FOSTER ACQUITTED
OF DYNAMITING
BY MAGISTRATES
NEGRO GOES FREl
ON THE PRELiMINA-
nv HEARING.
HAD CONFESSED TO- CRIHl
Deputy Game Warden Testified Thai
the Prisoner Had Told Him All the
Details Of the Explosion-No Eye
Witnesses.

Jerry Foster, charged with dynamit
ing fish, was tried Saturday morning
before Esqs. Church and Hayes and
acquitted.
Appearing in court with one hand
gone and his arm in a sling, Jerry had
no other defense than that no one saw
him throw the dynamite, and this one
fact was largely responsible for his re-
lease.
Deputy Game Warden Matthers Cor
don testified that the negro had con
fessed to him in the presence Of two
disinterested persons that he was In
the act of dynamiting fish in Ruther-
ford Greek when the high explosive
tore off his arm. He also testified
that the physical facts corroborated
the confession, as a great hole had
been blown in the creek bank, into
which the warm blood had trickled,
leaving its telltale evidence, and that
dynamite had been picked up in the
vicinity of the hole. Mr..
Gordon stated that the negro con-
'essed to him that he held the dyna-
mite stick just a moment too long, in
,rder to permit the rumble of an ap-
preaching train to drown its detona-
ion, and that this hesitation has made
lin a cripple for life. Mr. Gordon
lso showed letter from the State
iame Warden in which Mr. Acklen
ad agreed to permit the case to be
ettled upon payment of costs by Eos
er, but with the admonition "dynamit-
lg must be stopped. This is case
O6" He testified that the negro had
greed to pay the costs, but upon the
dvice of friends had changed his
lind.

,ution and J. G. VOORHEES, conducted

SPECULATION Is
EXTREMELY DULL

NEW YORK, July 13.-The
stock speculation showed signs OF
lassitude today which were not
out of harmony with weather con-
ditiops. All that was accomplished
in the days trading was TO rec
tify the false steps taken in re-
sponse to the sensation mongering
yesterday regarding the German
foreign office utterances. Part OF
this had been accomplished before
yesterdays stock market closed.
There was spasmodic advance
in prices at the opening when
uncovered shorts took stocks at
the prices at which they were Of
fered owing to the discovery that
they had been totally misled by
yesterdays unfounded publica-
ton The satisfaction of this ur-
gent demand left little buying
power in the market and a fresh
decline in the coppers followed.
It developed that while demand
for stocks died out when attempts
were made to advance prices, re-
sistance was encountered on de-
cIines, which argued the existence
of buying orders which would abb
sorb stocks when offered at con-
cessions while refusing to bid for
them on advances.
Amalgamated copper sold down
TO 551s. new low level for the
year. A rally in the price of
copper metal in the London mar
ket relieved this stock from some
of the pressure on it. The ques-
ton of the dividend rate was dis
cussed and the varying views af-
fected the price movement.
The extreme dullness of the
speculation was ascribed partly
to the belief that an early deci-
sion would be made by the inter
state commerce commission
whether to suspend as a whole
the rate advances proposed by the
railroads to go into effect on Aug
ust l. Today's announcement that
il had been determined to allow
none of the higher rates to go
into effect August 1 was the ac-
tive influence in turning the dull
and hesitating tone of the mid
session into positive weakness
later. The strong resistance of
the market to depression was re-
asserted on the reaction and
prices rallied to the best of the
day and to a stronger closing.
News of more general condi-
tions did not show active tenden-
cies, but feeling that fears of crop
damage had exaggerated the real
condition and satisfaction with
the showing being made by the
national banks in their returns
TO the comptroller helped the un-
derlying strength of the stock
market,
The gold engagement announced
evidently referred to the same
transaction as that reported from
London on Monday.

(par value), S1.41o,O00.
