The jury retired at $40 and re-
turned with It's verdict at 9:43. The
courtroom was filled with spectators,
and many faces in the crowd were
white with suppressed excitement as
Foreman Crutcher passed the written
verdict up to the clerk. Deputy Clerk
Elliott read the verdict, which found
the defendant guilty and fixed his pun
ishment at death.
Howard occupied seat by his at
torney. He did not display the least
agitation and was apparently no more
concerned than any other person in
the courtroom.
The verdict was surprise, as the
general public were led to believe that
the jury was divided on the question
of the guilt or innocence of the defend
ant, but it turns out that the difficulty
in reaching verdict was over the de-
gree of punishment. some of the jur-
ors favoring life Imprisonment, while
others stood out for the death penalty,
and finally won their associates over.
One of the jurors stated to the Assoc
ciated Press that a number of ballots
were taken. but the first ballot results
in unanimous vote in favor of YER
dict of guilty. After that the ballots
were as to the degree of, punishment,
and ten voted for the death penalty,
while two voted for life Imprisonment.
This was while the jurors were in the
juryroom yesterday afternoon. The
first ballot today resulted In verdict.
The two jurors who had voted for life
imprisonment gave in to the majority
and voted for the death penalty.
After the verdict had been rendered
Howard was remanded to jail, where
he was followed by his friend, John G..
White, who seemed almost paralyzed.
Towards cheeks also blanched as he
stood up to accompany the jailsr back
to his cell. The jury which tried the
case was divided politically, nine Dem
ocrats, one Republican and two anti
Goebel Democrats.

ROOSEVELT ATTACKED.

Rioters Throw Stones at the Colonel In
. Colorado. ...
Cripple Creek, COL, Sept. 2S.-Gov.
Roosevelt was mobbed at Victor and
independence. Col. Crowds at both
places beat and stoned him. 80
The governor arrived at Victor at
5 o'clock in the afternoon on the first
trip. He was then on the way to
Cripple Creek. from which place he
would have to return by way of Vic
tor to reach the main line. When the
train left Cripple Creek at II O'Clock
p. m. it was guarded by men armed
with rifles, who were put on at the re-
quest of R. D. Redfern, who had
heard that a night attack was being
planned at Victor in revenge for the
afternoon defeat.
The governor was almost through
his speech when a fellow stood up and
yelled: #
How about the canned roast beef?"
II ate it," the governor answered,
shaking his fist at the questioner.
But you didn't, and you never will.
You will never come within five miles
of battle If you can help it." ..:
This raised a laugh at the tough's
expense and nettled the gang. When
the governor left the hall he walked
between Curtis Guild, Jr., of Boston,
and John Proctor Clark of New York.
Sherman Bell. who was with Roose-
welt in Cuba. and who now lives at
Cripple Creek, gathered a band of ex-
soldiers around him and marched be-
hind. Lieutenant E. S. Tice Of the
United States Engineer Corps and
three of his men marched ahead.
The party had not proceeded far
when band of ruffians suddenly
rushed toward the governor, striving
to strike him with the banners they
carried, which were fastened to 2x4
scantlings. Then the fight began. The
rioters on the outskirts of the crowd
threw stones, and those near Roose-
welt and party, confident in their num-
bers, crowded around him and aimed
blows at his head. 1t was then that
the men with the scantling struck the
governor. The governor lunged for
ward and attempted to grapple with
his assailant, but Holley, who was
mounted on big black horse, gallOped
upon the man and rode him down.
The fellow regained his feet and at
tempted to strike the horseman. but
Holley wrenched the scantling from
his hands, and at that instant David
Heaton planted blow between the
tough's eyes that put him out.
Around and around the governor the
crowd surged and fought, some en-
gaging in single combat, others fight
ing in punches of a dozen or two
across the street, and down in the dust
yelling, cursing, rolling on the ground,
and all the time the little company of
defenders around the governor was
struggling toward the train. It was
all over in less than a minute. The
governor was on board, and a volley
of eggs, lemons, and stone ratified
against the car. The ruffians we're fly
ing down the slant, dust-coated
shanty-lined street.
Senator Wolcott was on the ground
beside the car.
There was also some trouble at In
dependence.
