Paddy Lynch Has Been Con.
victed Of kidnapping
Chas. Gardner
WILL DEMAND NEW TRIAL
Jury DeIlberatsd for Over Thirty
Hours Before Bringing In
Their Verdict.

Guilty an charged was the yerdle,
returned after 30 ~ hours dellbera.
tlon by the Circuit Court Jury In the
case ~ Patrick J, Lynch, charged with
the crime OF kidnapping by shanghailng
Charles Gardner on board the British
ship roylesdale on March II last The
verdict was 'endered al 10 O'Clock last
night.
Theodore Toblason. who was indlct-
ed and tried with Lynch on the charge
of forging Gardners name TO the ship
ping articles was also declared guilty,
but was recommended 10 the mercy OF
the eourt and jail sentence.
Judge Mcbride thanked the jury for

Just decision. Lynch was ordered
scnt 10 jail pending his sentence, the
Judge refusing 10 allow him 10 remain

molten for new trial VIII be argued
on saturday,April %.
II is thought that this win have the
result OF putting check on the 'shang-
hating business ~ this po,t While
little attempt has ever been hadr to
stop II by law, owing to the diftIoulty
Of obtaining evidence. II is generally
believed that many men have been un-
willingly and. unlawfully placed on
board outward bound vessels by the
conylctsd man and his hirelngs dur
Ing years past. which Is supposed to
account also FOR many mysterious dis
appearances Lynch viii probably he
given the full limit of the law. which
is 10 years In the penitentiary.
Owing to the nature OF the crime this
has been one Of the NOSE exciting cases
tried IN Astoria in years. Public sem
tlment has been very pronounced
against such offenses. and the vigorous
action Of the officers Of the law has
been heartily commended. The ex-
ceeding skin and vigilance exercised by
district Attorney Allen and Deputy
Eakn IN preparing their case and bring
Ing II 70 successful issue against the
talent and determination of the defense
Is generally appreciated among justice
loving people.

ed By the Editors.

London, April ls.-All the daily pap
crs express in editorials this morning
their regret at the misfortune which
pursue Sir Thomas Liptons courageous
attemuts TO life the Aemrica's cup.
Several papers for the first time ad-
NIT that high hopes we're entertained
OF his success. and trust that the in
eyitable delay VIII not spoil Shamrock
Ifis chances The Standard thinks
that further explanation Of the ac-
cident Is needed. II remarks that the

now II Is a screw that snapped
We do not hear that these break
ages occur on American boats
The Standard fears that Sir Thomas
Lipt0n's chances, at no time very good,
are less than ever. Another paper
asks why there were no life buoys
aboard to throw to the seaman, Collier,
who was drowned.
The Field publishes an exhaustive
analysis Of the Americas cup chaiIeng-
er. Assuming that Shamrock / is in
the same trim as in 1901. the paper
considers that Shamrock III could al
low Shamrock about Is to IS seconds
Ter mile. If she can carry her sail,
continues the Field. the challenger Is
likely to prove a slippery customer.
Should she fall in the cup races 1t will
probably be because Herresehoff has
made some great advance In the speed
of his new boat on reach. 1t would
not be asy TO design q more weatherly
boat than the challenger. but in theory
II should not be impossible to design
a considerably faster boat for reach
ing or running.
