IS FREE
The Jury Acquits Trevor Man of
MansIaughter After Three
Hours of BaIIoting
ACCUSED SHOWS EMOTION
Is Formally Discharged by the Court
and Overwhelms the Jurors With
His Thanks-The Result of the
Trial Not Unexpected
From Thursdays Daily

Nicholas ]. Schuma cher, the Trevor
saloonkeeper, who has been on trial
in the Circuit court for the past week
on a charge Of killing John Wren,
left the court room a free man at 10
O'Clock this morning. The jury was
given the case just after O'Clock
last night and at 9 O'Clock it had re-
turned sealed verdict of acquitta1.
Only few ballots were taken, and
from the first it is said that the ma
jority'of the jurors were in favor of
releasing Schumacher on the grounds
that the killing of Wren was excusa-
BILE homicide.
AS Judge Be1den had returned to
Racine just after the case had gone to
the jury last night, he left word with
the jurors that should they reach a
verdict it should be sealed and left in
the hands of the foreman until this
morning.
When court convened at 9 O'Clock
this morning the court room was
pretty well filed with people who
On account of the fact that the Jury
had reached a verdict in so short a
time, it was generally conceded that
the verdict would be one of 'tNot
Guilty." Schumacher had gone to
his home in Trevor last night, but he
was early on the ground this morning
and was waiting at the court house an
hour before the verdict was opened.
Notwithstanding the fact that his
friends had assured him that the
early verdict could mean nothing but
freedom for him, Schumacher showed
signs of worry and he paced up and
down in front of the court room
eagerly awaiting the coming of the
officers of the court
When the jury finally filed into the
box, Schumacher was sitting in a
chair near Attorney Baker, who had
been in charge of the prosecution.
When the verdict was read Schu-
macher could not refrain from show
ing his emotion, and two great tears
of joy chased each other down his
face. AS the jurors began to leave
the jury box, Schuma cher rushed over
and insisted on personally thanking
every one of them and assuring them
that he was grateful for the verdict
they had reached.
After the verdict had been read,
Attorney Cavanagh at once moved
that Schuma cher be discharged, and
the order was at once entered. Schu-
macher left the court room sur
rounded by body of his friends, and
he at once started for his home to
bear the glad tidings to his wife and
children.
Attorney Baker had little to say in
regard to the case more than that he
had put up as hard fight as possible
for the conviction of Schumacher and
that he thought he had established
good case. The evidence against
Schumacher was of such a nature
that from the first the district attor-
ney had feared the outcome, but he
decided that all he could do was to
render the best possible service to the
county.
The attorneys for Schumacher ex-
pressed no surprise at the verdict and
stated that they had expected such a
verdict from the start.

The Athlete LII Politics.


Many stories have been told about
the physical prowess Of the new first
assistant secretary of state, Robert
Bacon, and they suggest that we are
growing into the possession Of new
type Of statesman, who might perhaps
be styled ''the athlete IN politics. We
have had the scholar in politics and
the business man In politics and the
clergyman in politics, but the athlete
In politics is in the nature of a new
discovery and one that is significant Of
the tendencies of the time in the mat
ter Of habits of life in this country.
Mr.. Bacon has been eminent as a bust
ness man and has many other Qualifi-
cations for his posi- besides that of be-
ing an athlete but the public has been
especially interested in the fact that.
though approaching middle age, he is
still very fond of games and sports
which afford vigorous and healthful
exercise
In the last campaign we had the
spectacle Of two good specimens Of the
athlete in politics appealing to the suf-
frages Of the people as candidates for
the highest Office in the gift of the ma
ton. Judge Parker kept up his horse
back rides and his early morning
swims in the Hudson, no matter what
the exigencies of the political situation,
and Mr.. Roosevelt never let anxiety in
regard to the election interfere with
his enjoyment Of outdoor diversions.
Elihu Root secretary Of state and
head of the cabinet and his first assist
ant, Mr.. Bacon, are much the same
kind Of men physically. Mr.. Root,
though he has reached the chloroform-
ing age, according to Osler, is still ath-
letic and fond of open air pursuits.
When President Roosevelt went on
his hunting trip IN the west last spring
he left Secretary Taft with his 500
pounds to stay IN Washington and "sit
on the i'd" as the chief executive him
self put it. Judge Taft, who tipped the
scales at 225 even as boy of seven
teen, was a weighty factor in cane
rJSGhes at college and has always been
noted for his physique Horseback rid
ing is his favorite method of obtaining
exercise. Attorney General Moody,
who is short and thickset and has a
well Drowned complexion, walks eight
or ten miles day and Is a good horse
man. One might go on enumerating
other men IN public life at Washington
whose habits Of life are similar. The
late William NJ. Evarts held tenacious
" to the theory that exercise was
something altogether unnecessary, and
a great many statesmen of his time
acted on this theory If they did not
preach It. The doctors said that if the
late President Mckinley had been in
the habit of taking more vigorous ex-
ercfse be would have been better abla
to resist the effects Of the attack Of the
assassin.
The strain Of the life of today in the
professions and business is exhaustive
Of vital energy and injurious to the
bodily functions, and unless some way
Of recuperation is found the pace can
not be held long. The increased atten-
ton to various phases Of outdoor life
among this class of men shows that
the fact is coming to have greater anil
greater recognition
