MISSOURI SoLON ACQUITTED.
Jury Finds That Senator Farris 10 Not
Guilty Of Bribery.


JEFFERSON City. Mos Aug state
senator IL Farris was today acquitted
by Jury in the circuit court on a
charge Of bribery in connection with q
bill Introduced at the session of tho
state legislature In 1901 TO repeal the
statute prohibiting the use Of alum in
the manufacture OF baking powder,
commonly known as the 'alum bill
The Jury retired to consider verdict
at 1856 last night. The first ballot re-
suited eight for acquittal and four for
conviction. The same result continued
on subsequent ballots and the jury
was locked UP for the night at 1880
p. m.
AT 1925 In the morning word came
from the jury room that a verdict had
been reached and Judge Davis conven-
ed a special session OF court to hear
the result. The acQuittal was greeted
with cheers by the friends Of Senator
Farris and Is latter was warmly con-
graduated.
The trial had lasted for a week, the
principal testimony for the state being
that Of fofuner Lieutenant Governor
John A. Lee, on whose testimony be-
8ors the grand jury indictments were
returned against Farris and former
State Senator G. A. Smith.
lt was arranged today that the APP
plic,,tion for change Of venue in the
case Of Smith be withdrawn, as it is
regarded that the acquittal Of Farris
pre- cludes the possibility Of a convic-
ton in the Smith case, as the charges
I Iii each instance were identical. The
Smith case, will be taken up before
Judge Martin and 1t is announced will
! be dismissed by the state.

overheard the name.

Her recollections Of that name were
not pleasant. However. she thought
no more about the matter, but sailed

"You may not have the. chance OF

Margery pointed fat finger to the
card in question, and Miss Bull NUT
tered something about her eyesight
getting worse. Madame knew that this
was just done to annoy her, as Miss
Bulls sight was excellent. To revenge
herself she took Margery away. "Go
and tell the servants to send up the
negus and sandwiches" she said
sharply.
Margery rose heavily. She was a
huge girl twenty years Of age and
apparently very stupid. Why sharp
little Miss Bull, who loved no one, had
taken to her no one knew, but the two
were inseparable. Seeing this, madame
usually kept Margery hard at work In

to see a great deal of her one friend
MADAME had an idea of the reason fol
this, but at the present moment did
not think it necessary to interfere. She
was quite capable of crushing Miss
Bull when the need arose. Meantime
she vented her temper by sending Mar

Hobbies and saloons today. Mr.. Pl1ster
says nothing. His attorneys also say
nothing, on the plea that that is not
the point at issue. That Mr.. P6ster
holds all the trumps In the hand just
dealt by the grand jury is certainty.
Mr.. Pfister's friends say that as Ii is
wei, known fact that La Toilette has
publicly expressed his contempt for
his foe, and as District Attorney Nc
Govern is one of the governors best

be cited before the jury with view to
indicting him on another count. 1t is
generally admitted that the jury did
not believe Mr.. Pfster had embezzled
but that in trying to catch him indicted
him ON the only count they could find.
In the effort to conjecture who 1t was
that started the inquiry it has been re-
called that Henry G. Coll, former as
sistant cashier of the First National
bank. who now awaits trial as the ac-
comrlice of Frank G. Bigelow. and who
had access to the books, recently testi-
fled before the grand jury.
The penalty under the statute for
Pflister's alleged offense is severe. IT.
is from one to five years in prison, no
alternative of fine being allowed.
Schultz Seems Prosecuted.
The concensus of local opinion is
that Frank Schultz's last indictment is
unjust. He is charged with perjury in
the preparation Of his defense to the
extortion charges preferred by the
grand jury. The grand jury now builds
second charge on the top of the first
one before the merits Of the case are
Heard and while Schultz is presumed
to he innocent without nothing more
than the word of self-confessed
