The fate of William CT. Crawford.

in the balance.
AT 2:30 clock the Jury. which for over

Long before 10 o'clock this morning,
the hour Criminal Court No. was con-

anxious spectators Noticeable among
the silent mass of humanity which flied
the room was Crawford, his features
drawn. his face pale, his glance restless
and showing great nervousness as he
pulled az his short brown mustache. 1t
was only a minute or two before 10

Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Metro
Eolitan was bought Il large scale.
The action of Reading was considered
heavy in view OF the fact that the df-

London bought about 10000 shares in

NEW YORK.

Leadership was the keynote of
stock market discussion yesterday. In
almost every important section of the
list the banking. or at least the bl ok-
erage interests usually associated with
tie difIei tnt stocks, were prominently
mentioned in accounting for their de-
cidedly greater activity, and in each
case it was agreed that all the market
,icc'tetf vas leadership. and any number
of facts We're cited to prove that asser-
tive direction of the kind desired was
at hand. Experienced brokers admitted
in confidence that the trading was still
largely professional but insisted that
amount of anticipatory buying for in
vestment account. The importance CT
this new business, they declared, was
very properly emphasized out of pro-
portion to its actual percentage of the
days total sales, for the reason that
until this week 1t had been wholly lack
ing for more months than they liked TO
recall. Professional activity, they de-
ciared. was at least better founded when
there was some actual demand Tor
stocks than when there was none At all.
In other words, professional Wall Street
was quite right in making the top nat
brigade pay the highest possible prices
for their investments.
Some surprise has been expressed this
week by men who try to follow the I'M
dercurrente of finance that the stock
market has paid so little attention to

thin margin of surplus reserve reported
by the New York banks last week The

MRS. ROGERS RETRIEVED.
New Lease of Life Is Granted Woman
Condemned to Death in
Vermont.

BattleborO, VT, June ga reprieve
until December for Mrs. Mary A.
Rogers, the condemned murderess,
was signed Thursday by Gov. Charles
]. Bell, and for the third time the wo-
man who was to have been hanged at
Windsor to-day for killing her husband
has been saved through the operation
of the governors power of staying
the execution. Thursdays reprieve
was granted in order that the case
may be carried to the supreme court
of the United States on constitutional
questions, which were raised at a
hearing before Judge Hoyt H. Wheel
er, sitting as justice of the United
States circuit court. Mrs. Rogers at
torneys petitioned for her release on
writ of habeaS corpus. The court
declined to grant the petition, but sug-
gested that the points of law raised
by the petitioner were such as to be
passed upon by the supreme court Of
the country. The refusal of the Judge
to grant the writ was at once followed
by the filing Of an appeal. Judge
Wheeler thereupon announced that he
would render his decision on the ques-
ton of appeal late in the afternoon, in
order to give Gov. Bell an opportunity
to reprieve Mrs. Rogers. Thursday af-
ternoon Judge Wheeler received'a tele-
graphic message from Gov. Bell at
White River Junction announcing that
Mrs. Rogers had been reprieved. The
judge at once signed the paper which
gave to Mrs. Rogers the legal right to
have her case heard by the supreme
court of the United States.

BRUTALITY OF
The COSSACkS.
THEY CONTINUE TO TERROR
IZE THE SUBURBS OF
LODI.
Jewish Family of Five Driving to
the Station Shot and Killed. A
of Slaughter.

Lodz, Russian Poland, June 90
The most serious phase of the fighting
between the military and strikers is at
an end, but there are isolated attacks
in the suburbs. At Baluty yesterday
morning Cossacks attacked Jewish
family of five persons, VINO were driv-
ing in a cab to the railway station,
and shot and killed all, including the
cabman.
At Pabjanice, near LODI, workmen
attacked two policemen and shot and
killed one and wounded the other.
There is a general exodus from LODI,
Twelve thousand persons have already
left, and all trains are crowded.
During the disturbance thirty-fve
government liquor stores were de-
stroyed by the mobs, which appropri-
ated all the cash and stamps found on
the premises.
The cash and stamps were added to
the funds of the Socialist party.
The workmen in all factories will
strike today.
Some of the prominent citizens yes
terday morning telegraphed Gen.
Shustow, commanding the troops
here, asking for protection against the
brutality of the soldiers, especially
against the Cossacks, who in one in
stance killed and robbed the servent
of a millionaire named Rosenblatt,
who was carrying S., 600 to the bank.
The general promised to punish the
| offenders, but said' he required wit

Eight Drowned.

Rhinelander, Wis, June 26.-By the
capsizing of boat in Rainbow rapids,
in the Wisconsin river near Newbold,
road, six miles north of Rhinelander,
eight persons were drowned.
In the small craft were Mrs. Ezra
Craw and Mrs Edward Craw, wives OF
two homesteaders, with six children.
All lost their lives.
1t is supposed that the women and
children, who lived on opposite sides
of the river, were signaled by the men
to cross the river from one homestead
to the other, and were drowned in
view of the CraW brothers.
