stove exploded in the rear of the BOona-
hoom 81 Baccash restaurant, one door
east of the opera house, and in few
seconds the rear of the entire structure
was mass of flames. The fire company
was on hand in short time and did no.

fore it reached the adjoining buildings,
although the building was completely

RUSSELL C. BROWN ACQUITTED.
Jury Reaches Same Result as I'm the
First vOte-Buying Case.

The jury which tried the second OF the
vote-selling cases, that against Russell c..
Brown. colored barber, decided that
Brown was not guilty three minutes after
retiring TO the jury room and reported their
verdict OF acquittal to Judge Afford.
Browns acquittal means that no more vote
selling cases will be tried in the Criminal
Court. Judge Afford announced Thursday
that IL the next case resulted in a speedy
acQuittal no more time of the court would
be given to hearing the cases, and to-day
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus will move that the
indictments against the twenty-one other
men similarly. charged be nollied- The in
dictments against the men, all OF whom
live In Haughville, were returned by the
grand jury on the representations of Jacob
Muller that he had bought their votes for
81 each and secured receipts from them. 1t
was insinuated at the time that Miller was
anxious for convictions in the cases in order
TO secure the reward OF 500 provided by law
ton law.
This phase Of the case came up in
bricks. Of the firm of Hendricks & Miller.
attorneys for the defense. read the reward
section OF the statute to the jury in his ar
gument. despite the objections or Nj. l..
Clausen, the private prosecutor employed
by Miller.
The testimony introduced In Browns trial
was contradictory of the statement that
Brown had accepted the 81 bride and signed
. receipt for the money. Brown, 1T was al
legged. received the money from Emmanuel
Hull. an associate of Miller. in room in
the rear of the Union Station barber shop
and signed a receipt for II. The defend
AIT denied this and said he talked with
Hull at the time stated, but refused TO sign
q receipt and consequently was not given
any money. Miller's reputation for truth
and veracity was attacked by several wit
nesses during the trial, and according to all
OF them he was not considered a man OF
good reputation
The first trial OF the vote-buying cases
led Miller to believe that Prosecutor Ruck-
elshaus and his deputy, Charles Benedict.
were not vigorous enough in their prosecu-
ton OF the defendants, and to show that the
men could be convicted he employed Clau-
sen to prosecute them with the permission
of Mr. Ruckelshaus. Ruckelshats said
yesterday that the case he tried perplexed
the jury twenty minutes, and two of the
Jurors voted for conviction on the first
settled In three minutes and on the first
ballot OF the Jury
