Municipal Judge at Milwaukee Holds
Prominent Business Man Not Guilty
Of Larceny as saiIee-case Taken
From Jury.

From Jury.
Milwaukee, Dec. 15.-Judge Brace,
of the municipal court, today decided
Charles F. Pfster, prominent busi-
ness man, not guilty of the charge OF
larceny as bailee of $4,000 belonging
to the Wisconsin Rendering Company.
The decision was on a motion to dis
miss the defendant, ater the state had
rested it's case.
Mr. Pfister was the recipient OF
many congratulations, after the de-
cision had been rendered. In inter-
view Ptister expressed himself as fol-
lows:
"One can comprehend the feelings Of
a man falsely accused. sitting day after
day in the criminal court, with
knowledge Of innocence in his heart,
and with the officers of a great state
seeking to convict him in any event.
There is nothing much can say. Alb
solute proof of my innocence was easy
Of ascertainment had the district at
torney cared to procure it. 1t may
seem a small thing to them to indict
and prosecute man for an Infamous
offense, but it is terrible thing for an
innocent man to be compelled to sub
init to 1t. have nothing to say at
this time as to the motives inspiring
those who sought to disgrace and ruin
me. I hope no innocent man will ever
be obliged to undergo the same ordeal.
MY Indictment was false. cruel and in
human, and my prosecution worse"

WEDDING DATE FEB. IL
Time for NuptiaIs Of Daughter Of the
President is Fixed.

washington, Dec. 15.--Representa-
tive Longworth spent Thursday after
noon at the White House, where some
friends had been asked to congratu-
late Miss Roosevelt and himself. They
also had the pleasure of seeing the
very handsome diamond ring which
Mr.. Longworth has long had in
readiness for the emergency which he
faced yesterday. It is a hoop Of d1a-
monds, perfectly matched stones, five
in number, in a dull gold band. Miss
Roosevelt is having reset and will pre-
sent to her fance the famous pearl
ring which was presented her by the
Sultan Of Sulu. It was announced to-
day to the friends who called to extend
congratulations that the wedding wilF
be on February IL, probably at
O'Clock though this latter is not quite
decided.
1t is also likely that Miss Roosevelt
will wear her mothers wedding gown,
which has been carefully preserved for
her by her grandmother, Mrs. George
C. Lee of Brookline, Mass. This gown
was to have been the one worn by Miss
Roosevelt when she made her debut
four years ago, but Mrs. Roosevelt dis
suaded her from this and advised her
to keep the gown for such an occas-
sion as that set for February.
Miss Roosevelt drove to the capitol
yesterday with Representative Long
worth in the smart high cart which her
father gave her about year ago. She
did not alight, however, to receive the
congratulations of the assembled
statesmen, but after a smiling good-by
to her future husband drove directly
back to the White House. where she has
been busy all day answering telephone
calls and kilograms.
AS a little more than two
months remain for the wedding
the details are being hurried
somewhat. Mr.. Longworthy is still un-
able to say whether he can get away
for, q long European trip, and Miss
Alice, who is ambitious for him and
determined not to interfere with his
political prospects, is willing to put off
the tourney even until next autumn.
After the wedding the young couple
will. after short visit to Mrs. Long
worth rent a furnished house here and
will also spend some time at the White
House. Mr.. Longworth is anxious to
bring his bride to his home city, Gin
cinnati, and he is planning such a trip
lust as soon as things lull a little in
congress during the post Lenten sea-

CUNNING CASE TO JURY.
Tara County Farmer Accused OF At
tempted Murder.


Special to es-Republican.
Toledo, Dec. 15.-The case of the
state of Iowa VS.. John Cunning, charg-
ed with the shooting of S. e. Berger,
went to the jury this morning, and an
early verdict is looked for. The de-
fense rested it's case late yesterday
afternoon and the arguments before
the Jury were concluded with the ex-
ception of the closing plea for the
state which was made by Judge j. f.
Caldwell this morning. The court then
instructed the jury.
1t is generally believed that the state
has made a strong case. There is, how
ever, considerable sympathy for the de-
fendant on account of his age. 1t is
believed he was victim of his temper
more than desire to kill his neighbor.
The sole line Of defense, however, was
along the theory that the gun was ac-
cidentally discharged while an attempt
to disarm Cunning was being made.
This view was combatted by the states
most credible witness who claimed
Berger was shot before the attempt to
disarm Cunning was made. The Sec
ond trial of Cunning for attempting to
kill ID. Hinegardner will be continued
until next term.
