CLARENCE BARNES
FOUND NOT GUILTY
The First Ballot Was Unanimous
and in Favor of Acquittal.
PATHETIC SCENES IN COURT
The Defendant and His Wife, Who
Sat Side by Side During the Trial,
Cried Like Children and u
ence Was Deeply Moved.

Troy, Mo-, Oct. 24.-Clarence A.
Barnes was acquitted Friday of the
charge of numbering Representative
Rhodes Clay at Mexico, Mo-, in August,
1902. The jury returned a verdict of
not guilty ut 4:55 o'clock Friday after
noon after being out As minutes. The
jurors agreed on the first ballolt.
A tap on the jury door told
that the jurymen were anxious to re-
turn the verdict. A path was made
for the jurors through the center aisle
of the court room, which was crowd
ed almost to s%uffocation. Foreman
Horatio Humphrey handed the verdict
to Judge Shelton, who read:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant not
guilty as charged"
Cheer after cheer greeted the de-
cision. So demonstrative were the peo-
pie in the court room that it vas sew
eral minutes before Judge Shelton re-
stored order. The judge reprimanded
the spectators severely for their con-
duct.
A sigh of relief escaped Mrs. A. G.
Barnes and her daughter, Irma, mother
and sister of the defendant, as the YER
dict was read. Then they burst into
tears. Clarence Barnes, too, was hap
py, and in the space of a few minutes
he had shaken hands with perhaps fifty
of his friends, who rushed to %congratu-
late him.
Col. Clay walked. up and down the
pavement in front of the courthouse
during the time the jury was out. The
verdict reached him through n of
the attorneys for the state. 1t is said
that it affected him greatly and was e
severe disappointment.
Before the case was submitted to the
jury Friday afternoon, the case had
the appearance of a funeral instead of
a cold court trial. The audience wept
as we'll as the defendant and his faith
full little wife at his side, and Col.
Green Clay, the hoary-headed father of
the deceased representative.
The first sad scene was when At
torney Voolfolk lor the state told of
his association with the brilliant young
representative in the state legislature,
and what a generous and reliable pub
lie servant he was, and as he held up
the dead mans coat, he said: cal
though Rhodes Clay's mouth is closed
forever, and his body lies under the
sod of his own county, yet the three
CHASTITY holes in this coat tell the
story of his murder"
The old father wept bitterly, and
Barnes friends sympathtized with him,
although they think it was a case of
self-defense. Another equally sad
scene, if not more so, was the closing
argument of Frank Jesse. for the de-
tense. He told the beautiful story of
Ruth and Naomi, and said he could
see Clarence Earnest going to his
faithful little wife the evening of their
wedding last June. on the very day
he was indicted for the murder. and
entreating her to remain with her
mother, but no, like Naomi, she chose
his God and his fate, although it
might be a felon's cell.
The defendant and his wife, who sat
side by side, cried like children, and
the audience seemed deeply moved.

between Canada and the sea, from the
Portland channel TO Mount ST. Elias.
"We have not been able to derive
any understanding from our colleagues
on the commission as to the principle
on which they have selected their line
of mountains, and our observations Of
the discussions which resulted in the
settlement of this line have led us 10
the conclusion that instead of resting
on any ineligible principle, the choice
of this line has been a compromise
between opposing and entirely ire
conciliable views OF the true meaning
of the original treaty. The result of
this compromise has, we think, been
a distinct sacrifice of the interests Of
Canada. When it was shows that there
were mountains parallel with the coast
within the meaning of the treaty, the
only logical course, in our Judgment,
was to adopt as a boundary the our
tains in the immediate vicinity of the
coast.
Notwithstanding the general ques-
ton of inlets, the tribunal finds against
the contention of Canada. We are
both strongly of the opinion that this
conclusion is wrong, and we rave put
upon record at length the reasons for
our view ir this respect.
FINALLY, if the six members of the
tribunal bad each given an individual,
judicial decision on each of the ques-
lions submitted, we would have con-
ceived it to be u duty, under the
treaty OF 1903, however much we might
have differed with our colleagues, to
have joined in signing the document
which constituted the official record of
answers.
1--WE do not consider the finding of
the tribunal as to the islands at the
entrance of Portland channel or as to
the mo ntain line a judicial enc. We
have therefore declined to be parties
to the award.
"Our position during the conferences
of the tribunal has been an unfortunate
one. We have been in entire accord
between ourselves, and have severally
and jointly urged our views as strongly
as we were able; but we nave been
compelled to witness the sacrifice Of
the interests of Carada. We were pow
erless to prevent it, though satisfied
that the course which the majority was
determined to pursue in respect to the
matters above specially referred to. ig-
nored the just rights of Canada"

ENGROsSED COPY SIGNED.

of the
London, Oct. 21.-The engrossed copy
of the Alaskan award was signed al
2:10 p m. The Canadians declined 10
sign the award, as previously cableI.
The award relating to the Portland
channel gives the United States two
islands, K%annaghunut and Sitklan,
commanding the entrance of the Port
land channel and the ocean passage TO
Port Simpson, thus destroying the
strategic value Of Wales and Pearse
islands, which are given to Canada,
The mountain line adopted as the
boundary line so far from the coast as
to give the United States substantially
all the territory. The line completely
clears all the bays and inlets, and
means of access to the sea, giving the
United StGtes a complete barrier be-
tween Canada and the sea, from Port
land channel to Mount St. Elias.
Around the head Of the Lynn canal the
line follows the watershed, somewhat
in accordance with the present provi-
Sional boundary.

Minister SjftOns' Views,

In an interview, Clifford Sifton, the
Canadian minister of the interior and
ag11t of Great Britain, said:
"The award was substantially in IA
vor of the United States all along the
lines. We have, it is true, succeeded
tions-firstly, as to the Portland canal,
and, secondly, as to the existence OF
a mountain boundary line, but while
finding in favor of our contentious
upon these phases of the case, the tri-
bunal has worked out a line in such
a way as to deprive us Of all practical
benefit. While we get Wales and
Pearse islands, which the Americans
have been in possession Of for some
years, they are deprived of value to
Canada by the fact that the two islands
which lie Immediately outside and com
mand the entrance to Observatory in.
let and to Port Simpson, are given to
the United States. | do not profess ia
understand the principles on which
these islands are given away.
"The mountain boundary line, while
adopted as contended for by Canada
is drawn so far back that the United
States gets practically all she has seri-
ously contended for.
CAS- to u position on the subject
of the heads of inlets, it has apparent
ly received no consideration from the
majority of the tribunal"
When questioned regarding the con
duct of the case, Mr.. Sifton said:
II have to say that the agent and
counsel of the United States have act.
ed with perfect courtesy and good
faith throughout"

Montreal, Oct. 21.-A strong feeling
of disappointment and resentment per-
vades the local atmosphere in regard
to the Alaskan award, but while in pri-
vate talk people express themselves as
disguised, they guard themselves very
carefully in their public ~utterances, and
it is difficult to get much beyond ex-
pressions Of disappointment. Some Of
the prominent men like Mr.. McNicoll,

madam Pacific railroad, openly ridicule
the idea that the Canadian interests
have not been looked after properly
and have been sacrificed.

FOREST FIRES OUT.

During the latter part Of last week
forest fires did a great amount of
damage in Washington county. On
Worcester mountain a strip of wood
land five miles in length was burned
over and for time several farm
buildings on Hampshire Hill were in
great danger, but the only building
destroyed was deserted mill on the
mountain. @. O. Putnam and Son
and Baird and Ross are the heaviest
losers there. On Mt. Hunger in Mid
dlesex p. j., John and William Nc
Avoy lost 400, 900 feet of spruce logs
and some valuable standing timber.
Other losers here were O. @. Putnam,
Lon Leonard, Frank George and Geo.
Poor, In the vicinity of Waterbury
there were fires on Hogback LOOMS
Hill and Woodward Hill and consid-
cable damage was done. On Friday
fires come up the side of Mt. Mans
field from Underhill driving people
away from the Summit House and de-
stroying some valuable standing tim
her,. 1t was feared at one time that
the Summit House would go. At
Lanesboro the fire continued during
the week burning over some valuable
timber land toward Peacham pond.
1t also worked in the direction of
Groton pond and several summer cot
tages there barely escaped destrcu-
ton During the latter part of the
week the wind was not so strong
thus aiding the workers in their
efforts to keep the fires from spread
ing. and during Sunday night and
Monday the long looked for rain
came, practically extinguishing the
flames. The fires are still shoulder
ing in places but no further outbreaks
are looked for.

GRADU1IION RECITAL

Four young ladies, Misses Hersey
Burnham, Celley and Hills, who are
graduates this year from the vocal
course at the seminary, Tuesday evenin z
gave recital in the chapel accord
ing to the established custom. They
were assisted by H. X. Stevens, cor 1.
netist. Miss H. Julia Gross, instruct
or, was accompanist and there was
abundant evidence of superior in
struction and skilful training in the
purity and excellence of tones, and
voice control shown by the young
ladies-to say nothing of noticeable
improvement since last year. The
program consisted of nine numbers,
including "a ladies quartet, duets by
Misses Celley and Hills, Misses Burn
ham and Hersey, and solos by each
selected from Mendelssohn, Schubert
and other famous composers. Miss
Celley sang Memberships Spring
Song, and The Butterfly" by John
son very sweetly. Miss Hills essayed
quite successfully bit from a French
opera and Miss Hersey sang in an a
very pleasing manner, Con Wien
Partir" by among others.
Miss Burnham has contralto voice
of much power and sweetness and her
rendering of Schubert's "Du Bist die
Rub" was perhaps her best effort.
Mr.. Stevens played Emmet's Lul-
laby and "Violets' from The Little
Duchess and kindly responded to the
demand for more, which followed
each.
