GEOLOGICAL STUDY

, STAUNTON, VA, Nov. 26.--Charles
Donaghe walked from the courtroom
yesterday free man After FIVE min
utes' elaboration the jury received
the case late in the afternoon and re-
turned with verdict of not guilty.
The old man burst into tears In sym
pathy as he shook In uncomfortable
paroxysms OF weeping
Immediately the verdict was an
nounced the friends OF the family
crowded around him and he APP
peared about to collapse. but later,
with the assistance Of others he was
half supported from the courtroom.
and went to the home of Mrs. G.. e.
Early, Of this city a relative, where
he was TO spend the night.
The trial was the most remark
able ever held in Stanton. The
prisoner. apparently secure In the be-
lief that nothing was being left UNI
done to protect him, sat through the
two days unmoved az witness after
witness took the stand. Unable 10
hear a word of what was said, and
sustained throughout the trying hours
simply by nerve control. he must have
presented a study In psychology &c
those interested in that science. Or
trial for his life and unable to un-
ierstand a word his accusers uttered
he remained interested in the pre-
ceedings, but more as spectator
night than as the prisoner before
the bar.

REFUSE TO SERVE WINE.

| Mr.. and Mrs. ". J. Bryan set am
excellent example in Washington, D.
| c., Monday night when they refused
! to serve wine at d dinner they gave
| in honor Of Ambassador James Bryce
and other members of the diplomatic
corps. We understand that they
have never used wine or liquor OF
any kind in their life time. Their ac-
| ton in this respect is to be common
| ded and those who use wine and 9th
er intoxicants will honor them in
| being true to their former customs
and convictions. Mr. Bryan's explain
alton follows:
| This was the first dinner which We
| have given to members of the diplO-
matte corps and therefore the first
time when we came into conflict with
| the social custom Of serving wine at
| dinner. The seven other ambassadors
| then in the city and their ladies wret
! invited to meet Ambassador and Mrs.
| Bryce, and as all the gentlemen guests
present were foreign countries l thOt
it proper to explain to them the rea-
son for our failure to conform to what
seems to have been customary in
this matter.
Believing that the issue should be
met frankly in the beginning | told
| them when We sat down to the table
that Mrs. Bryan and l had been
teetotalers from our youth, as were
our parents before US, and had new
er served liquor at our table, that
when the president was kind enough
to tender me the portfolio of state,
| / asked him whether our failure to
arVe wire would re any embsarssss-
ment to the administration, and tn
he generously left the matter to our
discretion. l suggested that l thot
it unfair to assume that those coming
| TO US from abroad would Judge us
harshly or be unwilling to tolerate
the maintenance of a traditional GUS
tom and expressed the hope that our
! friendship would be made so appar-
ent ID them and our hospitality so
cordial that they would overlook this
weakness in us, if they regarded it
as a weakness. My remarks were ap
plauded by the company and we new
er spent a more enjoyable evening
THAT is all there is to the matter
and we can consider the incident
closed and the custom established so
far as We are concerned"
