MANSLAUGHTER IS
 JURY'S VERDICT IN
 MOTORMAN'S CASE

New Haven, May 21.-James L. Mo Guire, motorman on the trolley car that was wrecked in Cheshire on Feb passengers. was found guilty of man slaughter by a jury in the superior court yesterday afternoon. The jury went out about noon and returned with the verdict of guilty at 3:O5 o'clock in the afternoon. McGuire took the verdict calmly. although it was quite evident that he was disap- pointed by the result. When the yer dict had been announced. Lawyer Charles S. Hamilton, associated with Lawyer James M. Lynch of Waterbury in the defense of Mcclure moved that the verdict be set aside as being con- trary to the evidence and Judge, Lucien F. Burpee said that he would hear arguments on the motion on Monday, May 26th, at 2 o'clock.
 Mcclure will not be sentenced by Judge Burpee until this motion has been disposed of. If he denies the motion, Judge Burpee will probably pass sentence upon Mcclure on Mon day afternoon. The verdict yesterday came after a six-days trial The trial was started on Tuesday, May 14th. Judge Burpee has practically unlinit- ed discretion in imposing sentence in a manslaughter case and may give NAG6U4r0 any rom a 1En6- to 10 years in prison.
 The state based the charge of man slaughter against Mcclure on the death of William F. Harper of New Haven, who was one of the two pas sengers killed. It was claimed by States Attorney Arnon A. filling, in his closing argument yesterday morn ing, that McGuire was grossly negli- gent and careless and that the acci- dent was directly due to this. MT. AL ling claimed that McGuire. knowing that the rails were in a bad condition and knowing the dangerous conditions at that particular point on the line, should have exercised more care than he did.
 The defense claimed that the acci- dent was due to the defective appara- tus and equipment of the trolley com pany and not to McGuire's careless ness MT. Hamilton in the closing ar gument for the defense claimed that the brakes on the car that Mcclure was operating worked slowly and that he could not stop his car in tine to prevent collision with the stone train.

BOSTON & MAINE PENSIONS

It has been said that railroads do not make money: they collect and distri- brlte money. Some roads do this not alone in wages but in pensions to su- perannuated employees.
 Figures just made public by the Bos- ton and Maine railroad show that in the thirty months from Oct. 1, 1910, to March 31, 1913, there has been an in crease in the pensions paid to en- ployees amounting to $169, 742.84. In the nine months from Oct. l, 1910, to June 30, 1911, the amount paid out in pensions increased $26, ,969 In the year following the increase in pensions was $75,455., and for the nine months from June 30, 1912 to March 31 last there was a still further increase of $63, S17.
 These figures indicate that the rate of increase in the amount of pensions paid is greater this year than in either of the two previous years, showing how the system is being extended.
 The number of pensioners at the present time Is 25S and they receive each month a total of $S, 206. 63. There are 22 general and other officers re- cefviug a total of $2,409; fourteen clerks receiving $324.66; forty-seven agents and statioumen receiving $1,- o73.49; thirty-nine switchmen and watchmen receiving $675.71: thirty-nine engineers receiving s1.245.e4; sixteen passenger conductors receiving $545.45S six freight conductors receiving $19S. 22, four other trainmen receiving s110; for tp-etght shopmen rsceavtng s1.143.ss
