Judge Baker studied the wording of
the verdict for several minutes in si-

evidence of his ears. Then he wheeled
in his chair. and addressing the jury
rebuked it in the most vigorous terms.
If Callahan had made his own choice

not have selected twelve men who
have served him more faithfully. If
the state for its part had made the
selection, l know of no men it could

The jury was evidently ill at ease

make any response and flied rapidly

PARKHuRsT ON THE NEGRO
In His Relations 20 the People of the North
and South.


New York. April 29.-The Rev. DIR.
Charles ii. Parkhurst preached yester-
day at the Madison Square Presby-
ttrian church on topics connected with
his recent trip south. Referring to the
estimation in which the people of the
south and those of the north hold the
negro. DR. Parkhurst said: The
Southerner does not like the negro
any better than the average northerner
does. and the two carry themselves to-
ward the negro with just about the
same amount of Christian considera-
tion-only of the two. the southern
white man has. perhaps. this advan-
tage-that he does not make quite so
fiambuoyant a pretense of loving the
negro as his northern conferree does.
The southern white man diSlikeS the
negro. and owns up to it. The white
man in the north diSlikes the negro.
and lies about it,
The preacher said further: The
undiscriminating act by which the ne
groeS had conferred upon them the
right to vote was one of those blum
ders that it Is not easy to escape from
after once it is committed, but which
III would seem we ought to have had
northern craftsmanship sufficiently in
telligent to prevent.
The counsel that both the northern
and the southern friends of the negro
are now giving him is TO keep quiet
upon the whole suffrage matter, to
keep out of politics. not to talk about
the constitution. not to insist upon his
rights, but to attend industriously to
the work of getting himself we'll
ready-which he is not now-for what
God and the country and the future
NAV have in store for him."

for the apprehension of Pat Grove.
Grove might easily make an appear
ance and claim the reward himself"
said Chief Donohue, las the evidence
against him is 10 more direct than that
against Callahan. In my eighties IL
years of experience with criminals
have never heard more absolutely con-
vincing evidence presented than that
presented against Callahan.
There was not a single flaw in the
testimony. and the evidence of guilt
was erwhelming. From the infor-
nation 1 have secured as to the Senti-
ment of the jury, l believe that its de-
cisiOn was based lareey on the the
DRY that the victim Of the affair was a
wealthy man, and as such is able to
suffer. Two of>the jurors, / am in
formed. expressed their opinion that
no kidnapping had occurred, and they
Lad taken their oath as jurors with
this conviction in their minds.
Il do not approve of any reward
being offered in a case of this kind,
and believe that it operated in the
Callahan trial for the acquittal of the
accused. Several times L heard the
expression that the police had simply
cOncOcted plot to send an innocent
man to the penitentiary in the hope of
securing the reward. The $4,000 Of
fered for the conviction of the three
men concerned in the crime, however,
will stand.''
