JURY ACQUITs IsENHOWER.
Ex-Governor BlcaSe Defended Man
Indicted-"Performe Sacred Duty"

York, S. c., Dec. 11.-After being
out one and a half hours the jury in
the Ernest Eisenhower case brought
in a verdict Of mot guilty, at $50
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The case
went to the Jury at | o'clock, after
which court adjourned for the noon
recess. The verdict was returned
immediately after the cOnvening OF
court for the afternoon session. The
result was heard in silence, there be-
ing no demonstration Of any kind.
Sacred Duty, Says BIeasc.
The first argument Of the day and
the closing one for the defense was
made by Coleman l.. Blease. The
speaker told the jurors that each
one of them had an opportunity sec
ond to that Of no man that had ever
lived in South Carolina. He said
that he would rather sit in their
places on this occasion and return a
verdict Of not guilty than have any
other privilege Of which he knew ex-
cept that OF sitting in the Executive
Mansion in Columbia and writing a
full pardon to every one involved in
the affair. Clyde Isenhower, said
Mr.. Blcase, performed an absolute
and sacred duty to God and man
when he shot the negro julie Smith.
There is not a white man in South
Carolina" declared the speaker,
"who would have acted differently
under the circumstances. He main
tanned that the bullet that killed
Raleigh Boulware was not fired by
Ernest lsenhower, but by some one
else in the general fusillade, saying
that the course of the bullet after
it entered Boulware's body bore out
this assertion.

NEW ENGLAND sTORM-GRIPPED.
Ma SSaChuscttS Points Buried In 30
Inch Snow-Wind so Miles,

New York, Dec. 14.-Snow, sleet
and at times cold, drizzling rain
swirled over practically all of
New England and the States OF New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
most Of last night in what is probably
the most severe general storm that
has gripped the east since December
6, 1911.
Having blown itself out to sea to-
day in the vicinity Of Nantucket, the
storm will likely be followed by a
sharp drop of temperature and will
next be heard Of sweeping eastward
along the routes Of the transatlantic
steamers. Snow was still falling dur
ing the forenoon in parts of New Eng
land and in upper New York State.
j Wire trouble, stalled trains, tenn
porary milk shortage in New York,
and street accidents, all came as the
aftermath Of last nights blow.
In New York city proper six inches
OF SNOW fell. Fifteen thousand men
were shoveling this away to-day. The
commissioner said $4,000 men we're
needed.
Twenty-Five Trains Held Up.
POughkeepsie, n. Y, Dec. 14.-
Three men are known to be wounded,
two others are missing and hundreds
OF passengers are imprisoned in %
railroad trains near this city as 'he
result of the blizzard The fatalities
occurred at Beacon, Hudson and Co
Ionic. The property damage is esti-
mated at S25O,O00.
Connecticut Hard Hit.
| New Haven, Conn, Dec. 14.-The
storm was q heavy one throughout
Connecticut, the snowfall and sleet
both causing serious damage. Many
trains were stalled for hours through
lack Of power. Locomotives had to
be called out to eXtricate the trains.
Throughout the night the railroad
| had gangs Of men out clearing
switches and cross-overs. The dam
age done to overhead wire construc-
tion will require weeks to repair.
Hurricane in Massachusetts,. a.,
Boston, Dec 14.---Although Iaany
points along the New Engla sslast
could not be 'reached 4because b tine
general interruption Of wire service,
reports early to-day indicated that
| the worst Of the storm which swept
this section last night had passed out
| to sea, and with the shifting Of the
winds from the west the weather bu-
reau announced that clearing condi-
tons would soon prevail. The wind
attained a maximum Of 50 miles an
| hour in Boston last night, but drop
ped 20 20 this morning.
Reports from points along Cape
Cod said the wind had reached hurri-
| cane DrOOOrtiCnS but that il had Su H.
sided and that the barometer was ris-
| ing steadily. Many coast guard sta
tions were cut off by the storm, but a
general inquiry failed to show any
disaster to shipping.
Berkshire county was in the grasp
Of the worst snow storm in twelve
years to-day. The snow, already 30
inches deep, was still falling. Troll
ley and steam railroad traffic was
practically paralyzed. All schools
are closed. If the storm continues
until night it will equal the gr AT
storm of 1888.
