PENNnxss WOMAN



Mrs. Grace HnnH arrived at the Balti-
more and Ohio depot from Wheeling, w.
Va. last night carrying her sixteen-months-
old boy In her arms. The baby is unusu-
ally bright and attractive, and while at
police headquarters this morning num-
Der OF persons suggested the idea OF adopt
ing him. MRS. Hume, however, said she
could not live without the boy.
Her story to Detective O'Dea at the depot
last night was that she lived near VIII
Transport, Pa, and that her husband de-
serted her before THE birth of the child.
A few days ago she answered an advertise
ment of an invalid woman for companion
and went to western Pennsylvania to &C
cept the position. Upon reaching her pros
pective place of employment she found that
she would have to nurse the woman and
do all the homework. In addition to this
she was expected to milk cows, feed pigs
and chickens and do other work on the
farm.
The young woman said she found 1t to be
physical impossibility to perform all that
was required Of her during twenty-four
hours and was compelled to seek employ
ment elsewhere. The only thing she
thought of was to return home, and with
what money she had she paid her fare as
far as Wheeling. Charitable people there
sent her as far as this city, and when she
reached here she was penniless:
Detective O'Dea sent her to the house OF
detention, where Mrs. Thornberg, the
matron, cared for her and the child until
this morning, when she. was placed In the
care of the board of charities Mrs. Hume
said she had found the people here so kind
that she thought she would like to remain
and get employment. She said she would
willingly accept position as domestic
In private family IL she could only have
her child with her.

Launch Owners, Complaint.

Complaint is made by the overs of small
launches and others Of the anchoring OF
sand scows in the channel to Georgetown at
Its junction with the main channel of the
river. A string Of barges, numbering six or
seven. tied end to end, are often moored in
the channel overnight. No light is placed
on them, and change In the tide or wind
will send them across the channel, as they
are seldom anchored but at one end, and
small vessels coming up the river after
dark are often In great danger of running
into them. Single barges are also moored
In the channel and left without lights, and
accidents are avoided often by narrow
margin. 1t is stated that some concerted
action will be taken by the small boat own
ers to put a stop to the dangerous practice.

which resulted in the .amputation of his

VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL
GEN. TYNER AND MR.. BARRETT
DECLARED NOT GUILTY.
The Jury Deliberates but Little More
Than Twenty Minutes-Both
Defendants Present

Within twenty-five minutes of the time
the jury retired In the case of James N.
Tyner and Harrison j. Barrett, tried on
charges of conspiracy In competition with
their duties as law officers of the Post
once Department, verdict of not guilty
was rendered shortly before 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The throng which filed
the court room of Criminal Court No. 1
throughout the summing-up arguments of
counsel hardly had time to leave the build
Ing before the jury was back and the fore
man announced that verdict had been
reached. General Tyner had been wheeled
from the room, but his co-defendailt hast
ened to give an order which caused his re-
turn
General Tyner appeared to be somewhat
agltated as he attempted to face the jury.
when the verdict was uttered he gave way
TO tears. The jurors shook hands with him,
with Mr.. Barrett and the members of their
party
The Tyner-Barrett case was begun May
ana was before the court nineteen days.
great mass of testimony was offered.
The prosecution brought forward an army
OF witnesses a majority of whom were for
mer officers of bond investment companies.
through which HI. ]. Barrett, the junior de-
PENDANT. was alleged to have profited after
he left the Post Office Department by prac-
hcing before Gen. Tyner who remained In
Office.
Justice Pritchard concluded his charge at
$3.50 o'clock and at 1852 o'clock the result
was known. To those who had followed the
proceedings closely neither the purport of
the verdict nor Its prompt rendition was Il
surprise. 1t Is understood that the first
vote of the jurors would have been unani-
mously for acqufttal but for uncertainty
felt by one member of the body. He was
quickly won over, however, by his COL
leagues
Expresses Thanks to Jurors.
When the important words were spoken
by the foreman of the jury General Tyner's
wife, his physician and Mr.. Barrett were
near him. 1t was feared that by reason of
his enfeebled condition and the severe
strain he has been under he might have
broken down completely. Although the
tears rolled down General Tyner's cheeks
he was able to respond to the congratula-
tons of his rela tives, friends and attorneys
the jury box. The aged defendant thanked
each juror personally as did Mr.. Barrett,
Mrs. Tyner, Mrs. Barrett ana Mr.. Barrett's
mother. Fully half an hour was consumed
by these Fluctuations. Then General Tyner
was taken to his carriage and the other
members of the defendants party proceed
ed to their homes.
There remains an indictment pending
against Mr.. Barrett for violation of section
1852 of the Revised Statutes relating to an
pensation in a matter in which the United
States is interested. Although the prose-
cutting officers say that Barrett will be
called upon 10 answer this charge, the de-
Tense insists that the accusation will not
stand, because 1t was practically disposed
of by the verdict rendered yesterday. No
further charges are pending against General
Tyner
