ONE YEAR IN PRISON
FOR MRS. BEN TEAL
Wife of Theatrical Manager Found
Guilty in Connection with Gould
Divorce Suit.

New York, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Margaret
Teal, wife of Benjamin Teal, one of the
best known theatrical managers in this
country, was yesterday convicted of
attempted subornation of perjury in
the divorce case of Helen Kelley Gould
against Frank j. Gould. Mrs. Teal
was sentenced to serve one year in
the penitentiary on Blackwell's is
land.
AS the verdict of the jury was pro-
nounced Mrs. Teal, who had arisen to
hear the verdict. sank to her knees
and was lifted to chair by the at
PENDANTS. She then buried her face
in her muff. One of the jurors was
weeping as the verdict was rendered
jurors signed a recommendation to
clemency.
Judge Foster, in sentencing Mrs.
Teal, said he would not add to her
suffering by referring to her record,
with which, he said, the district attor-
ney had acquainted him. The judge
said that he had been greatly i'm
pTeSSeu ny tue touching DedIiuS VI MI.
Teal, who had sat beside his wife
throughout the trial Counsel for Mrs.
Teal said he would apply for certifl-
cate of reasonable doubt and endeavor
to obtain Mrs. Teal's freedom on bail.
This has been the mistake of gar
rulous woman, and lacks the intent
that usually appears in cases of this
kind" the counsel added.
Mrs. Teal was indicted last year
jointly with Mrs. Julia Fleming Tor
Julia McCabe) and Harry S. Mousley,
private detective. They were charged
with attempting by offers Of money to
induce Mabel McCauslan, a milliner's
/ apprentice, to give false evidence
against Frank j. Gould in the divorce
case. Mrs. Fleming and Mousley
turned states evidence. A pathetic
feature of Mis-. Teai's case is that she

Norfolk, Va, Mar. l.-Norfolk paid
a homecoming tribute to 1000 officers
and bluejackets from the American
battle fleet" Saturday. With faring
trouser-ends snugly reefed down in
canvas leggings, with jaunty white
caps setting off the deep blue of their
service uniforms and with rifles slung
over their shoulders, the men from the
fleet paraded through the principal
streets of the city and were received
with cheers by practically all of Nor
folks population. Main street was
SO crowded in places that barely
enough room was left for the sailors
to pass. Thirty-two companies in all
We're landed from the fleet this morn
ing at the Old Point Comfort dock
and transported to this city on steam

rnent committee.
They were accompanied by eight
companies of coast artillery from Fort
Monroe and were met here by several
companies of marines and blue jack
cts from the Norfolk navy yard.
CRANKY and thence into Main, the men
of the fleet passed through admiring
throngs who in their earnestness to
observe the blue Jackets who had
such great share in the successful
cruise of the 16 American battleships
around the world, forgot all but the
first spontaneous cheer Of welcome

Then the crowds broke into a tu-
multuous tribute which was caught up
all the way down the line. The men
from the Virginia received a veritable
ovation.
The blue-jackets from the home sta
ton also received a lions share of the
| applause along the line of march De
tachments of the Virginia National
Guard were also in the parade which
was one of the most picturesque and
interesting martial pageants ever seen
here.
In traversing Main street the sailors
and their escort passed through a
Gordon of honor in front of the review
ing stand composed of hundreds OF
veterans Of both the confederate ant
union armies Admiral Taussig, com
mandant of the Norfolk navy yard, re
viewed the parade and was salutet
by all the men in passing.
The blue jackets made splendid
showing in spite of their long stay OF
board ship. 1t was the first time they
had appeared in companies ashore il
some months, but their marching com
pared most favorably with that of thu
army representatives. The youthful
appearance of the sailors ELECTED
much comment and their bearing
throughout was in itself splendid
tribute to the enlisted personnel OF thu
navy of to-day.

FREIGHT Trains in Collision

A collision in which several freight
cars and one locomotive were badly
smashed, occurred just east of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road
bridge in this city Sunday morning
about l o'clock Luckily no one was
killed or badly injured but the tracks
were blocked until S:45 a. NJ when
the fast mail passed and the night
passenger trains from the west went
| by. The accident occurred at what is
known as the cross over, a switch
connecting the double tracks.
A freight extra from the east in
charge of Conductor William Nc
Laughlin, was backing eastward over
this crossover to get out of the way
of mail train No. 81, and while the
train was on the crossover, freight
train No. 6S dashed into it. The force
of the collision was sufficient to de-
rail and smash the locomotive and
one coal car was piled on top of an
other and the contents scattered
Further back in the train two loaded
box cars were wrecked and hung
over the bridge. Que car was loaded
with butter which was scattered
about and the other contained mer-
chandise The latter car is a total
wreck.
The night was dark and a misty
rain was falling which made it hard
to determine with accuracy whether
a train was using the croSSover, it is
said. The engineer of 6S could see
the signal lights ahead which indi-
Gated a clear track as some of the
flats, and it was into these that the
locomotive plunged when the collision
occurred. AS the cars were not high,
the engineers glance was over them
to the lights ahead. The fast mail,
No. 81, was crowding Mclaughlin S
extra and he was trying to get out of
it's way as fast as possible when the
train from the west showed up. Air
was applied but not in time to stop
the train and when the engine got by
the bridge the crew jumped for
safety.
A wrecking crew was soon on the
scene and began the work of clearing
the wreck. Engineer Lee of No. 6S
was hurt about the head. In jumping
from the engine he fell down an en-
bankment. His injuries are not ser
ious.
Despite the rainy weather large
crowds of people viewed the wreck
and the scattered merchandise, some
of which was hurled into the river
Roadmaster Buffmeier was early on
the scene and with a crew Of men be-
gan the work of replacing the torn
up track.

Goes to the Penitentidry

A press dispatch from Michigan ap-
pearing in the Milwaukee and Chicago
papers says that one John J. Meyer,
claiming to be the son of pastor of a
Methodist church in Wisconsin and that
he himself is graduate of Northwestern
University, had been sentenced to serve
five years in the jackson penitentary,
for stealing a pair of shoes at Battle
Creek, Mich, valued at $1.75. He refus-
ed to diyulge his right name saying that
he would rather die than have his father
hear of his predicament. But the idea
of sending a man to the penitentlary
five years for the larceny of pair of
shoes valued at only 81. 70 emphasizes
the fact that there are men on the bench
who could better serve the public by
shOveling on the streets and demonstrate
that tue inequality of punishment is a
crying evil and gives force to the oft re-
peated remark that there are laws for
the rich and poor as far as their enforce
ment is concerned.
