May be consulted at Whitney's Musk Store Gallatin Mo September 6 A largo audi ence was in the Court House to hear Prosecut ing Attorney Wallace close for the State in the rank James trial He said the question before jury was: the bt the law pr the ai of the bandit the stronger in Mis souri The testimony was taken up and the action of tha defensein changing its course in the face of the jury in abandoning the Jim Cummings theory stfongly commented upon The defense had said a great deal about the Rbck Island Railroad to excite granger pre judice It is not wounded capital that calls upon you to redress wrongs It is a pool ofthe blood of labor not capitalthat cries out fori justice It is the bleeding wounds of Mr Millan the stone mason that speaks Wallace then went into an analysis of the testimony) treatinit from memory and in a remarkably clear and forcible manner the jury was sought to recall that in all the trans actions of the gang they were moved by greed for money alone and chivalric revenge for wrongs committed during the war had nothing to do with it There was enthusiastic applause at the close of the speech The Bailiff then took charge or the jury which retired at 12:29 The proyalling idea Is that the jury will disagree or return a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree The court adjourned until 4 ACQUITTED Gallatin Mo September 6 rank James was acquitted 1 The jury returned a verdict at 4 and the announcement was ap plauded The prisoner received it coolly ft AN OUTRAGE upon JUSTICE Kansas City Mo September The topic of conversation upon the streets this evening is rank acqjxittaL There are many who say they expected it but the majority say they looked for the disagreement" of the jury Public sentiment can be quoted as strong' in condemnation o( the verdict although there are those who argudfrom a strict legal stand point that the jury was justifiable1 in 'acquit ting the evidence being made up of testimony supported only by circum stantial evidence The general feeling how ever is one of disappointment and chagrin that the strong chain of evidence woven by the State failed to stand Expressions of sympathy with the prisoner or satisfaction over his ac quittal are confined to a very few who are and nave been friends and can be taken in no" way whatsoever as 'an indication of the actual public sentiment here A frequent ex pression is that the verdict is an outrage and an unjust stigma upon the State Charges of jury fixing afeo are bandied about I GOV CHITTENDEN INTERVIEWED Kansas City Mo September The news that rank James was acquitted was received with various comments Those who had close ly watched the progress of the trial said the outcome was not a surprise i Gov Crittenden when asked by a reporter if he had any opinion to "express regarding the verdict replied that he had not It is the Verdict of a jury he said and it would be' im proper for me to comment upon it The case has been pushed with great energy It has been both prosecuted and defended with great Ability perhaps more so thau imy othe crim inalcase in the history of the State 1 What effect does this dcquittal have upon rank James in regard to thfe requisition from Minnesota Are there not other indict ments Answer believe so for the murder of Westfall and Sheets and for the Blue Cut rob 1 would still be regarded as in the custody of the State so far as requisitions from other States are A but I cannot say what course will be pursued toward him in the counties where the indictments were ATER THE VERDICT Gallatin Mo September Upon the an nouncement of "the verdict quite a decided dem onstration of applause came from certain quarters of the court room The fcourt how ever quickly frowned it down and singling out a young man who had made a movement to throw up his hat called him to tiles bar and administered a severe reprimand The youth proved to be Luther James of Kansas City a cousin of the defendant OTHER INDICTMENTS The question of the disposition of the remain ing indictments for complicity in killing A Vest fall at the Winston robbery And the murder of Sheets at Gallatin Bank robbery in 1868 came up an4 after consideration the cases were con tinued until the October term and the prisoner was remanded to await further trial It is an nounced that he will not attempt to give boil but remain in jail until next term The prisoner received the verdict with 'per fect composure as did also his wife but Mrs Samuels was much affected In order to guard against any disturbance which might follow the single saloon of the place was closed It can truthfully be said that the verdict was a genuipe surprise to the community and much indignation is expressed A member of the jury stated to acorrespond ent that the first ballot stood eleven for ac quittal and one for conviction and that one after hearing the explanation of the views made the vote an acquittal Conversations with the foreman of the jury corroborated the statement of this juryman As indicating public sentiment a subscrip tion paper was circulated and signed by over 100 citizens including the fpremost men and most of the business men at the place for the purpose of presenting to Prosecutor Wal lace of Kansas City a testimonial of their heartiest indorsement of his conduct of the case and appreciating his efforts iu behalf of the State w' ST LOUIS OPINIONS: 1 St Louis September 6 As nearly as can be ascertained to night the "opinion prevails among a large number of substantial citizens of St Louis that the acquittal of rank James to aay will prove unfortunate for the State and will have a bad effect abroad The Republican will say editorially in the morning: The trial of rank James the noted train robber and desperado resulted contrary to general expectation in a verdict Of acquittaL The explanation doubtless is that the defense managed to impress the minds of the jury with a doubt as to the actual presencaof the 'prisoner at the time of "the commission of the particular crime for which he was arraigned Whether the case of the State was fully made out according the strict requirements of criminal law with its presumption of inno cence the acquittal carries with it no vindica tion of the desperate and infamous character of the accused which was shown or adnunit ted at almost every stage of the trial The Globe Democrat will treat the matter as follows: The public were nd more prepared for a verdict of acquittal in the rank James trial than they were in the Star Route case A disagreement was thought probable by those acquainted with the Section from which the jury were secured but that twelve men even in that locality would be a unit against conviction in the face of the evidence produced was a possibility which wasi seriously Entertained by very few The outcome is a misfortune to the Commonwealth of Missouri It cannot do otherwise than create an unfavorable Impression abroad It a practical revelation that there exists a public sentiment in a not inconsiderable portion of the btate which re gards with complacency such a career as that of rank James and in some incomprehensi ble manner connects it with the cause of the South in the war for the rebellion One of the telling points of defense wm the Cask ildt on the Nail Rit HMOND Va September It is said

testimony before the senate committee New York September 6 The Senate Com mittee on Labor and Education resumed its session today John Swinton took the stand and testified at considerable length He recom mended the revival of the income tax as orig inally in force the establishment of a national board of Industry empowered to collect labor statistics of every description and including power to enforce the Eight hour law estab lishment of effectual boards of health educa tion and public 'works industrial schools and colleges on the rench systein public ownership of railroads and telegraphs and the Belgian system of freedom of patents postal banks under the British system' land laws which will prevent the holding by private individuals of great tracts of land public ownership of coal iron gold and other mines and all oil wells Every one of those measures has been put in practice in 6ue country or another were all capable of enforcement by legislation and have in ev ery instance proved successful A national bureau of industry is absolutely necessary for secur ingwise legislation as there were no data of accuracy upon legislators could rely The present system of boards ofhealth was not effective as shown by the state of public health in all large cities In New York the people in some districts were crowded together like animals children grew upwith un healthy and enfeebled constitutions "Witness maintained that industrial schools such as ex ist in nearly all European countries should be instituted here and be under control of the government 'Swinton said the working of the railroads and telegraph lines by the govern ment in Berlin showed conclusively chat it should be adopted in this country He thought legislation had jxwer to do this He was also of the opinion that the government should in stitute postal banks where the poorer classes could make deposits and obtain an annuity In speaking of the press witness in answer to a question from tienator Blair said the press as a rule was unfavorable to the working classes' 1 convinced of that saia Sen ator Blair this investigation has been in proerets and in my opinion such willful misrepresentation should be punished crimin ally In closing Swinton urged "the committee to doall in their' power to raise and educate the lower classes jr si JOHN JARRETT i President of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of Pennsylvania said he had been engaged twenty five years iu the iron industry The Pennsylvania associa tion of which he was the head was composed of employes of the iron and steel rolling mills The objecLof the organization was to secure the moral asocial mental and financial im provement of its members and bring about conditions whereby the rights of workmen ara recognized and that they get a fair wages for a fair Work There were many mills in Pennsyl vania which were not under of the union In these the rate pf wages was invar iably lower than the union mills There had been numerous strike? before the supremacy of the union was ac knowledged by the manufacturers 1 members of a new organization there was al ways a tendency to strike on the least provoca tion Now methods of arbitration were pur sued largely with satisfactory results Rep resentatives of workmen and manufacturers met once a year and decided on the scale of prices and wages AJ1 iron works were in favor of protection because it protected them in their rates Protection did not increase the price of steel but if it did not exist there would be no employment for iron and steel workers In some of the mills which are not controlled by the workmen are paid the same wages as those in English manufactories Jarrett in answer to Senator CaUaeaid: A man who sold his iron for $10 per ton less than his competitor and disposed of three times the quamty his competitor did would be able to pay better wages but the trouble would be to make hint exercise his ability in this respect The laboring classes should be compelled to at tend school and the government should appro priate the means to carry out a system of pub lic education Jarrett said if the industry of tin plate manu facturing was carried on in this country it would give employment to 4000 men The ore could be obtained from California and Australia as 'cheaply as England could obtain it from her own mines Under the present tariff rates the tm plate manufacture could not be carried on The industry was connected intimately with iron working Tin plate manufacture was attempted a year ago in Pennsylvania but failed on account of the re duction of i thetariff England can produce plates at a cost of ft a box It cauaot be 1 done here at such price Seventeen million dollars: were paid to Eng lish manufacturers last year by American merchants for this commodity The tariff should be increased so that American manu facturers could afford to pay the wages of the men engaged in the industry In this country we use more tinplate than is used in the rest of the world but the tariff is not high enough to permit us to manufacture When trade was arrested by the reduction of the tariff there were four rolling mills in this country Apartments iu teneraents here costing tlfl a month would not cost more' than $4 in Eng land ood is about as cheap here as here There is a tendency to lower wages by the em ployment of Bohemians to do unskilled labor ana this tendency is encouraged by the con stant introduction of labor saving machines Steel manufacturers have imported workmen for the purpose of lowering wages Witness favored the establishment of a bureau of labor statistics the enforcement of the eight hour law and the prevention of strikesby arbitration There should be a na tional law he thought incorporating trades unions He believed in the organization of capitalists as well as workingmen THE TRAVELING SECTION THE COMMITTEE Woonsocket I September fl Senators Aldrich of Rhode Island
