PARKS GUILTY. .
Second Conviction by Jury
Within Two Months.
Much Crestfa|Ien When Remanded
for Sentence, a Week Hence.
He Is Now Awaiting Jail on Two Con.
victions and Is III.

New York, Oct. 30.-For the second
time within two months Samuel j.
Parks, walking delegate of House
smiths and Bridgemens Local, No. 2,
was convicted Of extortion in the court
of general session, this afternoon. 1t
took the jury just IL minutes during
which they took two ballots, to agree
on the guilt of Parks, who,' this time,
was accused of extorting $500 from the
Tiffany Studios, local firm of con-
tractors, under threat of keeping them
from continuing their work on build
ings, last January.
Since the trial began, Monday, a
great deal of interest has been taken
in the proceedings, as Parks was de-
Tended by a distinguished array Of
counsel. which included Former Assist
ant District Attorneys James w. Os-
borne, Barlow S. Weeks and George
Gordon Battle. 1t was shown that
Parks had obtained $500 from the Tiff
fanny firm as an Initiation fee," last
January, when the housesmiths and
bridgemen were on strike on three Of
the Tiffany contracts in this city.
Parks claimed that this money was
fine levied by his labor union.
During the trial the fact developed
that Parks had been disloyal to his
union. inasmuch as he permitted the
Tiffany firm to employ non-union men
on CONCERN jobs after having received
the $500. The accusation was not de-
MED by the defendant or his counsel
during the trial. but the latter contend
ed that Parks had given the money to
the treasurer of his organization and
that the entire transaction was a bust
ness deal which instead of being a
crime afforded considerable business
advantages to the firm which paid the
money.
During the trial counsel for Parks
endeavored to introduce certificates as
to the prisoners delicate state Of health.
but Judge Newburger, before whom the
case was tried, refused to admit them.
Mr.. Osborne made an excellent de-
fence, while Mr.. Rand. on behalf OF the
people, placed Parks In a very unenvi-
able light both to the public and his
fellow labor unionsts in his summing
up to the jury. For a. time it looked
as if Mr.. Osborne's efforts had made
deep impression on a few of the jury
men. but if any Of them favored the
prisoner before the case was given to
them by Judge Newburger, the brief
charge by the court was sufficient to
clear their minds Of any doubt as to
the prisoners guilt.
Judge Newburger said in his charge
that it made no difference what dispo-
sition Parks made OF the money after
he had obtained it from the representa-
tives of the Tiffany firm. II in. the be-
lief of the jurymen he had obtained it

that fact would constitute extortion.

of producers to accept lower quotations
for their surplus. The movement of
the grain crops follows closely the
gauge of prices which are held well

fairly good, the steadiness of prices
