Jury Finds Men Accused Of Consp
racy Not Guilty.

Washington, D. c., May 27.-With'
in twenty-five minutes Of the retire
ment of the jury in the case of James
N. Tyner and Harrison J. Barrett,
tried on charge of conspiracy in con-
nection with their duties in the law
office of the postofiice department, a
verdict of not guilty was returned.
General Tyner, who is an invalid,
appeared greatly excited as he faced
the Jury, and when the verdict was
returned he broke down. Several OF
the jurors wept with him and all OF
them shook hands with him..
The Tyner-Barrett case was begun
on May 2. and has been before the
court nineteen full days. A great
mass of testimony was offered. The
prosecution brought forward many
witnesses, most of whom were former
officers of bond investment compan'
les, through which Harrison ]. Bar.
rett, the junior defendant. was alleged
to have profited after he left the
postoffice department by practicine
before his uncle, who remained in
the department.
Judge Pritchard's charge to the
jury was long. He emphasized the
fact that the jury should not be in
fluenced by prejudice on the one hant
or by sympathy on the other, and sale
the case should be tried solely or
It's merits and without regard t.
what effect the verdict might have or

OF conspiracy and made plain the
meaning of reasonable doubt"

General Kuropatkin Is Getting Ready
For Big Battle.
st. Petersburg, May 26.-There are
indications that General Kuropatkin is
preparing to make very important
move against the army. One Of the
:easons for this belief is the sudden
increased restrictions upon the war
correspondents at the front. The pre-
,ailing belief here is that General
xuroki's army is in difficulties.
Telegraphic, communication with
New Chwang is Interrupted and pri-
5ate messages for points south of Lao
Yang are refused here at the telc'
graph office. The nature of the in
corruption with New Chwang is not
Known, but the cause for refusing
messages south of Lao Yang is the
complete absorption Of the lines for
military purposes.
