Trial Lasted All Day Yesterday. Jury
Bringing in Verdict Last Night
at Half Past Ten
O'Clock.

| Seven bottles of liquor-one of which
was q bottle Of boiled cider-sat on the
city court desk all day Yesterday. while
a roomful of curious people blinked
away at them and occasionally turned
their focus on the twenty-one witnesses
brought In during the endeavors to prove
and dlsprove the charge that Jerome
Irish and Hattie Bailey were guilty of
keeping liquor with a disposition to sell.
At ten o'clock last night the electric
lights were still pouring a mellow light
on the same bottles, but shortly after.
wards the jury filed in and said that
Jerome Irish and Hattie Bailey were
not guilty Of keeping liquor for UNI
lawful purposes. The bottles were re-
turned today to the residence at Sc
West street, where they were found by
the police department last Friday night.
three in bedroom and four in the kitch-
en-. Grand Juror Scott prosecuted and
M. M. Gordon defended the two respon-
dents. The six men who deliberated
few minutes and then brought ina verdict
of not guilty, were w. 4. Campbell,
A. +. Libervean, William Mcdonald
Freeman Cilley, George Troup and w.
+. Bradford. The case was tried before
Judge Fay.
The state put on seven witnesses and
relied chiefly on the testimony Of the
officers who made the raid, although one
woman was put on who declared that
she saw q sale of liquor made. She
was Mrs Cunningham, or Bordeau. The
defence brought out testimony to show
that there had been neighborhood quar-
rel. The states witnesses were Alfred
Beckman, Donald McPhee, Patrick
Brown, George Booth, Frank Hamel and
Mrs. B. F. Cunningham. The defence re-
lied on Mrs. Munroe Drown, Peter Goneo.
Mrs. Heggie, James Meagan, Lula Irish.
Thomas Geary, Alma Blay, Louis Four
nier, Hattie Bailey, i. J. Irish. Wallace
Cover, Bert Slayton, the grand juror
himself and two policemen, Brown and
fianiel. When the two respondents were
put on the stand they denied IN toto
the allegation that they had the liquor
for unlawful purposes. The liquor was
there, it must have been there because
the officers found it there; but what
was not being used for private consump.
tIon was brought In and inadvertently
left by those who called.
During the course Of the afternoon
session of the trial there was an inter
esting colloquy between the court and
counsel for the defence as to the admis-
sion Of the testimony Of S. H. Forsyth.
Mr.. Forsyth had been sitting in the
room adjoining, the door being open,
reading q newspaper. When he started
to 20 on the stand the grand juror OBJ
iected. The respondents attorney oh.
lected to the objection. Hence the words.
The court ruled that MFR. Forsyth's testi
mony would not be admissible, and Mr..
Gordon desired exceptions noted. They
were noted and the trial of the case
was resumed The testimony was all
more o. less interesting 10 the court
attendants and was drunk IN BY large

Eight Persons Died as a Re-
suit In New York
INTENSE COLD PREVAILED
Fifty Three Trains Are Reported Stalled
in Pennsylvania-Much
Suffering Is
Caused

New York, Jan. 26.--Eight persons
are dead and many other are suffering
from exhaustion, as the result of the
big storm. Not since the blizzard Of
1883 has New York ben so completely
snowbound as it was last night. The
city itself was lying under foot Of
snow, which in many places had been
banked by the wind to height OF
several feet.
Surface travel was abandoned early
in the day, overhead transit was irregu-
lar and slow, and it remained for the
roads to carry home. SO
far as they could reach within the city
limits, the hundreds Of thousands Of
workers from the down town districts.
The entire coast line from the Della
ware cables north has been in the grasp
of a storm which because of the heavy
fail Of snow, the intensity of cold and
the force Of the gale, has exceeded in
severity anything experienced in recent
years.
On the New Haven system, very few
trains were dispatched, and those that
arrived were from four to eight hours
behind schedule time. The Boston ex-
press due to arrive at 4:i5 p. m. was
reported stalled in snowdrift at Rye.
Similar conditions prevailed on all other
roads entering New York.
Not a vessel Of any kind has sailed
from or arrived at this port in more
than twenty-four hours. At Sandy
Hook and Quarantine, the wind blew
sixtey miles an hour and number of
vessels are reported to be at anchor
there. A dozen or more steamers, now
overdue, have not been heard from.
Not sound steamer left last night.
At their docks are the steamers Of the
Fall River, Providence, New Haven, New
ItJhla b, New Bedford, Bridgeport and
Jey fines. Not only was there some
fear Of the storm, but little freight had
been delivered to these boats, and pas.
sengers cancelled their tickets.

Criminal Carelessness.

Tuesday while little Roy Cooner was
in little play house which he had built
in the yard of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John, Cooner, at their home on Carlisle
street, he was suddenly surprised and
very much frightened by the report of a
parlor rife and the bullet lodging in the
wall Just over his head. The shot seemed
to come from the street. he ran to his
mother, and she at once went out on the
street, but could not locate who had fired
the shot. No doubt the party who CON-
.mitteed the act ran off as soon as he fired.
It was narrow escape, and one which
should be a warning to those who handle
and shoot parlor rifles so recklessly. The
practice has become great nuisance,
and should be stopped.
