Despite Jury's Verdict, Mrs.
Bass Says It Was Worth
$4,000 to See Enge|bert
Get a Good Licking.
OTHER MEMBERS REFUSE
TO DISCUSS THE CASE
Jury Was Out But As Minutes,
The DeIiberation Involving
Only the Amount of Fines to
Be Assessed.

It required. but forty-five minutes
deliberation on the part of the jury in
the Bass assault and battery case, to
return verdict of guilty for each de-
fendant. in the city court yesterday
afternoon, with the following fines:
William c. Bass, $50 and costs; Ellis
worth Bass. SIS and costs; Miss Isa-
belle Bass, $40 and costs and Mrs. Me-
lie Bass, S. and costs.
Despite the heavy fines imposed on
all the parties, Mrs. Bass made the
statement Immediately after the ver-
dict was returned, to the effect that
she was perfectly satisfied with the
result and declared that it was worth
$1,000 to see Arthur Englebert horse
whipped as he was last Thursday
night. The other members of the
family refused to state what they
thought of the verdict. However. in
view of the fact that Mr.. Bass thanked
the jury as body after he had heard
their verdict, it is presumed that he is
satisfied also. All Of the members of
the Bass family were present when the
verdict was read. Miss Isabelle Bass
did not display any emotion at the
reading of the verdict by Judge Con-
verse, but her countenance lighted mp
with apparent satisfaction when the
amount of her fine was revealed.

In Line FOR CARDINAL.
Mgr. FaIconio May Be Elected to Col.
Iege in January.

Washington, Sept. 25.-There seems
to be n systematic advancement from
the post at Washington under the
Catholic church. to the college of Car
dinals in Rome. If Mgr. Falconio
is chosen for elevation to the College
of Cardinals at the January sitting of
the consistory at Rome he will be fol-
lowing in the footsteps of his prede-
cessors at Washington, Mgr. Satolli and
Mgr. Martineili.
Mgr. Falconio is a man of wide edu-
cation and of unusual diplomatic abil
ity. Being not yet 20 years of age, it
is not too much to propnesy he may
