 HEATH MURDER

J. L. Raynor was acquitted of the murder of Calvin Heath by a jury in Judge Stanford's court yesterday. The the morning after seven ballots had been taken and just i4 hours after the case went to the jury.
 The aged defendant was in the court room surrounded by his children and grandchildren when the verdict was returned. He did not at all surprised at the outcome, maintaining the same calm for which he has been noted throughout the day trial He gr.isped the hand of each juror and thanked him as he passed from the court room with his attorney, P. Il. Hayes.
 That Raynor's age was not taken into consideration by the men in their deliberations was stated by one of the jurors who declared that the courts in struction that the defendant had the right to be on the Heath property armed was responsible for the verdict The evidence, he added, brought out the fact that Raynor did not attack Heath until he believed he must in order to protect himself and his home.
 The first ballot was six for conVic- ton and six for ecquittal and the fol- lowing three ballots stood the same after which the jury retired for the night. Yesterday mornings first bal lot brought no change and two more ballots were taken with the result that Raynor was found not guilty.

OF LAMP DESTROYS
 C|TY LANDMARK

Overturning kerosene lansrn Willie he was engaged in arranging an extension electric lamp F. l.. Rich mond, proprietor of small auto repair shop in the alley running from Third 10 Fourth streets. between Washington and Adams streets, was severely burned about the hands in endeavoring to prevent the spectacular blaze that followed The blazing oil from the lantern spread across the floor and communicating with presto tank caused an explosion which partly wrecked the interior of the adobe structure. which had stood for up- wards of 40 years, landmark in that section of the city. Richmond suffer ing with the burns upon his hands, then started to roll barrel of lubricat- ing oil from the building and a large can of kerosene became ignited and exploded, adding further fuel to the flames.
 When the alasm was sounded from box 6S at Fourth and Adams street, flames were leaping skyward and dense cloud of black smoke rolled up- wards and away. The big pump was the first to arrive and Frosty Will son, driver. made a spectacular dash into the alley and past the burning structure, braving the intense heat and the flames in order that an ample line of hose might be laid ready for action. It is believed that this act was in a large measure responsible for the effective work the department was en- abled to perform in preventing the fire from jumping the narrow alley and communicating with the Thalheimer block in which is located several large garages and automobile salesrooms | together with the Arizona Grocery. Soon several streams of water were l playing on the flames and chemical was being used to eXtinguish the oil fire, with success. It was impossible to enter the burning structure and | salvage the many valuable magnetos, l batteries and other automobile parts, i Proprietor I/chAond said after the l fire that he earned no insurance and | he estimated that his loss would not | fall below $500 The damaged struc- | ture was owned by J. J. Kolberg. who
 also carried no insurance. His loss will
 not be heavy.

THE BERRY SISTERS.

This year will mark the 2O0th an
niversary of the birth Of Horace Wal
pole, the great English statesman and
man Of letters. He died in his
eightieth year, and the last decade Of
his long life was cheered by the min
istrations Of the Berry sisters, Agnes
and Mary. Agnes, the elder of these
"platonic wives" Of the aged states
man, died IS years ago today, and
Mary passed away few months later.
They were charming and accomplish
ed women, both well past 40, when
they first met Walpole in the winter
Of 1887. He was fascinated by the
varied attractions of the ladies, who
were the daughters of a. wealthy
Yorkshire man. Flattered by the
statesman's attentions, they spent
much Of their time at Strawberry
Hill, the famed Walpole estate near
London When absent from the abode
of "the forlorn antique the sisters
exchanged many letters with their
veteran lover. ''Walpole," says one
of his biographers, twas very fond
of his two wives, as he called them,
would write any number of letters to
them, and tell them stories of his
early life'' In 1910 the sisters pub
lished Walpole's letters, and they also
wrote several books and articles about

NOT UTOPIAN

NM ARRANGED militant program which NAV be
ivy declared Utopan and laughed of court-Mr King
! at Mckinley dinner.
The program is not Utopan and will not laughed out Of
court The arrangement Of the is however
bic and ridiculous the arrangement would spoil any
sort of a legislative program.
Most of the which it proposed confide to
the care Of twelve sound legislation
deem widely adopted But would adopted
the proposals had everywhere been matter
in the control Of single commission. e
Mr.. King rather nisundersands public Nobody
laughs at his measures nobody thinks them Utopan everybody
knows he has compiled modern legislative program which
everywhere being accepted
But lot Of people think Mr. Kings program isn't militant
cian with the usual destinations in mind to climb
Of good measures effort to climb into influence
Judgement upon Mr. Kings program is based Mr.
Kings record, while he has led his party in Bridgeport
He has talked from time to time very pretiy about beau
M things But the legislation he has raised in his garden
not pretty at all
.a THERE'S great debt but no ice plant
There is great tax rate, but commission plan
There numerous policemen, place holders in
all Mr. King has grown in power and
prosperity. E
But the ordinary citizens Of Bridgeport finds it harder
harder to meet the expense which Kings policies con-
irived.
Mr. King may we'll know that his policy thought to be
divided into two parts policy for his show window repre-
Sented by his commission for the millennium policy
business truly militant policy which for the present
debt Of Bridgeport and by his purpose put another
lion for Warrente A#8
policy of millions Warrenite surely militant and
not bit Utopan.1
So Mr. King will understand community is not as
simple as it's endurance would indicate.
