TIMER AND BARRETT
 ACQUITTED BY JURY
VERDICT AFTER TWENTY-TW0
 MINUTES DELTBERATION
End of One of the Postal Fraud Cases- General Tyner Breaks DOwn-severaI of Jurors Weep With Him and All Shake His Hand-The Judges Charge No Right to Entertain sympathy.

-~----
 Washington, May 25.-Within twenty two minutes of the retirement of the jury in the case of James N. Tyner and Harrison J. Barrett, tried on charges of conspiracy in connection with their duties as law officers for the postoffice department, verdict of not guilty was returned. General Tyner, expecting a much longer wait, had been wheeled from the room, and his nephew and co-defendant hastened to give an order which caused him to re- turn.
 General Tyner appeared greatly ex- cited as he attempted to face the jury, and when the verdict was returned he broke down completely. Several of the jurors wept with him, and all of them shook hands with him.
 The Tyner- Barrett case was begun on May and has been before the court nineteen days. A great mass of testi- mony was offered. The prosecution brought forward an army of witnesses, through which Harrison. J. Barrett, the junior defendant, was alleged to have profited after he left the postoffice de- pertinent by practicing before his un-s cle, who remained in the department.
 The principal arguments made to-day were by A. s. Worthington, for the de- fense, and Major Holmes Conrad, spe- cial counsel for the government for the prosecutions The latter directed his efforts almost entirely to an attempt to counteract any influence on the yer dict which might result from sympathy for General Tyner. He told the jury that they had no right to entertain sympathy for General Tyner or the young wife of MT. Barrett. who was a witness in the defendants behalf
 Judge Pritchard's charge to the jury was long. Among other things he told the jury that it had had an opportunS ity to observe the conduct of all the witnesses, and could take into consid- eration any interest they may have had In giving their testimony He called their attention to the testimony of the defendants and the weight that should be attached to their statements. The court said in conclusion that the jury might find the defendants guilty as to each count charged in the indict- ment or acquit them as to one count or acquit them as to one count and find them guilty as to the other, or return a verdict of not guilty on both counts.

An Unprecedented Armx.

FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE
LEADER NOW DENIES HE oR-
 DERED ALI MEN OUT.
Those Outside of New York Struck Against His Advice, He says--No Men Called Ont in Boston and None Will Be-consolidated Tells Civic Federation No Conference With the strikers Will be Granted.
Strikers VIII be Granted.

New York, May 25.-L. J. Curran, of Chicago. president of the Freight
 Handlers organization, tonight denied |that he had ordered a general strike along the line of the New Haven rail- road. He said that he had received
 word from Providence New Bedford. |Stonington, Fall River and Waterbury
 to the effect that all the freight hand
 lers and marine firemen had stopped
 work, but that the action was against his advice and because the men desired to stop work at once rather than at 8 later date. No men had been called out lin Boston, he said, and in all probabil- Iity they would not be-.
 Captain Miller, general manager of the marine department of the railroad, was mistaken when he said l gave an ultimatum demanding the discharge of the new men," added MT. Curran. My demands were and are that all our men be taken back in a body, and my pres ent proposition through the Civic Fed eration is that we be taken back on the |old terms of 30 cents an hour pending arbitration
 Captain Miller, after saying that he had replaced both striking freight handlers and striking firemen, stated fthat the offer of the Civic Federation
 to mediate had been received. He had |replied that no conference with the strikers would be granted, as it was useless. He had promised the new men Ito keep them permanently, and he would keep his promise.
 President Mellen, of the New Haven
 road, has not yet replied to a message sent him, through the Civic Federation, informing him that the men were will- ing to return to work in the event that
 he would consent to arbitration of the matters in dispute after their return.
 Late in the afternoon President Cur ran received a telegram stating that the railroad company had succeeded in securing in Buffalo about fifty marine |firemen and were sending them down to New York. On receipt of this news pickets were immediately dispatched to the ferries to catch the men on their arrival and turn them back if possible. President Curran claimed that the com pany was employing professional strike breakers, paying one man at least $l50 a day for securing laboring men for them.
 The sound boats all sailed on time to- night and most of them carried approx. imately a full cargo of freight.
