Camden Special to Nashville American
Camden, Tenn, October 10 (SpeciaD-
One Of the most important cases ever tried
in Benton County terminated here yester.
day in a verdict of "not guilty" and a
complete yindication of the accused. w.
E. McRae, formerly cashier of the Cam
den Bank and Trust Co., now Appointment
insurance man Of Nashville, Tenn, was
indicted at the December term in 1901 of
the circuit court charged with embezzle-
ment, false entries and fraudulent appro-
priation Of funds as cashier of said bank.
The trial consumed three days and was
a red hot legal battle from the moment
the State read the Indictment until the
close of the case. When the State had
concluded its testimony, the attorneys for
the defendant retired for consultation,
after which they announced that the de-
PENDANT did not desire to to submit any
proof, but was willing for the case to go to
the jury upon the evidence of the State.
The State failed utterly to show that the
defendant had committed any ofense, and
it was evident from the beginning that
the result would be an acquittal, and the
verdict Of the jury was in keeping with
the law and the facts.
Mr.. McRae was born and reared in
Benton County and has always borne an
enviable reputation, the charges embrac.
ed in theindictment being the first breath
Of scandal that has ever touched his
character.

MAT E
OF THE GOOD SHIP SOLAcE TAKES
FEARFUL LEAP IN THE DARK
AT MEDICINE BOW.
Crazed by the Altitude and Booze,
boatswain's Mate Gray Leaps
from a Swiftly-Moving Passenger
Train, Clad In His Night Clothes
Other Railroad Notes.

One hundred and forty six officers
and sailors from the United States war
vessel Solace, en- route from Mare ISL
and, a Francisco. to New York for
assignment to duty with the Atlantic
squadron, passed through the city last
night on Union Pacific train No. c.
that is, all of the LAG except a boat
SWANS mate named Gray and a color
ed seaman named J. Johnson.
About Medicine Bow, and while the
wind was blowing almost a gale, Gray
is said to have jumped from the train
clad only in his night clothes, and
Johnson left the train at some station
this side of there. reaching the city this
morning. Gray. it would appear. was
laboring under a too heavy load of
booze and Johnson wanted a heavier
load and left the train to get it. be-
ing still hunting for it when the train
pulled out of the station and came on
to Laramie.
Gray, who came in on No. 4 today,
claimed to believe that he was being
hunted to the death by some of the off
GERS aboard the train and tried to es-
cape them. 1t is said that all the other
officers were asleep in their berths at
the time, int that the bosun's mate
was dreaming when he made the fly
ing leap in the dark. He walked back
to the Medicine Bow station and told
his tale to the night operator, who car
ed for him until today, putting him
aboard the noon train and sending him
forward to be treated here. John
son was also sent along today. The
whole trouble is laid to the altitude"
at least by Gray and Johnson.
Gray arrived from Medicine Bow on
the noon train today and was met at
the depot by DR.. Stevens, who ordered
him sent to Mrs. Burke's hospital.
Gray escaped from the hospital and
was just in the act of getting on train
No. 3 for the west. which was late in
arriving. when he was taken in hand

to the city jail, where DIR. Miller was
called and later to the county Jail. DR..
Miller pronounced the man on the
verge Of delerium tremens. and he will
be kept at the Jail until he recovers.
Gray was pretty badly bruised about
the face. His left eye was closed and
he had a number of scratches on the
forehead n on the nose, but it was
found that no bones were broken. and
when he RECEIVERS from the effects OF
the booze he had been imbibing quite
freely he will be sen along to join his
mates in New York.
Johnson was forwarded on train No.
4, transportation having bee arranged
from Cheyenne.

ALL CLAIMS
FOR DEATHS AND INJURIES IN
THE BLOWING UP OF THE
MAINE.
Seaman Injured by Explosion Which
Destroyed the BattIeship Has No
Individual Claim Against Spain
Spanish Treaty Claims Commits
sion Makes Report.

Washington, D. c.. March THE
Spanish treaty claims commission has
decided against all claims for deaths
and injuries in the blowing up of the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor in
February, 1898.
The commission holds:
individual claims of citizens of II
nation may arise against the govern
ment of another nation for redress of
injuries to persons or property which
such citizens may havc sustained from
such government Or any of It's agents.
But such individual claims do not arise
in favor of the officers and seamen OF
a ship of war. who receive in the line
OF duty, injuries to their persons for
which a foreign government is reapon-
sible. The claim against the foreign
government is wholly national and all
injuries to such officers and seamen
are merged in the national injury: and
they can look only to their own gov
eminent for such remuneration as it
may choose to give them.
"A seaman injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battlcship Maine
in the harbor of Havana. Cuba. on Feb.
Is. 1898, had no individual claim
against Spain, even if that govern
ment was responsible to the United
States for the explosion. and therefore
such a seaman is not entitled to an
award in his favor from the Spanish
treaty claims commission organized by
the act of congress of March 3, 1902. t o
adjudicate all individual claims of citi.
zens Of the United States against
Spain, which the United States rcleas-
ed to Spain and agreed to pay. by the
treaty Of peace of Dec. 10. 1885
The claims so far filed with the com.
mission which will be affected by this
decision, amount to about $500. 900,
which probably would have been in.
creased to 81, 900, 900 had the decision
been favorable to the claimants.

A LARGE NAVY.
Committee Will Authorize Increase Re-
commended by Secretary.

Washington, March ALI indica-
tons point to a large increase in the
navy at this session of congress. The
naval committee is considering the ap.
preparation bill, which provides for
an increase of the naval force both in
ships and e There is scarcely any
doubt that the committee will author
ize the increase recommended by the
secretary Of the navy.
If this is done, there will be three
new battleships of the first class, two
armored cruisers of the first class,
three gunboats of 1000 ions displace-
ment, three gunboats of 200 tons dis
placement for insular service. three
picket boats of $50 tons displacement,
three steel sailing training ships of p
900 tons displacement, one collier of
Is, 900 tons displacement and four tug
boats.
1t is also highly important that the
lumber Of seamen and marines be in
creased to provide for an increase Of
5000 seamen. $50 marines as we'll as
additions to the corps of constructors
and civil engineers.
Secretary Long has recommended
that the number Of %lieutenants be in
creased from 300 to $50, aud hat the
limit Of the number of Junior lieuten,
ants and ensigns be fixed at 500, which
is a large increase. This recommends,
ton is likely to be adopted. Secretary
Long again has recommended the
grade Of vice admiral. but there seems
some doubt whether this will be agreed
to.
