THE LITERARY WORLD

The cover design Of the April Pear
sons is a striking sketch by J. n.
Marchand Of Sir Henry Morgan, Buc-
caneer-the chief character of new
serial by Cyrus Townsend Brady which
Dagins in this number DIR. Brady paints
with a masters hand the fascinating
character of this notorious buccameer
swayed by the strongest and fiercest
OF human passions, and the picture he
draws OF the manners and customs Of
those times is so vivid, the action of
his story to swift, and the situations
SO thrilling that the reader finds this
nrst instalment all too short and looks
forward eagerly to the continuation.

one OF the leading novels of the year.
The pathetic story of Admeh Drake
IN the April instalment of The Plea

laughter excited by the adventures of

ENGINEER WISKER ACQUITTED
nor GUILTY OF NEGLIGENCE IN
THE TUNNEL CRASH.

HIS WIFE weeps ana He Hugs Ills Counsel
When the Jury's Verdict Ii Announced
-Folks In Court Had Expected an
Acquittal-Jury Was Out Two Hour.
John M. wisker. engineer Of the New
York Central train which crashed into q
New Haven Railroad train in the Park
avenue tunnel on Jan. 9. last year, causing
the loss Of seventeen Lives. was acquitted
yesterday on the charge Of manslaughter
In the second degree on which he has been
on trial before Justice Scott In the Criminal
Branch Of the Supreme Court.
The jury debated Wisker's case for about
two hour. All that time Wisker was In q
state Of extreme agitation. The acquittal
did not move him much, but his wife wept
when she heard the verdict. Wisker
Rugged his lawyer. Frank Moss. when the
Justice announced that he was free. Mr..
Moss eaid he was overjoyed.
Wisker was accus cd Of causing the death
Of Oscar Meyrowitz by cupsble negli-
gence a an engineer. He testified that he
did not see a green caution" signal at
Sixty-third street, which was seen by his
fireman. owing to steam and smoke in the
Sound traIn. and therefore d7a not slo nS up
80 when he came suddenly upon the red
danger signal at Fifty eighth street he was
unable to stop his train before 1t smashed
into the stalled New Haven train.
The verdict was not q surprise to those
who are accustomed to watch trials in the
courts, though 1t was generally believed
that Assistant District Attorney Rand
had proved that Wisker passed the caution
signal when he might have seen 1t and also
had taken out his engine although he con-
sidered 10 detective. A rule of the COM
pany forbids an engineer to do this
In his charge Jus ice Scott told the jurors
that no one but Wisker was on trial. He
said that the condition Of the tunnel must
be considered by the jurors as well as the
condition Of the engine and air brakes. II
Wisker had omitted to do anything he
ought to have done he was guilty.
When the jury retired, Wisker's head
sank In his hands. Mr.. Noes said that the
accident had preyed upon the engineers
mind to such an extent that Wisker might
be expected to become insane over It. His
mental condition OF present. which made
him appear a dull and excitable person
when on the stand, Mr.. Mos said, was
due to his long continued anxiety and
had changed him from an alert. capable
engineer.
Wlsker was congratulated by q host Of
persons who assembled at the Criminal
Courts Building to learn his fate.

GABRILOWITSCH's RECITAL.
Tho Young Russian Pianist Reappears ~
Mendelssohn Hall.

MendelsSohn Hall.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the young Russian
pianist, has returned from his journeyings
up and down the earth. and yesterday
afternoon gave the first OF two farewell
recitals at Mendelssohn Hall. The esteem
in which he Ii now held by this public was
betokened by an audience Of goodly aise
on a day when maiden peditation would
naturally be tempted from Chopin to shop
windows. The pianist's programme was
the intellect and only one composition
calling for an attitude of large receptvity.
His numbers were Schubert's A major
sonata. Sohumanns fantasy In O major,
6nopn .e, minor os nostoTGs hsn': Ts.a
vanee opus 4. Arensky's 'BiEarurre.'
r major Llapounow's berceuse In r sharp,
and Liszt's tarantelle, .venexia Napoh.
The gsmut Of Mr.. Gabrilowitsoh's musi-
cal Suslistie: Il, has i been pI,stty thoroughly
season. He Is departing from us a much
greater artist than he was two years ago.
He has gained greatly In that supreme
essential Of his art, self-mastery. His
readings are gradually approaching that
mand Of esouroe. Two years ago he
would have been too frivolous in the trans
parent little Schubert sonata and too bois-
ferrous In the Schumann fantasy. Yes
terday he played the sonata with charming
confluence, with fresh and unaffected
simplicity and with gentle nuency. 1t was
a reading almost hawless, and II made q
pretty trihle well worth hearing. In the
fantasy he displayed poetic sympathy
and insight, and set forth hie conception
in rich and varied tone and with some very
beautiful nuancing. In q few places his
pedalling failed OF It's intended effect, but,
on the whole. his playing was admirable.
His second recital will take place next

Only . Quickly Secured Witt Of Habeas

Justice Francis NJ Scott yesterday re-
fused the application Of Al Adams, the
convicted policy king. for a certificate Of

unexpected that 1t threw the policy kings
lawyers into q panic. They finally got .

client from Sing Sing until Monday at least.
Justice SCOTS opinion was handed down
about 1 o'clock, and Assistant District
Attorney Schurman Immediately entered
the order denying the motion for the GER
tificate. vacating the stay Of execution
granted last Tuesday, and directing the
sheriff to see that the original sentence
was carried out.

When he heard Of the adverse decision
he held hasty consultation with his esso-
ciates. and then went TO Part III. Of the

doubt, but secured from Justice Giegerich

He said last night that he couldn't tell
what course he'd pursue to get Adams TO
Sing Sing until he found out what the
plans Of the opposing counsel were.
