Jury Frees Writer of Charge Of Grand
Larceny.

New York, June 29.-Broughton
Brandenburg was acquitted on the
charge of grand larceny growing out
of the sale to the New York Times
of an article purporting to have been
signed by Grover Cleveland. He was
at once arrested on a charge of kid
mapping his stepson, James Shepard
Cabanne, in ST. Louis.
Brandenburg's case has attracted
wide attention because of the prom
inence of the persons who have fig
ured in it and the interest that at
tached to the threshing out Of the
question of the genuineness of the
Cleveland article, on which the pro-
ceedings against him were based. Mrs.
Frances Folsom Cleveland, widow of
the late Grover Cleveland, was wit
ness for the prosecution at the trial,
as was Richard Watson Glider, life
long friend of Mr.. Cleveland.

devised.

be made to have such a session
called if the bill is knocked out, so
that the good roads amendment SUBJ

resubmitted next year.
