The Fosburg Murder.

Judge Stevens ordered a verdict for
the defendant In tho Fosburg case.
Robert s. Fosburg was on trial for the
alleged murder Of his sister, May Fos-
burg, at the family home I'm Pitts
field, Mass. She was killed by
a pistol shot. The family claim
ed that burglars who broke into
the house caused her death,
but the chief OF police of Pittsfield
worked on the theory that Fosburg
and his father had a quarrel, and that
May was accidentally killed while try
ing to make peace between them. No
evidence had been adduced in the trial
TO support this theory, the family adj
herring to the burglar story, and their
statements being mistaken by cross
examination. Owing TO the wealth and
social standing OF the Fosburgs, the
case has attracted great attention.
Without the knowledge Of spectators
and newspaper men, Charles T.. Hib-
bard, senior counsel for the defense.
moved late Thursday p. m. that Rob-
ert Fosburg be acquitted OF the charge
OF manslaughter for which he had
been on trial for seven days. All the
evidence had been put In and the court
Immediately adjourned, but counsel
for both sides and Judge Stevens re-
tired to the lobby. where Mr.. Hibbard
and District Attorney Hammond ar
gued the motion. No decision was ron
dered until Friday morning.

Some discriminating notes were found

them was addressed to William Gid

ICNONAnsE NO EXCUSE.
I his Young Man Properly Buncoed by
Greek Customer.

IL In the course of your wanderings,
gentle reader, you should ever find
yourself in the Grecian village of Mar
copoulo. 35 miles out OF Athens. don't
as you value your celibacy-if you are
possessed OF that pleasing attribute
pick up any handkerchiefs which you
may see lying on the ground. A suit
OF breach of promise. which Is now be-
Ing tried in the Grecian capital. should
be warning to all bachelors who in
tend visiting Hellas without chaper-
on. The plaintiff in this suit is a re-
markedly good-looking young woman,
who demands that a young man, a to-
tai stranger to her until recently, and
who never asked her hand In marriage
In his life, should become her husband
or pay her heavy damages. In the vii
lage OF Marcopoulo there is a curious
custom which has the force of law. On
certain holidays the villagers assemble
on the village green, and on these oc-
casions any unmarried woman who
thinks 1t is about time she took to
herself husband drops her handker-
chief has all the binding force OF an
engagement. Now, the fair plaintiff
In this suit made up her mind a while
ago that the boys in Marcopoulo were
rather backward about coming for
ward, and her chances OF matrimony
were gradually slipping away in spite of
her good looks. So she went to the viii
lage green on the next holiday and
dropped her handkerchief. There hap
pened TO be a strange youth in the VIII
iage that day who was not familiar
withthe local customs. The village boys
fought shy of the handkerchief, but
the unsuspecting stranger picked il up.
Ih"n the villagers set up a great shout
and brought to him blushing beauty,
whom he had never seen before. an
nouncing to him that she was his flu
ture wife. Naturally he was astonished,
and could only murmur: This is so
sudden" Partially recovering his COM
posture, he inquired If he might ask
Just why the young lady was to be his
future wife. He said he was over young
10 marry yet, and, in fact, declined
with thanks. But the villagers ex-
planned their ancient custom to him
and the young lady declared that he
would marry her or she would know
the reason why. The young man swore
by Pallas Athena that he would see
her further" first, and made his escape
from the village. But the girl was bent
on marrying, and the personal inclina-
lions of the man in the case could not
be considered. So she brought suit for
breach Of promise and it is thought she
will win her case. and the young man
be forced to either marry her or pay
through the nose. New York Press.
