When the verdict was announced a

This is the second acquittal of Hag'

1t is believed now that the cases of
Alex and Elbert Hargis and Edward
Callahan, also charged with compile
fly in plots to kill Cockrill will be
filed away in the court here. The evt
dence is practically the same against
the other three men, as well as Bill

Jackson June 21. 1904. He died later
at Lexington. where he had been
taken for medical attention. During
the trial several witnesses swore that

Ed Callahan had entered into muir
der conspiracy promising immunity TO
any one who would shoot Cockrill.

their final reports when the commits
sion resumes It's public hearings on

every phase of the capitol scandal and

cry Of metallic furniture and another
was given advance payments OF $685.

PASSENGERS GET A SCARE
Fire Breaks Out on Board Steamer
Teutonic.

New York, May 24.-Passengers on
the steamer Teutonic, which arrived
during the day from Europe. were
given a bad scare while the steamer
was off the Banks of Newfoundland
last Tuesday by fire which started
in one Of the state cabins. The room
was unoccupied and lively blaze was
In progress when q steward noticed
smoke filtering through the door.
Nearly three-quarters of an hour Of
hard work on the part OF the fire
brigade was required before the
flames were eXtinguished. The pas
sengers were assured that the fire
would be checked without serious
damage and there was nothing ap-
preaching a panic on the ship The
damage in the three rooms of the
state cabin to which the fire was con-
fined is estimated at several thousand
dollars.
