JURY ACQUITS YOUNG
COATES OF MURDER
B00DLER GETS THREE YEARS.
st. Louis City Scion Found Guilty of
Accepting $4,000 Bride.

ST. LOUIS, March 27.-The first of the
boodling cases, that of Councilman Emil
Meysenburg, indicted for bribery in hay-
ing received the sum of $1,000 from Philip
Stock. legislative agent of the Suburban
Railway, for aiding in the passage of coun
ell bill No. Al, resulted in verdict of
guilty with three years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
The jury retired at 6:15 and returned
one hour later with their verdict. The
vote for conviction was unanimous. The
instructions of Judge Douglas were de-
cidedly in favor of defendant.
In his charge he stated that express
agreement for bribery must be shown
TO convict"
The State sprung a surprise in the
morning session when it called Cashier
Austin, OF the Mechanics Bank, in rebuff
tai of Meysenburg's testimony. The
councilman had testified that he had not
presented the $500, the acceptance of
which was the basis of the indictment, at
the Mechanics Bank before visiting the
German Savings Institution. Austin tes-
titled positively that said check had been
presented to him, and had been the sub
ject of considerable discussion among
bank officials. The defence will appeal.

BELMONT'S RELEASE
CAUSES POLICE STIR

ment stated that he had demanded full
report of the incident from Lieutenant
Daley, and that the matter of releasing the
Congressman would be thoroughly venti-
lated.
So far there have been no charges pre-
ferred against the bicycle policeman by
Representative Belmont, and it is stated
on good authority that it is not likely
that such action will be taken.
Mr. Belmont's Statement
When seen by a reporter for The Times
Representative Belmont stated that he
did not know what action he would take in
the matter OF the proposed investigation,
as he never crossed a bridge until he
reached it.
Il have not yet been advised officially
of the police investigation, and until
am l do not know what action will
take said Mr.. Belmont. THE incident
has been greatly exaggerated. There were
about keeping up with street car when
my man, who was riding backward, told
me that a policeman was beckouing to me
| stopped and was told that WAS OK.
oeeding the speed limit. l replied that
thought The officer was mistaken, but was
required TO go to the police station.
where, after hearing the facts, the lied
tenant ordered my release
In speaking of the matter yesterday
a District official said:
The action taken by the police rela-
tive to the release of Representative Bel
mont without his having given the neces-
sary collateral is, in my opinion, unjust
discrimination. If Congressman, the men
who make the laws for our city violate
them, they should, in my opinion be made
to suffer the same as the citizens The ac-
lion taken by Lieutenant Daley in the mat
ter placed his subordinate in very en-
barrassing position, and it is doubtful if
there will be many more arrests of auto
mobilists for fast running of their ma
chimes until the outcome of this case is
heard"

His Actions.
INVESTIGATION BY MAJOR
Policeman Edwards, Who Placed the
Member of Congress Under Arrest on
Charge of Exceeding the Speed Limit,
Upheld by Police Chief.

Major Sylvester, Superintendent of Po-
lice, is making thorough investigation
of the facts surroundings the arrest of
Representative o. HIP. Belmont of New
York by Policeman Edwards and his sub
sequent discharge by Lieutenant Daley, OF
the Ninth precinct. Mr.. Belmont was
charged by Policeman Edwards with driy-
ing his automobile, Red Rather, through
the streets of the city at a more rapid
gait than is allowed by law. The bicycle
policeman claimed that his register
showed a speed of twenty-th three miles
per hour in his attempt to keep up with
the automobile.
The action of Lieutenant Daley in not
upholding the officer after his having
made the arrest has created considerable
discussion among the members of the Po-
lice Department and citizens.
Policeman Edwards Duty.
So far as Policeman Edwards case is
concerned, it is considered by the police
officials that he only did his duty, and is
in no way to blame for making the arrest

ously hurt.
Mr.. Albee and half dozen other per-
sons testified that the dog was n valu-
able bird hunter, and that 1t was not
vicious or fierce, but that on the con-
trary 1t was source OF amusement on

for all of the children in the neighbor-

Confagration.
SCRANTON, Pa, March 27.-One life
was lost and thirty buildings burned down
in a destructive fire which broke out al
100 this morning in the town of Peck
vile, seven miles from this city. 1t was
the fercest blaze that the town had ever
seen. and the entire place would have
been swept away but for the timely ar
rival of three fire companies from this
city who stretched a long line of hose to
the river and checked the progress of the
fire, finally overcoming it this afternoon
The life lost was that of Fireman VIII
liam Scott. who was caught in a narrow
passageway between two burning build
ings and overcome with smoke. Before
he could be rescued he was badly burned
and inhaled the flames. He died this
afternoon.
The flames were of incendiary origin,
and started in the iewelry store of John
Barrett. The loss was 300, 900. All the
families burned out are being sheltered
by neighbors.

NEW TRIAL DENIED In
THOMSON WILL Case
Chief Justice Bingham Says
Verdict Was Proper.
IN His Opinion Finding Should Not Be
Disturbed on Account of Mis-
conduct of Juror.

Chief Justice Bingham overruled the
motion for a new trial in the case of
Keely against Moore, which involved the
validity of the will of the late William
| Thomson. jr.
The principal ground for setting aside
! the verdict was because of the alleged
misconduct of one of the jurors during the
| trial. 1t was said that he had been
drinking and was in no fit condition to
participate in rendering a verdict.
Case On Trial Three Weeks.
The case occupied the attention of the
court and a jury for about three weeks
during January and February, the princi-
pal question involved being the mental
capacity of the testator. Mr.. Thomson,
and whether or not the will in question,
il properly made. could be held to pass
title to real estate in this jurisdiction.
where three witnesses were required for
such purposes, as the will itself had been
acknowledged before witnesses upon one
occasion and two days later before a
third.
No evidence could be produced to show
that the third witness had signed in the
presence OF the testator, as required by
the local statute. as both the witnesses
and the testatcr were dead. The jury
rendered a verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANTS.
Arguments for New Trial.
In the motion for new trial, in addi-
ton to the alleged error committed on the
part of the justice trying the case in his
instructions to the jury upon the points
above referred to, afiGavits were also
produced from several jurynen contend
ing that one of the iurymen was under
the influence of liquor the last day of the
trial; was incapacitated thereby from
hearing the instructions of the judge or
from properly taking part in the deliber-
atoms of the jury.
The juryman in question filed two aft
davits. one alleging that he was under the
influence of liquor and another retracting
his statements.
Chief Justice Bingham's Opinion.
Chief Justice Bingham, in his opinion,
held that there was no error in the
charge given to the jury by the court.
He further contended that the proper rule
to be followed in the case, even where il
was shown that iuryman might have
been under the influence of liquor, was to
ascertain whether the verdict was prop
er one. or such actions or conduct on the
part of the jury had any bearing upon the
verdict which was rendered. contending
that the court will not disturb a verdict
upon the ground of drunkenness il the
court believes the verdict to be a just
one, as it does in this case.

Another Residence Fire.

Saturday evening about o'clock
the two stsry brick house near the
southeast corner of the park, owned
by John Dorsey, was discovered to
be ablaze, and, although the fire
company was on nand with reasona-
BILE promptness, the fire had such
Roadway that it could not be con-
trolled until the interior and the
roof of the building were destroyed.
The fire appears to have started in a
frame leanto at the rear of the build
ing, occupied by Mr.. Dorsey, thence
extended to the main building,
through the central hall.
The main building was rented by
Mr.. Otto Olson and wife. A few
hours before the fire Mrs. Olson left
the house, seemingly all right. Dur.
ing the afternoon Mr.. Dorsey was
about, cut and piled up some wood
at the rear, and can give no account
of how the fire started. Fortunately

Free Tickets to Fair Cut OF.

AT the adjourned meeting of the
s. w. Wis. Fair held Wednesday
Jan. 18th, the proposition to amend
the bylaws by striking out the
clause providing one free admission
to the Fair annually, for each share
of stock, was carried, and hereafter
shareholders will have to pay %
cents to enter the fair grounds, the
same as non-share holders. The pur-
pose of this action is to increase the
revenues, for which there is urgent
need. But many of the best mem
bers, and many who have lnbored
faithfully to build up and maintain
the Fair, doubt the wisdom of the ac-
ton, and fear that it will fail of ac-
complishing the end designed. 1t is
fair to assume that of the 500persons
heretofore admitted daily on share
holders tickets, many will not at
tend at all. and not more than one
half of those who attend and pay
admission will do so for more than
one day during the Fair. Therefore
the gate receipts from such source
cannot be expected to exceed $3.50.
Recognizing the dissatisfaction
which the action is known to create
among large number Of sharehold-
arc and the 1apuar that If NAV On
crate to lesson popular favor for the
Fair, is the possible gain of $3.50 COM
mensurate? Property owners and
business men Of Mineral Point could
better afford to subscribe $3.50 or
twice the sum to meet necessities of
the Fair, than to allow prejudice
against it 10 be provoked and spread
