law and the testimony seemed to be
closing round his client. But when
Mr.. Wilson made his appeal to the
jury, no calendared saint wore n
brighter crown of glory than that with
which he invested his client. The
judges charge was not suspicious for
the defendant, but the jury remained
out a surprisingly short time. I'VE

reported. The judge and prosecutor
were astonished. Addressing the de.

you upon having retained so eloquent

the court added: But 1t gives me
pleasure to discharge you, for a more
unconscionable jury never dragged a
verdict through a temple of justice!'

Murphy & Co.'S cottoa Letter.

B New York, July 21.-It was dull
and undressing cotton market this
morning. The character of Liverpool
was such as to encourage some SELL
ing with the consequence of a shading
off in prices, but at no time did the
market display anything approaching
activity. In fact the general disposi-
tom is to simply watch and wait until
we know more of the crop about which
we are now so much in the dark, al
though big crop views largely predom-
mate with people who admit the pos
sibility of a decided change in their
view should weather conditions later
on be less favorable. Some reports
this morning indicated good rains in
portions of Mississippi, Alabama
and Arkansas, and besides these there
were several private kilograms cover
ing a less satisfactory situation in
Liverpool. New York, however, was
little Influenced by these reports name
ly because of the strength of statis-
teal position especially as regards
spots.
