" CHURCH NOT GUILTY. The Jury is out only a Little over an Hour Deliberating. THE VERDICT WIDELY APPROVED. The Defendant and his Wife tell their Stories on tho St and-Tho Testimony Closed at Noon and tho SpcccheH Occupy tho Afternoon and Kveiiing-A Largo Crowd Present when tho Ver Ulct is Kcndercu. The second and last day of the trial of Frank Church for tho murder of Edward Neald, opened at 9 o'clock yesterday morning in Part II of tho circuit court before Judge PaulL Tho first witness was Dr. S. L. S. Spragg, who attended Neald in tho lock-up after his arrest. Being questioned as to the amount of chloral taken by Neald, ho said no overdoso had beon administered. E. B. Carnoy and A. P. Shallcross testified to the excellent character and law abiding disposition of tho prisoner. By this time thore was a large attendance of spectators, it having been noised about thnt both Frank Church and his wife would bo put on tho stand during tho day. Mrs. Church was next put on tho stand, and under tho questioning of Captuin Dovenor told her story, which in substance is as follows; Edward Neald, who was a Bible and album salesman, first visited the Church house in April, soliciting orders f.?r hia nstrwlu On tlx. ni-puinn f\t lli? ilrat visit sho bought nothing, bat when her husband heard about Neald being there, lie toid his wife that it would be n good move to buy a family Bible. Acting 011 tnifl suggestion Mrs. Church bought a Bible from Neald a few days later. Altogether lie made five visits. On the evening of October 23, ho came while she was getting .supper, and made indecent proposals to her, which were indignantly refused. Being afraid of meeting Church, he left. That night however, lie called about ton o'clock, and kuocked at the front door, calling for Mrs. Church, who recognizing his voice, paid no attention to him. lie attempted to raise the windows, and push in the door, but failing, left the premises. After ho had left. Mrs. Church who was thoroughly frightened, called in some of the neighbors. In this condition of a (lairs, the husband arrived early jn the morniup. When told of the attempt of Neald toonterthe house, lie told his wife that Neald was going away to .Moundsville at 8 o'clock in the morning, and to fear nothing more from him. louring the forenoon Church waB surprised to lind an album, the propor- j ty of Neald, on a slielf in front of the | house. On cross examination nothing j to shake her testimony doveloped. The prisoner, Frank Church, was the 1 next witness. As to his relations to Neald he told the following story: lie lirst saw Neald at his houso when he | was there selling a Bible. On the evening nrovions to the meeting on Eleventh I street, ho had talked with him in the ' JIcLuro house entrance, when N'eald told him he wanted some hooks hauled | to the Baltimore & Ohio depot, as ho intended going to Moundsvillo the next morning. Both went to Neald's room on Main street, and the box of books was put in tho express wagon and taken to the depot. That evening the two men drank some together, first at Lenhardt's, then at Badcr & Mauer's and McLuro house bar. At the latter place they parted a little after 9 o'clock. Un being'questioned by Captain Dovener, Church said ho was not in the habit of carrying any lire arms, but that i he did usually carry a short stick, when carrying the mail. He went home at 3 | o'clock and was then told of Noald's appearance thero and attempts to entor during the evening. It was after 10 o'clock when ho went down town on the morning of the 24th. He inquired atKlig's wagon shop about a wagon shaft that was being repaired lor him, and while thero he picked up a piece of a buggy shaft about eighteen inCll(!B 1UI1? lO I1UVU Wll,11 UIUI micu carrying the mail. Shortly after this ho was on Water street near the Pan-llandle station and saw Edward Neald, a ?hort distance ahead of him, turn the corner and go out Eleventh. "It occurred to me," ho said, "that he was going back in my house to renew his insults to my wife and to ruin her and iny family. I followed after him and caught up to him in frontof Grant's barbershop. Isaid: 'Mr. Neald. you insulted my wife.' He replied: 'Oh, I guess not,' and tossed his head. Then I struck at him and we scuttled for the stick. 1 hit him several times, l inally 1 got the stick and he started up Kleventh street and turned down Main. I saw which way he wont and returned to the Pan Handle station. The only reason I struck him was ' becauso I thought he was going up to renew his insults to my wife." On cross-oxamina lion, iiiiurcu Biitu no uucuucu iu (.muaii Nonld when ho mot him, but ho would not have struck liitn had he properly apologized to him on that fatal morning. lie didn't follow him and strike hiui from behind. After ho Raw ho was going down street instead of up toward his homo he returned to tho depot. "I did it, ae tiod is my judge," ho said, "because 1 was of the opinion ho was returning to my homo to ruin my wifo and family." The scene in tho court room during tho testimony of Air. and Mrs. Church was very affecting and intensely dramatic. ^Particularly was this true whon tho little three-year-old daughter of Church ran to him while ho was on the witness stand, and crving, "Papa, papa," climbed up and kissed him. E. H. Wilde, George Caldwell and Hullihen Quarrior testified as to tho character of the prisoner. Lockup Keeper Mehen was next called to the stand, and said that after medicine had boon givon Neald in his coll, ho had soon afterward complained nniii in Itia hnail Ha nflnm-nnla IniH down in his cell, and lostconsciousness, and was in that condition when death came. This ended the morning session. At tho opening of the A FTEKNOON SESSION the defense announced that it rosted its cose. Mr. Howard then opened tho arirumont for tho state. In the courao of his speech he surprised everybody by saying that tho evidence would not warrant a verdict of murder in tho first or second decree, and that all tho stato -wanted was a verdict of voluntary mannlauchter. Mr. Howard mado a clean cut and as convincing an argument as wn* poasiblo in the face of the evidence. Mr. John J. ConiiT, of counsel for the defonse, followed, and made a convincing and eloquent appoal to the jury. At tho conclusion of Mr. Conifi's speech Captain 15. B. Dovenor started on a two hours' argument for the defonse, which is considered one of tho most masterful and eloquent appeals ever made to a jury in Ohio county. He reviewed tho case from beginning to end, dwelling fully on the doabt that exists aa to whother the blow struck by Frank Church was tbo cause of Edward Xeald's death, lie intimated that an overdose of chloral given Neald when in the lockup keeper's room might be tho cause, or the fact that while in an unconscious condition* he had fallen from the bod onto tho stone fleorund injured liia hcud. At the conclusion of Captain Dovoner's eloquent appeal tho court adjourned until 7:30 o'clock. THE EVENING SESSION. In tho ovoning Fro3ecutor Howard mado the closing argument, holding that tho prisoner wa* guilty of voluntary manslaughter, having killed Neald U'ithnnt. intuitilifH' to. hut in tha com mission of an unlawful act. IIo urged tho jury to lose sight of any consideration of sympathy or mercy, and docido on the law and the evidence. Judge raull'fl instructions to the jury wore read by tho counsel about ten minutes after nirio, and the jurors retired to their room. .Shortly after ten Sheriff S teen rod, after consultation with tho prisoner and his wife, went out to seo if there was any prospect of an agreement beforo inorninz. The jury asked him to wait a few minutes, and shortly announced that they had reached a veruict, and tiled into court. Judgo Paull asked the sheriff to enforce tho rules and proservo order, seeing that there was no demonstration of approval or disapproval. Clerk Mitchell then read tho verdict, "We, the jury, find the prisoner not guilty." In spito of tho whrning therfc was some applause, but tho judge and sheritl silenced it. The jury was oxcused till Monday morning, and tho prisoner was discharged from custody, lie was warmly congratulated by many friends. Tho verdict gave tho liveliest satisfaction all over town. LOCAL.

NO MATERIAL CHANGE EFFECTED As to any of the Cfllcc* in Contest, though Majorities Fluctuate a Vote or two uh Kach Precinct is Countod. Several 3Ioro Yellow Ballots Found, and Action on tliom Deferred?A Hidavits Erroneously Enclosed with the Ballots. There was little of interest in the morning ecssion of the board of canvassers yeBterday. Two precincts were liniflhed, which ended Clay district. On motion of Mr. McGrogor it was decided to abandon the former practice of reading at each day's session the minutes of the previous day. This saved a good deal of time. The most interesting development yesterday was the discovery in the sealed package of ballots from precinct one, of Clay, of a sealed envelope. Clerk Mitchell, of the circuit court, was sont for, and the envelope opened in his presence. It was found to contain nothing but affidavits of voters who were not registered or whoso votes had beenchallenuod. The whole bunch was turned oyer to Clerk Mitchell. This is a new way to ignore the law. It was thought before thisenvclopo was found that every possible way to make a mistake had been shown from one of the precincts, but this was a revelation. The law explicitly requires the envelopes containing tho affidavits to bo returned by the oiection oilicers to tho clerk of tho circuit court, und by him presented to the next grand jury. Tho grand jury has already adjourned. Most of the ballots counted and objected 10 yesterday forenoon wore counted for Republican candidate". The result of the morning's work was a gain of two for Smith and two for O'Kane, so that O'Kane's apparent majority of ten was not atlectod. Moffat gained one and Franzheim three. At 1:30 p. m. the board again got to work, the first precinct taken up being precinct 8 of Madison district Several yellow ballots were found in this bog. with one white one of a kind involved in mandamus No. L These wero reserved for future action, and tho bag temporarily resealod. Smith here lost two and O'Kane three, a net loss of one for the latter. Precinct 7 of the same district was then taken up and counted. There was not a change of a single voto in it. The members occasionally relieve the monotony of calling names and echoing figures from the tally clerks by comments on tho tickets. For instance. Dr. Bates reads a prohibition ticket till tho last legislative candidate's name is reached. Then: "Look out?Wilson. Look out again ?Franzheim. Not much prohibition about that!" Another member?"iyell, I should smile." Precinct 6 of Madison district was finished as the clock struck four. It was an uuusually large precinct, having almost 300 votes. The entire Republican ticket lost one voto and O'Kane lost one. Precinct 5 occupied just fortv minutes. It was only "temporarily" counted, as in tho poekago wero found some white ballots ot the sarno kind as covered by the first mandamus. None of the four tickets was scratched, but nameB were marked out on some and other names written in. Action on these was deferred. The count came out, however, without tho chango of a fignro from the original figures of tho election officers, so that evidently the commissioners had counted strictly in accordance with tho law, and rejected all ballots on which no tickot was scratched. In precinct four a ticket was found with "John McLure" written in a bold hand on the back of it, presumably written by tho Captain. It was counted for all tho Republican candidates, and Mr. Iiussoll excepted for all the Democratic candidatos. This recalls a funny thing in one procinct of Union district. Tho same man's name was written on tho backs ot two tickets. It is explained that his vote was under discussion, and tho poll clerk absent-mindedly wroto the name. The last ballot found in precinct four was a Republican vote with everything below tho oloctors scratched off and the Democrats names written in. uwine to the lack of apace to write the electors' names this was the only way a Democrat could vote for Harrison. The Republican ticket all lost ono, except Smith. O'Kane gained one, as did also Franzheim. Although it was alroadv nearly halfpast Ave, precinct three was tacklcd. It had but about ninety votes, and theso were run over in about seventeen minutes. Thero was no change whatever in it Having a fit of industry on, the board decided to hold a night session, and took a recess till 7 p. m. in tho evening precinct 2 was taken up. This was the'precinct which voted at tho chemical engine house. A ticket nn wltirh thorp WA* not ft ficrntoh on tho People's party column was counted ns a straight Democrat ticket, and excoption taken* Eleven other exceptions wero filed. One vote ench was gained by the ontiro Democratic and Republican ticket. There was one "first mandamus" ballot in the pack, and it was therefore only temporarily rosealed. Precinct one, of Madixon, the 3Iarket house precinct, was called for. It was linishod at 0:15, and this made 2,100 ballots counted yestorday. O'Kane mado a net gain of one, which gave him twelve apparent majority. Franzlieim j:ot 47 Republican votes in Madison district. Tho board adjournod till 9:30 this forenoon. Yeaterdav President Gruae called two votos for 0 Kane, which, when their attention was called to them, every other member voted not to allow him. The two tallies wore orderod erased. Mr. McGregor said when one voto was countod that if ho were a candidate on that ticket ho would not submit to the methods emplovod, ho would stop such hiuh handed proceedings in somo way. ?. G. Smith was called to a directors' meeting 01 ouuui, 1 oner iv ua, 01 which ho is president, and Mr. Hugus appeared in his place during tho recount yesterday. Bcforo tho counting commencod yesterday tho board held a brief business session. Prosecuting Attorney Howard informed tho mombera that he could not take care of the board's interests in the mandamus orocoeding, as he was very busy in tho criminal court. Ho was authorized to emnloy othor counsel if it became necessarv. Later he, and Mr. Ilubbard, representing Mr. Smith, appeared beforo Judge Campboll, and by agreement the argument on mandamus No. 2 was allowed to so over informally until Saturday, when No. 1 is also to be beard. TOM BENNETT ALONE la the Kica for City h?rg'?iit-B?pub'.ICM Committed Meals. A mooting of tho city Republican committee was held yesterday afternoon at tho oflico of S. O. Boyce, at which tho candidates at the coming city election were present Tho most interesting outcome of the meeting was the ollicial announcoment that JohnC. Devine had formally withdrawn from tho contest for tho "nomination for city sergeant, in favor of ex-Chief Thomas D. Bennett. This 1 onvps Dennett with no opponont for the nomination. Several new names were montioncd for mayor, among them C. E. Irwin, C. D. Thompson, Capt C. J. Iiawling and Harry Houscr. Whothor any of thoao would make tho race was not officially known. Charles F. Schnltze was tho only candidate for city clcrk present, and is the only ono mentioned. Ho will in all probability get tho nomination, and that ho will make a lively fight for election, nobody who knows him need be assured. The committee will meet again Saturday night. GIDDY 31 AY DAVENPORT And her loo Gay mIiuw McoIr with Trouble ngniu over the llivrr. "No show to-night The management of the Opora Iiouso will not allow the company to play." This appeared on tho bulletin board in front of One's drug store, at Martin's Ferry, yesterday morning, and referred to the May Davenport Burlesque Company which was to havo appeared at tho Martin's Ferry Opora iiouso last night. Messrs. C. W. Swartz and Charles Kuckuck, of tho Opera Houso, wont to Barnesvillo 011 Wednesday evening to see the show there that night and satisfy themselves as to tlia clhraeier of tho entertainment, they having heard that tho girls wero quite gay ami tho performance unclean. These gentlemen saw tho ahow and cancelled tho engagement for Martin's Ferry immediately afterward. They returned yesterday morning and said tho company wan no good und tho show was not fit for the houBCUTho company, numborinc about ton poople, followed, and the management insisted on playing, but the opera house people wouldn't have it that way. May and her manager did a great amount of kicking, threatened to sue the opera house management and so on, but talk was all there was of it. Tho giddy May, who is a large woman with dark nair and eyes, long tongue, Sainted cheeks and strictly business. unted up the mayor, told hor tale of woo to him, got a liconse, rented tho Miennerchor hall and hold tho boards thore last night with hor six females, including Laura Humphreys, who was iound in a cigar factory at Barnesville. In addition to tho girls, all of whom havo good forms and are fair lookers and high kickers, threo aro six men. One of tho girls is a contortionist and her mother travels with the company. Miss Davenport and three of her girls rode around in a hack during tho afternoon diatribnting suggestive hand bills advertising tlie buow ana naving lota of fun. The Voodoo." Managors Frank W. Sanger and Gus Botlincr, the proprietors of "The Voodoo; or A Lucky Charm." which will be at the Opera House next Tuesday, have moro plot in this new comedy than most any of its kind on the stage today. There are a number of very tunny situations and incidents, and the dialogue is sparkling, bright and fre?h. Tho action is based upon the desire of a superstitious woman to obtain a Voodoo, known as a lucky charm, which shall enable her to become suddenly wealthy. Tho charm in this instance, which she obtains from a Voodoo womaft\ whom she has applied to for it, is to obtain seven hairs plucked from tho beard of a man possessing auburn whiskers, affixing them in clarified wax, and attach with a red soal to a lottery ticket, which will then draw tho capital prize. The man possessing those distinct facial peculiarities is found in one Michael McMahon (Thomas E. Murray) and an amusing chase at onco ensues, McMahon trvlnsr to keen out of tho woman's way and ehe on the still hunt to pluck the desired hairs. Around this hinges the story of tho piece. The author, F. S. Gibhs, is credited with buildin? an extremely funny musical comedy. Scats go on sale Saturday. "N?w Mexico" ni lh- Grand. The Grand was crowded last night, Theresa Newcomb in her great play called "Now Mexico" beiug the attraction. Miss Newcomb has a line company, and made a good impression.
