murdered man will stand eve at his
elbow"
Assistant District Attorney Mott. be-
ginning his closing address, said ex-
Governor AycOck's plea vas the most
eloquent he had ever heard at the
criminal ban. His summing up was
clear and strong. He dealt with
known facts only, and never sWerved
from the evidence.
Charging the jury. Judge Malone
discussed the different degrees of
murder and homicide as might a lee
turer TO a class of law students.
The Jurors retired at 400 O'Clock,
returned at 6:35 O'Clock for instruc-
lions as to the different degrees OF
homicide, and again locked up.
Throughout the last day Of the trial
Lumsden showed great nervousness.
but undiminished courage. He smiled
bravety at his wife and never f1inched
under the ash Of the District Attor-
ney>s argument. AS he was being led
from the court room after the jury
had retired his wife tried to get a note
to him. but was repulsel by the court
officers. She turned away with bowed
head and tear-wet eyes.
Expected .Acquittai.
h following is from the New York
American:
When the jury retired at 4:3O D.
m. and the first ballots were cast
eight jurors were for q verdict of
guilty Of murder in the first degree
and four were for acquittal. Murder
in the first degree entails the death
penalty.
At s o'clock. after long wrangling.
Judge Malone ordered deputy sheriffs
to escort the jurors to the Astor House.
, where they dined- They returned at

riHe in favor Of a verdict OF. murder
in the first degree. and three for man
slaughter in the first degree. After
an hours further defiberation the
minority succeeded in carrying their
point.
Lhmsden had expected to be ac-
Quilted. He entered the court room
at 10 o'clock and took his seat. the
,ury having announced it would APP
pear. At 1O:07 Judge Malone sat
down and the twelve men stood in
the jury box. Foreman William John
son faced Lumsden n pronounced
the verdict.
The prisoner smiled. and turned to
Lawyer James j.. Fitzgerald. one of
, his counsel, and warmly hook his
| hand. He seemed then to be satisfied
| with the verdict, as it might nave been
| worse. Mrs. Lunnsden was not pres
ent. She left when the Jurors re
tired.
II will be free in a few moments.
| Lumsden said to his counsel. when the
jury first went out.
In the face of all the damaging evi-
dence, presented by Assistant District
! Attorney Mott, Lumsden has shown
| no emotion except occasionally his
glance fell upon the woman in black,
the widow of Suydam.
Former Governor Charles 3.
Aycock, of North Carolina, made an
eloquent and impressive plea for
Lumsden. The burden of his argu-
ment was that Lumsden shot Suydam
I while defending himself. Mr.. Aycock
declared that the Jurors should not
take seriously the statements of he
prisoner while he was under the
third degree"

HydrantS Packed to
 Keep Frost Away

Fireman Frank Noonan of the B. F. D. had the $50 hydrants in this city packed, and the water pumped out of the gates to keep them from freezing when the dust began to blow and it was necessary to resume the sprinkling of the streets
 Yesterday when the cold weather set in Noonan started on his second tour of all of the hydrants in the city for fear that the water would collect fin those used by the sprink- ling cart drivers A frozen hydrant would render the fire department helpless in case of a big fire and Noonan kept on the jump yesterday to get through with the job. All told he inspected 140 hydrants yesterday. Only those that had been used by the sprinkling men needed pumping out but the inspection was made to cover all of the fire plugs for fear one with water in it might be missed.
 Every year after December l, when the sprinkling season ends the fire department packs every hydrant with waste to keep it from freezing and pumps out the water that settles in the bottom of the plug This year the work has been done twice.
