The Commercial Club held an
other very enthusiastic meeting

tractive place. After the minutes
were read the committee on organl.
cation was called on to report. OF

made permanent, as also G. Fl.

Electric Train Jumps Track in New

| New York, Feb. 16. Sixteen pas

midnight, and at least fifty more
we're more or less seriously injured
following the wreck of the White
Plains and Brewster Express on
the Harlem division of the New

road near Woodlaw road, in the
Bronx Borough Of the Greater New
York tonight.
The train was filed with matt
nee crowds and commuters, and
was made up Of two electric motors,
a combination baggage and smok-
ing car and four passenger coaches.
Il left the Grand Central Station at
6.l3 o'clock with the first scheduled
stop at White Plains. 1t was run
ing at high speed when ii reached
Woodlawn road, where there is a
sharp curve. The motors and the
forward car took the curve safely,
bat the following cars were derail-
ed, and tumbling on their sides,
were dragged 100 yards before the
couplings gave way and the tour
cars piled together in ruins at the
foot Of a low embankment.

and Detectives Irwin and Dowd
Ipursued the investigation Of every
clue. The detectives first endeav-
ored to establish the fact as to
whether Mrs. Mangrum left Nash
vile on the night she was last seen.
Many trainmen were interviewed,
and without exception could recall
no passenger of the description Of
Mrs. Mangrum. The detectives
we're convinced after weeks of work
that Mrs. Mangrum did not leave
Nashville on the night she was last
seen alive, and went to work to col
lect evidence of her movements here.
When Gen. Washington stated in
his argumentthat s'luck was against
the player of fortune who sat at the
table of chance" he struck the key
note that seems to have marked the
tate of DIR. Feist. For days the
State placed before the jury the
most damaging circumstantial evi-
dence, and the verdict shows that
the strong efforts to break it down
were unsuccessful. The case of the
defense was weak at many points.
DID NOT TAKE STAND.
DIR. Feist has practiced his pro.
fession in Nashville some ten or
twelve years, and his transactions
of recent years resulted in his coun-
sci not placing him on the witness
stand in his own behalf. Thus the
defendant was in the attitude of be-
ing unable to deny the testimony
that was piled up against him.
With all Of the testimony that was
offered there was nothing in the
record to point to Mrs. Mangrum
ever having had improper relations
with any other living man, and
none other to whom the finger of
suspicion pointed. The defendant
was also fighting against the power
of public sentiment, and the fact
that the deceased was a woman.
Doubt of the ability of the State
to prove the venue caused many to
believe that there would be mis-
trial.
The motion for a new trial in the
case will probably come up on next
but counsel may ask for
time in which to prepare heir
grounds. If TIL e motion is over
ruled an appeal will be taken to
the Supreme Court. 1t is almost
certain that the appeal cannot get
)n the docket at this term Of court,
Ind for that reason il will be neces-
'ary for the defendant to remain in
all until the next term of the Su-
,reme Court, which will be in De-
ern Der. Counsel tor the defendant
we're firm in the opinion that the
supreme Court will not affirm the
over court in this case. There are
wenty.seyen requests by counsel
OF. the defendant regarding the
barge which we're oyerruled by
udge Hart, and exceptions were
AIKEN.
The verdict of the jury is regard !,
d as great victory for the conn I
el for the State, composed Of At I
orney General Bass, Cen. Wash 4
igton and Attorney Hickman. I,
hey had arrayed against them the 1
blest lawyers in the State, and !,

'ould be conviction at the time !,

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.
Verdict of Jury Against DR.. J. II.
Feist.

/
Nashville. Tenn, Feb l6.-Dr. ]
Herman Feist stands convicted o
the murder of Mrs. Rosa Masor
Mangrum, and is imprisoned in |
cell at the county. Jail pending fur
ther proceedings in his case. The
trial, which has so completely alb
sorbed public attention for more
than three weeks, came to a close
in the Criminal Court on Saturday
morning, when the jury returned
verdict, finding the defendant guilty
of murder in the first degree. TIC
many the verdict came as great
surprise, and to others, who had
closely watched the testimony, il
was not unexpected. DR.. Feist was
evidently unnerved by the report OF
the jury, but did not lose the COM
posure which has marked bis de-
meanor since the trial began.
MRS. TRoUspALE AFFECTED.
Mrs. Logan t. Trousdale, her
husband, brother and others were
in the courtroom when the jury
made the report. Mrs. Trousdale
was deeply affected by the verdict,
stating that God had been good to
her, and that her prayers had been
answered; and tears came to her
eyes as one of the final chapters IN
the history of the great tragedy
was being recorded. There has
never been witnessed greater de-
votion to sister than that which
has been shown by Mrs. Trousdale
in her efforts to bring to justice the
murderer of Mrs. Mangrum. From
the time of her disappearance she
first worked to find the whereabouts
and then to solve the mystery of
her DEATH She went to distant cit
les, among strangers, and every
clue was followed. There are none
who have watched the course of
Mrs. Trousdale but who have been
impressed with her efforts. The
strain of the long trial has been
very great.
Chester B. Mason, brother of Mrs.
Trousdale, who swore out the war
rant against DR.. Feist, had tears in
his eyes when the jury reported,
and all those in the courtroom
seemed impressed. Young Mason
said that if there ever was a guilty
man on earth Feist was the guilty |
man, and that it had been shown
by the proof.
The story of the mysterious
crime of which DR.. Feist stands
is strange one. and the
facts in the case seem more like
6ction than truth. The defendant
is young physician of recognized
ability, graduate of a great uni
versity, and had become the family
physician of the Mangrums several
years ago. The testimony recites
intimate relations between DR..
Feist and the deceased, and that he
seemed to have exercised greater
influence over her than her husband
ind brothers.
HISTORY OF CASE.
The reports of the celebrated trial ;
lave familiarized the public with
he facts of the tragedy. Mrs. Man
rum had drawn all of her money
'ut Of the bank, collected together
III her personal effects a. d an-
that she was going to
,hicago on the night train Of Dec.
A, 1908. The testimony Of the
State takes her to the Union Sta
ion. where she disappears, and SIX /.
weeks later her body is found IN the
,hio River near Cairo. I'll. The del

Oldfeld May Gomez. A. Moross,
manager for Barney Oldfield, the noted
automobile racer, was in Davenport
Yesterday setting plans on foot which
it is hoped will result in the appear
ance here of Oldfield Friday and Satur-
day of next week, in some of his cele-
brated racing stunts. Mr. Moross stat
ed that if the mile track could be Sc
cured for the exhibition, he believed
Oldtield could give the track an auto
mobile record under the 81 %. seconds
in which he went mile at Sioux City
last week. The daredevil driver is at
Des Moines at present, for a couple of
days of racing, and would come here
next week if the necessary arrange
ments were made
