her to render such an accounting.
Mrs. Donely says that her husband. who

i'm Paterson.

PATERSON, \. j., June 29.--Caro 1resca,
the Italian leader In the great Paterson
silk strike, was acquitted in the Passaic
county court this evening after an all day
trial on an Indictment charging him with
"inciting silk workers to assault" In speech
alleged to have been made by him at u
strikers meeting at Turn Hall on April II,
1913
The jury. which was ont only twenty-one
minutes was composed OF twelve men liv-
ing in Hudson county These were selected
in place of Passaic county citizens on mo-
ton of the defence. owing to the infiamed
state Of public opinion during the strike.
Tresca was previously tried on the same
indictment and foreign jury" disagreed,
! second indictment for a similar offence
i SIN hanging over his head. Prosecutor
Dunn said tonight that Tresca would be
brought 10 trial on this charge.
The case against the ]. w. W. aRitator
hinged on the translation of the Italian
word "battelli" used by Tresca. who deliV-
cred the speech in his native tongue.
According TO Detectives Pirola and De
Imccia, Italians, who made notes Of the
speech. Trcsoa said:
This strike Ia the start OF great revolu-
ton | want TO know how many OF you will
20 10 Madison street; go In fiocks. As am
a man, too realize that when you hit them
YOU will hit them easy"
The State contended that going to Madi-
son street meant going TO a silk mill where
weavers we're at work and going In fiocks
meant going In crowds. II also held. and
witnesses so testified. that "battslli" meant
TO be I by force.
Witnesses for the defence said that bat
force" or beating by skill" as in a contest
In other words they Interpreted the alleged
words OF lresca as meaning that tho str'k
ers would win the strike and beat them
at" IL was also denied by witnesses for Tresca
that he used the words at all.

ALBANY. June 3O.--Companlons of Nal
COIN Clifford gave damaging evidence
against him when his trial was resumed
to-day in the County Court. Analysis OF
the record at the close OF the session to-
night indicated that the District Attorney
had woven net of circumstantial evil
dence around young clifford that would in
dictate that he was at the scene OF the
murder OF Frank ]. Clute. the chauffear
he Is charged with shooting to death.
The effect of the constant stream of
damaging testimony was to unnerve
young Clifford At the close of the ses-
sions tonight he was plainly nervous and
worried. His father and mother also be-
gan to show the effects Of the ordeal
through which they are passing.
Confronted to-day by his most intimate
school chum, who told a story which diff
fers In no material way from that upon
which the indictment was based. clifford
began TO show the effects " his trial.
This school chum, Joseph Schimon OF New
York. testified that on the night OF the
murder Malcolm Clifford left his COM
panions at the Boardman residence in
Troy shortly after o'clock. lie said he
when he appeared at the Troy Club and
was seen engaged In conversation with a
girl in a room adjoining the ballroom.
The State claims that clifford murdered
Clute between the hours Of I and II
o'clock on the night of April /. 1913.
Says Dance Was Gay.
Schimon's recital Of the gayety that
attended the dance at the Troy Club and
dinner subsequently at local hotel was
listened to eagerly by the society folk
who crowded to the trial He testified
that several of the boys in his party were
intoxicated and that after the dance they
tapped" the buffet in the Boardman resi-
denCe.

the automatic revolver pawned In North
ampton under the name of clifford is
really the weapon that caused the death
OF Clute.
Saw clifford With Pocketbook.
The most damaging evidence against
clifford was given by Derrick Boardman.
son OF Henry Boardman and companion
Of Clifford. lie testified that he saw Gif-
ford on the roof OF the Boardman home
In Troy on the day after the murder. lie
also testified that a short time before he
had seen him holding in his hands some
thing dark that looked like a pocketbook.
The pocketbook containing Clufes
chauffeur license and photograph was
found under the tin of the roof of the
Boardman residence few months ago.
The State charges that clifford placed IL
there after removing II from the body OF
Clute.
John s. Delamater of Hudson, life
long companion OF clifford, was another
witness for the prosecution. He told OF
being at the clifford home some time
after the Clute murder and of Malcolm
Clifford saying to him:
Come here, I've something to show
you" He said Clifford held revolver
in his hand and said: II don't suppose
you know used THAI once. but l did"
Says He Had Revolver.
Delamater under cross-examination
testified that the revolver was OF the type
that is known as automatic. MIR. Jerome
asked the witness If it were not a fact
that many boys in Hudson carried re-
voivers. but the question was ruled out
Mr.. Jerome was harsh in his cross
examination Of Bert S. Manser. a private
detective. one OF the party that arrested
Clifford al Chatham when he was on his
way back to school this spring Mr..
Jerome charged that the arrest of young
Clifford was veritable abduction. In that
the detectives at the time OF the arrest
had no warrant, but just pounced upon
the boy while he was alone.
Detective Manser testified that while
Clifford was being brought to Albany In
an automobile n pair of gloves which no
had on his hands when taken into Gus
tody disappeared. Manser said Clifford
threw these out the window of the auto
mobile, but refused to explain why.
Mr.. jerome introduced n dark green
pocketbook belonging to clifford, indicat-
ing that this might have been the pocket
book which Derrick Boardman claims to
have seen in Gifford's hands the day after

not belong to Mr. Ballou. according to
Harry Balou. his son. but there is no
positiveness that II did not belong to Mrs.
Angle. She wore mems collars and mems
ties ON her shirt waists, but of all her pins
and brooches this is the only one es-
sentally masculine.

In that nor in the cleaner found in the
washroom OH the third floor. Ii Is a
cleaner properly found in all such places
with "a cylindrical end OF rubber. II could
not have inflicted the marks on the straw
hat worn by Mr. Ballou.
The police theory of the case now rests
on the result OF the analysis OF the spots
and splashes found near Mrs. Angles bed
and around tine ironing board and on the
expert testimony that II was a physical
inpossibilty for Mr.. Ballou to have in
jured himself by fall down those par
ticular stairs.
The engineers and the doctors in COM
pairing notes have drawn a diagram which
shows that MIR. Ballou would have had to
