rumored about the city that the dead
would be brought to Manhattan from
North Brother island and other places
where at first the dead had been
taken. When tho Massasoit came to
dock with eighty five dead the work
of removing the bodies from the

For the prosecution City Attorney
Carnahan was equally vehement. He
fought and dicusssed every step that
had been taken by the city to purge
the city of bawdy women and houses
of i'll fame.
The case was given to the jury at a
late hour last evening
AT about nine O'Clock this morning
the jury in the case of the city
against Pearl Miller brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
1t is stated that the jury, which
remained out over night had voted
through the night to 2 for acquittal.
The jury. it is stated, did not hesitate
so much upon the guilt or innocence
of the woman as upon the question
whether the costs of the prosecution
should be taxed against those who
brought the charge.
1t is said that the ministers will
not let up on the prosecution and that
their efforts will be seconded by the
city attorney, who was quite cha grin
