"PITCHFORK" PRODUCTION
McLAUR1N .F1REp" BY DEMOCRATS
TiIIman Gets in His work with the
South Carolina State Conn
mittee.

Columbia. s. c.. July Pa tremendous
surprise was created last night by the
state executive committee that had been
called to meet to consider purely routine
matters, and nothing sensational was ex-
pected. By a vote of 25 to Senator
McLaurin was bodily fired out of the
democratic party.
Senator Tillman led the fight, making
violent attack on McLaurin's course.
The senator spent the day with State
Chairman Jones. Both Jones and Till
man said there was nothing doing. !"
Resolutions were adopted censuring Nc
Laurin in strong language for his course
in Washington. His voting with the re-
publicans is vehemently denounced.
Senator Tillman made one of his Bit
terest speeches. Just two months ago
Tillman said he would oppose any effort
to rule McLaurin out of the party, but he
seems to have changed his mind. Follow
ing is the resolution adopted by the COM
mittee:
Whereas, John T. McLaurin elected to rep
resent the state of South Carolina in the ma
tional congress, has, by his affiliation and
votes in that body, ignored the national DEM
ocratic platform and thereby misrepresented
his state and his constituency who elected
him; therefore, be it resolved, that it is the
sense and conviction of the democratic state
executive committee that Senator John Nc
Laurin, from the standpoint Of honesty and
self-respect, should tender his resignation.

Spanish admiral, Cervera, at the court of
inquiry. If the action of Schley at the
battle of Santiago is to be made one of
the counts in the criticism, one of the best
witnesses would be the commander of
the hostile feet. Cervera has already tes-
titled in a pamphlet in the possession of
the bureau of naval intelligence here that
1t was his purpose to ram the Brooklyn.
This would justify Schley in making the
famous 'loop" for which he has been
blamed.
Captain Victor M. Concas Paula, COM
mander Of the Maria Teresa, chief Of
staff for Cervera, testifes in a~history
he has written of the engagement that it
was the purpose of the Teresa to ram the
Brooklyn, and he gave orders for that
purpose. The Brooklyns maneuver, he
says, exposed the Teresa to ramming by
the Oregon and Texas simultaneously,
and caused Cervera to change his pur-
pose.
Cervera had court of inquiry in
Madrid and was cleared of blame, after
wards taking his seat in the court. His
evidence will doubtless be introduced in
the trial. He may not have to ocme in
person, an affidavit being substantiated
but, if necessary, friends of Schley will
pay his expenses and secure his voluntary
presence.

YOUNG FOSBURGH
NOT GUILTY
Judge Directs Verdict for the Young
Man Tried on the Charge Of
Having Killed His Sister.

Pittsield, Mass, July 26.-At the
opening of court to-day in the Fosburgh
trial. Judge Stevens instructed the jury
10 bring in verdict of not guilty, and
this was done. ending the trial.
The jurymen did not leave their seats.
The verdict was received with shouts OF
applause. which the court Immediately
suppressed. The demonstration, however
was one Of the most remarkable that has
ever occurred in court of justice. Judge
stevens, in ordering a verdict Of acquit-
tai. said:
Mr.. Foreman and Notwithstanding six
days we have listened to a painful recital OF
one Of the saddest tragedies ever presented to
jury. A beautiful girl, just budding into
Womanhood, was shot down, and her brother
mas been accused of the crime. The govern
ment has endeavored to prove that the gir
was not shot by burglars; it has endeaVored
to exclude all other members of the family
from the affair. and, third, to prove that the
shot was fired by her brother, Robert s. Fos-
burgh.
The trial has proceeded somewhat In tha
form OF an inquest and has been tried with
great pains on the part of the governmen,
obtain proof, and so great deal Of evidence
mas been introduced and admitted without
objection which might have been excluded
under the strict rule Of the law. 1 think
ought also to say to you that 1t is due to the
chief OF police, who has stood behind this
prosecution, that in the view of the court he
has tried to do his duty with a single eye tc
ascertaining the truth Now, Mr.. Foreman
and gentlemen, motion has been made thai
this case be taken from the jury, and 1t be
comes my duty to say to you that in the opin-
ion OF the court the government has not fur
nished proof sufficient to sustain verdict ot
guilty against the defendant and therefore
under the direction Of the court, in the in
dictment of Robert S. Fosburgh for killing
his sister, you will return verdict Of not
guilty.
The crowd In the courtroom, which in
cluded hundreds of friends Of the de-
fendant, broke into loud applause, which
the court Immediately quelled by sternly
raising his finger and commanding the
sheriff to see that demonstration was not
repeated
Robert Stewart Fosburgh, the defend
ant, was then ordered to stand while the
foreman of the jury was asked: "What
Is your verdict?" The reply was ''Not
guilty."
Judge Stevens then, in a few words,
expressed his thanks to the jurymen for
their careful consideration of the case
during its presentation to them Young
Robert Fosburgh was then discharged
from custody and court was adjourned.
The great crowd then rushed as one per-
SON to shake the hand of the smiling
young man and it was several minutes
before the courtroom was cleared.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1901-07-26
Given a Reception.

Immediately after his discharge, young
Robert Fosburgh, accompanied by the
members Of his family, went to the Wen
dell House, where a reception was held and
where hundreds Of people shook hands
with the young man.
AS soon as the jury was dismissed the
foreman called them together in his pri-
vate room and for the first time there was
a conference as to what the jurors be-
lieved. Without exception they declared
that they would have returned a verdict
of guilty within fifteen minutes, even had
they not been instructed by the court
They acknowledged they would have paid
no attention to the exhibits in the case.
While Judge Stevens was speaking to the
jury, the members of the Fosburgh family,
realizing what his remarks meant to them,
burst into tears, while the defendant sat
with his head buried, the tears coursing
down his cheeks. When District Attorney
Hammond, who has been the prosecuting
officer in the trial, was asked to make a
statement he said that he thought it
would be improper for him to say anything
at this time, except that from the evidence
submitted the court was fully justified in
taking the case from the jury He
thought, however, that Chief of Police
Nicholson was fully warranted in making
the Investigation that he did.
