EXPECTANCY
ny c. L. AUSTIN.

On crisp, cool Monday morning,
At the rising oi the sun,
While the dew still sparkled like dia-
monds
The journey was begun.
Light-hearted, happy with freedom;
With laughter, jest and song.
To make the way more cheerful,
As they merrily trudged along.
But--as night began drawing her cur
tains,
And days glories begant TO fade,
The happy band looked anxious
For some suggestion to be made.
Ii is hard To be tired and hungry
With good things so close by;
The corn rustling near in the corn field
Beneath the darkening sky.
And the wheat like waves on the ocean
Gold, in the light OF moon;
But keep up your courage longer,
For something will happen soon.

Charge That Juror Was
Biased in Mining Case
Sustained by Court.
u. S. PROSECUTORS
ARE ENUMERATED
Accused Mans Associates Have
Already Completed Terms
in Federal Prison.

\ new trial was granted Yesterday to
Albert Freeman, who was convicted with
Julian Hawthorne and DR.. ". g. Morton.
OF Boston. for using the mails to defraud
investors in Canadian mining stocks. Tha
decision. hich was handed dowr By
Judge Mayer i'm the Federal Court, held
that one Of the jurors who convicted the
three men had previously sat on a federal
grand jury that had investigated another
chase OF the case.
Freeman had been sentenced 10 the fed
eral penitentiary for five years. but APP
pcaled and was released under sl50,Cs
bail. The biassed juror complained of by
Wilson r. Brice, Freeman's attorney
was Michael Koch, Of No. &c Sixth ave-
nue.. now an assistant sergeant-at-a'ms
in the Assembly at Albany.
In his Application for a new trial Brice
filed afiidayits charging that the agents
Of the government went to Canada and
inundated certain witnesses whose tes-
timony would have been valuable to Haw-
thorne. Morton and Freeman. II was also
charged that Assistant District Attorney
Claude a. Thompson influenced Joseph
McNulty. mining engineer, Of Kingston,
Ontario. 70 keep away from the trial AS
sistant District Attorney Goldthwaite
Dorr was likewise implicated.
Judge MAYER, in an accompanying opin-
ion. exonerated Thompson and Dorr from
any improper conduct.
What was done by the government
during the taking Of dispositions I'm Can
ada, Judge Mayer wrote. was evidently
done in absolutely good faith, and 7 am
satisfied that there was no intimidation.
This conclusion disposes Of the charge
that Mr.. Thompson concealed from the
jury the alleged intimidation OF McNulty.
AS 10 Mr.. Dorr. all his actions in Can
ada were justified. With the information
before him he was entirely justified in
taking the steps he did take. AS Mr.. Dorr
has returned TO private practice, il is but

case was honorable and proper. as il has
been in every case in which | have OBJ
served him. AS TO Thompson, no question

The court held that Koch, the petit
Juryman knowingly concealed the fact
that his service on the grand jury in
freemans case disqualified him from CIV
ing verdict in the case.
