New York, June 29.--Although
Broughton Brandenburg was acquitted
here today of the charge of grand lar
ceny in connection with the sale OF
an alleged spurious letter OF Grover
Cleveland to the New York Times he
had only few minutes of freedom.
Before leaving the court room he was
re-arrested and will be taken to st.

child's parents his stepsOn, James
Sheppard Cabanne, Sd. The maximum
penalty in Missouri is 90 years impris-

to the Tombs in default of $4,000 bail
to await the arrival of the Missouri
officers.
The verdict of acquittal today on
the grand larceny charge was reached
by the jury within few minutes af-
ter the presiding justice had charged
them that the question of the genuine
ness of the article was only a second
airy consideration.
The primary consideration, he told
them, was whether the defendant had
stolen $500, the price paid for the ar
ticle, from the New York Times They
must acquit the defendant, he con-
tinued, if they found that the Times
had not relied upon Brandenburg' )
statements as to the genuineness OF
the article. but had relied rather on
the representation of F. S. Hastings,
one of the Cleveland executors, whom
they consulted before purchasing the

Many a yoke draws plow all day

toad's credit. or in money value it is
worth $19.44 in three months time.
English and French gardeners appre-
ciate the value of toads and as high
as $25 per hundred is said to be often
paid for them. Owing to the dislike
of the creatures for new and unfamil-
lar surroundings. it Is advisable in
many cases to provide breeding pool
for them in order that the young may
establish themselves where they are
wanted A shallow pool of cement,
having small bat constant water sup
ply, is sufficient. and the old toads
should be carried to it at mating time,
which in this latitude comes in April
and May. Stagnant water is better
than running water from the stand
point of the toad raiser.
For garden shelters, make shallow
holes in the ground and cover with
fiat stones or boards. The toads will
retire into these in the daytime and
come forth at dusk for their nightly
forays. Toads are specially valuable
to greenhouse men, keeping down
slugs. snails, sowbugs, thousand
legged worms. plant lice, cutworms,
