APPLAUSE SUPPRESSED.
AS the judge concluded his remarks
the people I'm the court room began clan
ping their hands but the Judge immediate
ly ordered that the. applause be sup
pressed and this was done by the court
officers. The defendant stood while the
foreman of the jury replied to the ques-
ton: What Is your verdict"
The reply was: Not guilty
The defendant was then formally dis
charged by order of the court. Judge
Stevens then dismissed the jury, but be-
fore doing so thanked them warmly for
their services and congratulated them be-
cause they had not shirked the respon-
sibility that fell upon them.
Immediately after this the Fosburg
family were given an opportunity 10 leave
the court chamber in advance of the rest
OF the people and they did So passing
down private stairway. They proceeded
at once to the Wendell House where a
reception was held and where hundreds
of people took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to shake hands with young Robert
Fosburg.

As soon as the jury was dismissed the
foreman called them together I'm his pri-
vate room and for the first time there
was a conference as TO what the Jurors
believed. Without exception they de-

verdict OF not guilty within rs minutes

THE COURTS DECISION.

Judge Sweetland said that the fact that
the respondent was made I'll twice was
not sufficient proof that Tomarro did not
know that EPSON salts should affect a
person as this medicine did.
Tomarro was therefore discharged. the
court suggesting that II any person saw
fit TO call the attention OF the grand Jury
10 this AFFAIR that could be done.

his wife knew, excepting that he thought
the boy must have gone 10 the Florence
10 no other. The respondent had bottles
not bearing the labels or that particular
pharmacy.
The paper originally around tho saits
became wet the Monday before the boys
death IL was removed that day and
put under a sink 10 be burned.
Tomarro said that OF tho following
Wednesday he ,ook half teaspoonfui of
the salts.
WAS MADE ILL.
He was made i'll. first having cramps and
then a profuse cold perspirstion followed,
The cramps bothered him all day and
at $50 he had TO knock or work and so
home
Tomarro said that he turned the pack
age over to Duffy. the family physi-
clan, and that il was the same one, he
judged. that was exhibited in this trial
When ne took the two doses he supposed
that he was taking ordinary epson salts.
Mr. Eagan had several witnesses who
would swear that the respondent did no
shoemaking at home.
Col Stearns said that IL would not be
necessary 10 introduce them.
The defense rested and Mr.. Egan made
brief argument contending that his
client had not by negligence. carelessness
and with knowledge, given the deceased
dangerous dose of poison. The boy had
been sent on an errand for a particular
thing. namely epson salts. and the boy
brought back what he had a right TO sup
pose was a harmless medicine. The re-
spondent had denied not only that he
used or had oxalic acid I'm mis- house, but
that he had ever bought any at any
time or place, his boss providing all that
was necessary for use In the shop
The states witnesses had testified that
the boy was sent for the salts and that
Antonio brought the package into tho
house, Mr.. Egan could not see how the
respondent could be held for culpable
negligence in giving what he had every
reason for believing was harmless medi-
cine to the boy.
Col. Stearns argument was practically
a repetition OF the states evidence with
liberal quotations from the respondents s
narrative. According TO the mans own
statement Col. Stearns claimed there was
justification for holding the respondent
for the grand jury. When the respondent
found that he was made sick by taking
the salts. even TO the extent of being
compelled to leave his work. that should
have been a sufficient warning TO him
that something was wrong and that it
was not safe 10 give doses OF the same
medicine TO his son, and upon the mans
own testimony IL was shown that proper
and reasonable care had not been taken
by respondent.
