handing the verdict to the court officer.
I'VE find the defendants. James and
Philip STROLLER, not guilty" was the
message read by the clerk.
The announcement was the signal
for an outburst of approval which
Judge Harrison quickly silenccd.
James Strother reached for the hand
Of Mr.. Moore, one of his counsel. and
Philip was quietly surrounded by
their friends. Mrs. James Strother.
overcome by emotion. fell forward into
her husbands arms soDbing and ex-
claiming her thanks.
When the effects of the critical mo-
mont had passed Judge Harrison ad-
dressed the jury as follows:
Gentlemen Of the jury. ! thank you
for a verdict which / think will be APP
proved by the people. 1t is an estab-
iished precedent in the state Of Vir-
ginia that no man tried for defending
the sanctity of his home should be
found guilty"
After further words of approval
from the bench the jurymen left the

Strike Leaves Paris in Darkness.

Paris.-A sudden, virtually unani-
nous and unexpected strike on the part
of practically all the electricians OF
Paris at 5 O'Clock Friday afternoon,
resulted in the almost complete paral-
ysis of the business of the city by the
time night had fallen. A number of
theaters had to forego their perform
ances, several of the evening newspa-
pers were unable to get out their edi-
lions, and great department stores
were hurriedly closed. The strikers
demand the fulfillment of the promises
to improve their condition, which they
claim were made them last July.
The company that supplies electric
ity was recently accorded concessions
by the Municipal Council, and it now
refuses to carry out certain resolu'
lions passed by that body under which
the electrical workers are granted an
eight-hour day and old-age pensions.
The men are exasperated by what they
characterize bad faith on the part OF
the company. and now claim recogni-
ton as employees of municipal de
partment, including vacations, pay
while they are sick and the granting OF
pensions at a specified age.

THAw's DEFENSE RESTS.
Jerome Suddenly Called Upon to Pro
coed With RebuttaI.

New York.-There was another quick
turn of the cards in the trial of Harry
X. 1haw Thursday, when the defense
announced that 1t had concluded to
rest it's case. 1t was nearly O'Clock
when Dolphin NJ. Delmas, chief OF the
Thaw counsel, called District Attorney
Jerome on the telephone and made the
announcement. The district attorney
was perhaps the most surprised man Ia
New York. for It had been understood
that Thaw's attorneys would call one
or two alienists Friday morning.
Court will assemble tomorrow, as
planned. but what will be done Is
question much discussed tonight. FIR.
Delmas will make the simple an
nouncement:
1.-THE defense rests"
II will then be the duty of the di4-
trict attorney to take up the rcbi-ttal.
but 1t was generally rumored tonight
that after brief session adjournment
will be asked and granted until Mon
day, that Mr.. Jerome may mature his
plans.
Mr.. Jerome said tonight that he
thought the case might go 70 the jury
by Friday Of next week.
