showing for the stock in view of the
fact that IL was eX-dividend today,
and while the sale price was the same
as the last previous sale, 1t represents
an advance OF over a point with the
dividend on. The bid for the common
stock. which also was ex-dividend,
was lowered a point to "a, with the
offering unchanged atSS2.
A quotation lot OF Capital Traction
stock sold at 81. and an odd lot Of
3 shares brought S3S bid and Sc

1O6%, and $500 Traction 8 brought
1863. The bid for the full Traction

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Trading was

of professional origin Price changes
were variable and OF no great stgnin'

suffered q further decline Of some

also reactioHary, but South Porto

shipping shares were weak at the
opening, with Mercantile Marine COM

lower, and Atlantic Gulf common over
points down.
By the close Of the ffrst hour there
was considerable recovery in this
group in q continuous backing and

sustained Improvement The muni-
ton and equipment specialties were
likewise depressed somewhat with
considerable recovery at times. Cen

The railroad list was quiet and mar
rowly irregular. Reading was UP a

closely to the Tuesday level at the
close. Canadian Pacifc lost nearly

NEW PHASES OF
LATE HOMICIDE
Jury Out Few Hours When
Announced Agreement
'?so-o
Had Been Reached.
Especially

Quincy, Fla, Oct. 27--The jury in
the case of the State VS.. Leo Powell
for the killing of Frank B. Radcliffe
returned verdict this morning at O.
o'clock of not guilty. The jury had
the case given to them last night at
IL o'clock, and the sheriff had in
structions from the judge that if the
jury was ready to return a verdict
before o'clock in the morning to call
the court and the attorneys. The
largest crowd ever assembled in
Gadsden county court house in the
trial of case was in attendance and
at no stage of thetrial did it seem
to tire. The interest was general
throughout the county. Powell had
grown up from a boy in one of the
most intelligent neighborhoods of
the county and his friends were le-
gion.
The state tried to show malice on
the part of the defendant, and left
no stone unturned to carry out this
theory. 1t went back for a period
of three years to try to get some evil
dence to bolster up its case, but every
attempt of the state to show malice
on the part tof Powell rebounded on
the state, by showing that in any diff
ferences which Radcliffe and Pow
ell had in the past, that Radcliffe
was at that time the man who used
vile language towards Powell, and
that Powell had never used any Ian
guage toward Radcliffe that was not
respectful and had never made any
threat towards Radcliff. The state
was very insistent that certain re-
ports which had been made by Pow
ell on the 23rd of September and
which had gone wrong by some means
and which had been Returned to the
agency at River junction from Louis
vile on the 28th of September, was
the cause of Powell's animosity to-
wards Radclff; that Radcliff had
gotten these reports back and was
| condemning Powell because he had
! not sent the reports to the Apalachi-
cola Northern Railroad Company, to
which part of the reports belong The
peculiar part of these reports was
