No Case Against Man Alleged to Have

Judge Holds Tint state Has Failed

Not entity.
Not Guilty.

st. Louis, Feb. S.--John J. Ryan, who
was Indicted on the charge of having
embezzled 100000 in a tget-rich-quick"
scheme, and whose trial was called to-
day, will be acquitted by the jury se-
lected to try his case, under instructions
from Judge Foster, who tonight sus-
tanned the demurrer filed by Ryan's
counsel to the states case. After hear
ing Judge Fosters decision on the de-
murrer Circuit Attorney Sager an
nounced that, inasmuch as the case in
which the states witnesses had just
been heard was the strongest he had
against Ryan, he would enter nolle
prosequi in the remaining three This
means that Ryan will go free,
The case on which Ryan went to trial
was that in which Mrs. Elizabeth Bier
lein was complaining witness. 1t was
charged that $40 was accepted from
Mrs. Bierlein, after his company was
known to be insolvent, on February 10,
1903.
Judge Foster in sustaining the motion
for an instruction to the jury to acquit
the defendant said that the state had
failed to prove felonious intent as
charged in the indictment and decided
that the case was OF a civil rather than
a criminal nature. He said there had
been an agreement to pay per cent.
interest on deposits with the company:
that the agreement, had been kept for
some time and then there was failure
to do so.
When the jury appears in court to-
morrow Judge FOSTER will issue an in
struction to return verdict Of not
guilty against the defendant, and this,
it is believed. viii be the last echo Of
the "get-rfch- quick cases that attract
ed SO much attention throughout the
country two years ago.

WORKS DISSATISFIED.
Complete Tie-Up of Car Factory-Ru-

H.
Work-Nine-Hour Day May be Con-
cedcd-aIasters Conciliatory.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 81 a. ma par
tial strike at the PutiIoff iron works
and the complete tie-up of the st. Pc
tersburg car factory gave rise to ru-
mors yesterday of a general recrudes-
cence Of the strike movement here; but
the strike has not extended to other es-
Establishments, and the success Of the
manager of the Putiloff works in pre-
venting the great body of workmen
from following the example of their
comrades in two of the shops who had
walked out gives basis for hope of an
amicable settlement.
The present trouble involves the
questions of pay for the time the men
were out on strike and the eight-hour
day, which were discussed at a meeting
of employers last night. The employ
ers came to no absolute decision, but
determined to adopt a conciliatory atti-
tude. They will probably concede a
nine-hour day, which will satisfy the
employees pending general legislation on
the matter of an eight-hour day, which
will be binding to union employers
throughout Russia.
AT present six government factories
and thirteen private establishments are
working fifty-seven hours or less week
1y, and twenty eight other large enter
prises more than fffty-seyen hours. The
question of allowance for time on strike
is not so easy Of settlement. Some
works, including the American Wes-
tinghouse company have voluntarily
paid their men for the whole week they
did not work, but several large estab-
1ishments, including the st. Petersburg
car factory and the Putiloff iron works,
refuse to do so, claiming that it would
swallow up the most of their yearly
profits. The Putiloff works, where the
strike originated and was of double
duration, would be especially hard hit,
as the strike payroll would amount to
S13o,00O The st. Petersburg car fac
tory already has paid three days, but
is unwilling to eoncede more. Cover
nor General Trepoff does not wish to
interfere, this question being purely
economic one; but he has intimated to-
the masters that it is desirable that
they should reach a settlement with
their men.
IT is hoped in vfewsof the conciliatory
attitude of the masters and the appar-
ent readiness Of the men to listen to
argument, that another crisis will be
avoided.
