The second case of Chas. W. Wilson
against Harry 9. Hendee was immedi.
ately begun on the retirement Of the
jury and another jury was empaneled.
The same lawyers appear in this
case, and the case is practically the
same as the other one.
This is the same old note of $1,000,
drawn by Walter D. Wilson to the or.
der of H. O. Hendee, endorsed BY H.
O. Hendee and Dr. Chas. W. Wilson.
DR.. Wilson, it appears, had to pay
the note ultimately. The note was
given May 10. 1904.
DR.. Wilson said, on cross examina.
tion. that the note, he believed, was
discounted for the benefit of Harry O..
Hendee, but lawyer TulIer sue
ceeded in getting the admission from
DR.. Wilson that Walter D. Wilson was
short, to the township, as Township
Collector. in the sum of $500, and
that Walter D. Wilson was now some
where in Dakota.
Mrs. Chas. w. Wilson said she was
at home when Walter D. Wilson and
Harry y. Hendee called to get her
husband to endorse the note. She said
that she overheard the conversation
between them, and heard Harry O.
Hendee say that if Walter D. Wilson
made his business over to him and let
him have his boat-turn the business
and boat over to him-he would pay
the note.
Harry FL. Pond Cashier for the
Vineland National Bank, testified to
the payment of the note by Dr. Chas.
W. Wilson.
Mr.. Bartlett, at this juncture. moved
non suit.
Mr.. Alvord opposed the motion, but
the Judge said he could not see how
this case can be separated from the
one just previously tried in which the
jury is now out. A non suit would
have to be granted in this case, and it
was granted.

be in Trenton to-day in case there.
Walter H. Bacon began the summing,

In opening his address Mr., Bacon
said that the fact had been established
that the plant of the More Jonas fac.
tory No. 2, and the ware shed, we're
destroyed by fire on the afternoon of
July 4th last.
1t had been established by unoontra.

eating about $117 500. "a actual loss.
Now who shall stand that loss, the
More Jonas Co.. or the West Jersey &
Seashore Railroad?
The railroad company, he said, had
complete and perfect defense, which
Il they could prove, his clients were
done, and might as we'll throw up
their hands. Their defense was pro
vided by law, it is their spark ar.
rester. II this was perfect-in perfect
order-it was their safe defense.
That had not been proven. The
spark arrester had been proven to be
imperfect. 1t had two or three holes
in it. The only way to disprove this
would be to bring that spark arrester
into Court. It could have been done,
but it was not done, and it's perfect
condition had not been established.
Mr.. Baeon's opening was brief, and
the counsel of the defense said to the
surprise OF the Court that they had no
reply to make to the argument of
plaintiffs counsel.
This the Court announced and then
he at once gave his charge to the jury.
The charge was brief and the jury
went out at d. 10 O'Clock.
There will be Court on Monday
morning, opening at O'Clock, when
Judge Swayze will be here.

Younu Leaves Dluby.

Digby, N. S.-Elmer T.. Young Of
Boston, who was held as witness
in the murder Of little May Young,
left here Wednesday for Yarmouth,
but said he did not intend to go direct
to Boston.
Before leaving Digby Young re-
quested that baby Ada Young be al
tiles refused to give up the child. The
baby was found in the woods at the
time of the discovery of the murder
ed girl. The officials say they will
nope
Young, in September.
The crown authorities have secur-
ed the services of Detective Power of
Halifax. He has reached Digby and
will endeavor to unravel several
mysterious points in connection with
the case.
Hattie Hatfield is still here, but
Marie Ward has left for Boston via
Yarmouth. The Hatfield woman
gives as her reason for remaining
that she would not travel with Young,
when she became aware of the facts
brought out at the examination.
Previous to Young's leaving for
Yarmouth, he and the Hatfield woman
had a violent quarrel. He afterward
had an animated argument with a
local business man on points con-
cerning international law. Quite a
crowd gathered at the station to see
him depart.

JurYman Rebuked.

Providence, r. because of an eX~
P-essia,a- -os-hatTed OF m1scegenation,
juEyman Waldo Stewart of this city
was rebuked in the supreme court re-
Gently by Judge Wilbur.
The defendants at the bar were Lem
uel Brown, negro, and Mabel Brown,
white, who were charged with con-
ducting a nuisance. They were mar
ried some time ago.
Stewart explained that his prejudice
would not permit him to render true
verdict, as he would be apt to decide
against the couple.
Judge Wilbur said with considerable
force that something must be wrong
with the jurors mental apparatus. The
law, said his honor, permitted inter-
marriages such as this one. He said
that all people in this republic were
free and equal, and that one was as
good as another. Such prejudice as
a reason for not serving on jury was
ridiculous, he declared.
Mr.. Stewart was excused and the
trial proceeded.

All day long firing has been heard

The main squadron of the Black sea
fleet, four battleships and two cruisers,

The rioters are in a most defiant
mood and are not inclined to surren-

Reports of the mutiny, which oc-
Cured while the battleship was at sea
are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers
refuse to allow communication with
the shore; but it is ascertained that it
arose from the shooting of a sailor
who was presenting in behalf of the
crew complaint against bad food
According to one version, this sailor,
whose name was Omiltchuk, objected
to the quality of the "borchtch," or
soup, and was Immediately shot down
by a mess officer.
The crew then arose and seized the

were spared on condition that they

killed and their bodies thrown over
