in the case of Capt. Garnett Ripley,
charged with being in a conspiracy
which resulted in the assassination
of William Goebel, Saturday rendered
a verdict of not guilty, after being out

Discusses Jury's Verdict.
Commonwealth Attorney Franklin,
in discussing the jury's verdict, said:
LAS sworn officer have done what I
considered my full duty. These jurors are
sworn officers and will never be found
criticising officials who I know haveSact-
ed conscientiously."
Although the jury was out two
hours, most of the time was taken up
in discussing the case in the jury room.
Only two ballots were taken. On the
first ballot ten jurors voted mot
guilty." and two voted guilty" The
two who voted guilty said they be-
lieved the evidence showed him con-
nected with the conspiracy, but when
they learned that either life impris-

shorter sentence would not be i'm
posed, they came over and voted with
the majority for an acguittal.
Verdict Generally Approved.
The verdict in the Ripley case is gen.
orally approved, though it was sur

there would be hung jury. Capt
Ripley is the fourth one of the alleged
Goebel suspects to be tried.
The jury in the Ripley case was COM
posed exclusively of democrats. The
matter of requisition for the return
of ex-Gov. w. S. Taylor from Indiana

speculation, but Commonwealth At

Aside from the uneasiness caused by labor
controversies, no setback has appeared IN
the leading industry. Conditions of supply
and demand are similar to those existing
for the past few months: In some lines pur-
chasers are increasingly importunate,
while In others there is slightly less
urgency for prompt shipment. but IN all
branches Of Iron and steel manufacture re-
quirements are much in excess Of available
stocks. Recent evidence of large grain
crops has brought agricultural implement
makers into the market for bars and many
have contracted for their entire years

activity In structural material for bridges

which extends from Canada to Ten
nessee and east to the Atlantic coast.
A heavy, wet snow, driven by gale,
has played havoc with wires and
poles and telegraph companies re-
port q complete suspension of bust
ness to the seaboard. Heroic efforts
have been made to reach New York
by way of Atlanta and the coast lines
and via Winnipeg and the Canadian
Pacific route, but thus far without
success. Officials here fear that this
storm will cripple wire equipment
worse than for several years past.

Worst Ever Experienced. Causes

Southern States Also Visited
Floods Along the Ohio Feared.

Cleveland. o., April 22.-Northern
Ohio was Saturday swept by fierce
storm of wind and snow that pros
trated telegraph and telephone wires
in all directions. The wind came from
the north and during the early hours
of the day reached a velocity of SO
miles an hour. All Geographic com
munication was severed between
Cleveland and points east and south.
A few wires were patched up to the
west, but even these were reported to
be working slowly.
In some respects the storm was the
worst experienced during the entire
winter. The heavy wet snow came
down in binding sheets and the
streets in this city were covered with
slush almost ankle deep. Traffic on
many street car Lines was badly de-
layed. Telephone or telegraph poles
were blown across the tracks and the
trolley wires badly tangled up. The
police and fire alarm wires We're also
carried down and some sections of the
city were cut off from communication
with the fire and police signal ex-
changes.
Out of more than 100 wires connect
ing Cleveland and Buffalo not one was
ST working order during the early
hours of the day. The conditions be-
tween Cleveland and Pittsburgh, it
was said, were equally bad. Telegraph
and telephone officials declared that
the storm has been the most destruc-
tive experienced in a long time. The
long distance telephone lines We're re-
ported down in every direction, there
being no communication with any out
side point.
1t will undoubtedly be many days
before full repairs can be made to the
telegraph and long distance telephone
service. Many poles are Frustrated,
causing inpumeruble breaks in the

places the tracks were reported to
be buried under deep slush and it was
found impossible to make schedule

Lake Erie was dashed into wild
fury by the Violent storm. Enormous
waves dashed over the harbor break
water, sending up spray to the height
of hundred feet or more.
a crib 200 feet long and about IS
feet wide, which was anchored at the
end of the east breakwater, prepare
tory to being sunk. was torn from it's
fastenings and driven ashore inside
the west breakwater. The crib
crashed into the west pier, but little
damage resulted.
The big steamers City of Detroit,
from Detroit. and the State of Ohio,
from Toledo. arrived off this port
during the night of the storm. AL
though the feat of entering the river
was considered to be extremely dan
gerous, the big liners succeeded in
making the river in safety.
