2 SAINT PAUL MATTERS-: The Jury in the Martin Trial for Murder Find the Accused Man Not Guilty. Complete Programme of the Sports and : Pageants of the Coming Winter ~ , ; Carnival. A. Somewhat Sensational Case of Alleged Adultery--Chana;esln State Ofllces. • : Various Matters Told in a Line for " "Want of Space in Which to Elaborate. MARTI!* NOT GUILTY. . His Trial for the Murder of Bu chanan Moore Ended—An Inter eating Day in Court. J. D, Martin slept outside the jail last . night for the first time in nearly ten months, j his trial for the murder of Buck Moore at \ the stock yards having ended in acquittal ■ last evening. At 10:06 a. in. Judge Wil- i kin entered the court-room and opened ; court, the jury and lawyers having been ■waiting in their places for several minutes. | Judge Egan continued the summing up for the prosecution: "T c prisoner expected the jury," he said, j "to acquit him, when he himself did not deny his guilt when he had a chance here on the j stand, aud he dare not now deny his guilt." Judge Egun said the prosecutiou had proved that Martin had followed Moore to Minneapo lis, and then to the stock yards. He referred to his indifference and coolness at the Mer riain Park depot, and then the next morning said he knew Moore well. Why did he j not recognize him at the depot? ■ "Great heavens! Martin, Buchanan Moore's j blood rises up and cries out in plain > n.i aud- [ ible tones against you. and you dare no, deny | it," said l he judge. '•-Martin, you dare not, | in the face of heaven and before this court, ' deny the murder of Buchanan Moore." The | defendant himself hud convicted himself, and the chain was complete. The knife, over shoes, overalls, memorandum book and over coal were sh :wn to the jury by Judge Eiran. The counsel for the prosecution closed at 11:10, having occupied one hour and lour minutes of the forenoon session in his argu- j ment. FOR THE DEFENSE. Mr. Ryan began his argument on the part of the defense, at 11:15 o'clock. Mr. Ryan put some stress on the fact that the suite did not make sufficient provis on. allowing only £10 for the defense of a prisoner, claiming thnt he should be al lowed tho privilege of subpoenaing wirnesses, i to be paid for by tho state. He | said because this boy has not confesses j to the detectives his gui)t,;the state would j have you believe that he ought to be hung. i Mr. Ryan then introduced the diagram of the ! scene o>' the murder und surroundings and i explained that Martin would have to go '■ 36,000 feet from the time that he left the Davis house at 8:3 ; . until lie returned at 9:15 j p. in., claiming tl a Mai.ii did not have time to go mat distance, and could not go without being seen by the watchman. Mr. Ryan then tiaii the jurors examine the knife and overalls and bad Martin put on the over alls, saying, "I'll risk it all on the turn of I th'» die. Martin, put on those pants! ! They I will tit me. They fit him like the paper en the wall." Turning to Jud*. c Span, Mr. Ryan ] said, "that's the reason you would not cross- ! examine the witness." Then to the jury, ! "Great God, gentlemen, is not that evidence? ! This horn cide must have been com- J mitted by this man In fifteen minutes." Mr. Ryan then dwelt at length on the testi mony of the witness Seougale, whom he said the prosecution was relying upon to con vict the prisoner at the bar. They have traced him from the cradle to the grave and I have not been abla to Hud a single thing to i convict him of this great crime. Another re- j markable thing in the case is this, that the boy accounted for where he was all the time. from the time he left Burlington until ho was arrested. There was no preparation on the part of Martin to commit this crime. He called attention to the appearance and man ner of the witnesses produced by the defense to impeach Scougale. and said that there ■was not one solitary disreputable character among them. They were all lawyers, mer chants and farmers. Mr. Egan did not dare to impeach the testimony of Martin, even with trie perjured testimony of the Ecouudtel Scougale. A TILT BETWEEN COUNSEL. Mr. Ryan Why didn't you impeach him? Mr. Egan — We didn't Impeach you, but him. Mr. Ryan— l wish to God I was on trial. The Court — Mr. Ryan, proceed with your:, ajmunezrif . Mr. ilyart — 1 am willing to be interrupted by the gentleman. The brilliant prosecuting j attorney wants to pencil me in order to convict the boy. (To Mr. Euan) — Did 1 ever do you a wrong in my hie? Mr. Ejiiin — Address yourself to the jury. Mr. Hyan — 1 want to address myself to you, I too. You have got a chance and you have j got an opportunity to answer me right here | in this court if you see tit, but when you j made the onslaught on yonder innocent boy he couldn't answer back. He couldn't pro tect his little one yesterday when you told Mrs. Fanning to take it out of the court room and not bring ii back Mr. Evan You are a trickster for bringing the baby in here. Address your remarks to the jury. Mr. Evan— He has got the right to bring his child here. The Court— Well, gentlemen. get along with out tht-.<o interruptions. Mr. Ryan then proceeded with his argu- 1 ment, and ulludcd to the witness Scougal as a roaring devil when on the witness stand, and that some of the bystanders had observed' him attack a man iv the court room for hav ing appeared as a witness to impeach him and i hat Mr. Egan had caught him by the Bboulder to pull him away. Mr. Ryan then proceeded to comment upon the testimony of Officer Klein as to the • Character of the search for evidences of guilt upon the person of the defendant. Mr. Ryan claimed the reason the deceased wus not recognized by defendant at the Merriam Park Station was because of the blood upon the man's face and that he had supposed from the conversation hud with him the night be fore h it he was then in Dakota or on his way there, ».nd that the other men who so readily recognised the deceased had seen him but a few hours before and had had business deal ings with him. Mr. Ryan again called atten tion to the overalls, and claimed that they had been BMHB "WORN MORE THAN OVCE, and had been wa hid; that they had been evidently worn by some man who was bow egged, as was shown by being greasy down ;he side and not in front, as would be the .sase vith an ordinary person; that the but tonholes showed evidence of wear, and that It was evident that they did not fit the de- j fendant. He fitted the leg of the overalls to the overshoe, and claimed that no blood could ! have been deposited on the overshoe wearing j these overalls. He spoke then about Judge Wilkin's hat; be claimed that Detective O'Connor had testi- Jed that Judge Wilkin's hat was the hat of ',tae deceased, and that Officer Klein had do tected the mistake. That all these things raised the question of a reasonable doubt, j md that without the testimony of Scougale '< 4 t was impossible to make out a case. Mr. Hyjm concluded his address with the following remarks: "Gentlemen of the jury, you can retire to yonder room to make up your verdict. Do it fearteaalv, without fear 9r favor as 1 have tried to do my duty in a tumble way— but remember, gentlemen of the jury, just as sure as one of you writes the word 'truilty* on that ballot you write it iv blood to send yonder boy to the yard-arm. The man who will write guilty upon that ! ballot, writes it in letters of blood and makes i an orphan of the little child that you saw tottling here yesterday in the court room. I tell you, gentlemen of the jury, that I am through now with this case. I will leave it in your hands: I have no doubt what the result i may be. Would to God that this was summed up by abler counsel than I am or ever expect to be. But I thiuk 1 have done my duty; I rest the cas<* now in your hands. Thanking | you, gentlemen of the jury, for the attention i you have paid me, aud likewise the court's ; kind indulgence. I leave the case entirely with you. . . THE JURY CHARGED. In charging the jury Judge Wilkin gave {he usual definitions and the law In the case. He said the state had failed to show premeditation or any motive for the deed. The charge was brief, and the jury left the box at about 4 o'clock. It was announced that the court would sit again at 0 o'clock. At that time I all the parties were present and the jury i asked for the reading of the testimony of | Harburgh. who testified that Martin called ! at his place at 8:30 on the night of the I murder, and of Davis, who testified that Martin had washed his hands at his hotel j it 8:45 o'clock. This was read and the jury , retired for a ballot. After waiting half an : hour the sheriff announced that they had | pot arrived at a verdict and court adjourned \ until 8 o'clock. j At 8 o'clock last evening the Judge again '. took hi* place upon the bench and the attor- • neys were present, Mr. Sanborn represent- \ intr defendant. There was also qui:e Da group of spectators in the room. The jury ; had just returned : from supper, and Sheriff Bichter announced that a ballot was being taken. In a few moments he returned tnd spoke to the judge in an undertone, to which the judge replied that he would be found in the clerk's office, and putting an his coat went down stairs. After waiting until 8:25 Sheriff Richter again entered the courtroom, sent one deputy after the judge and another after the prisoner. When Martin entered the room he wore that hag gard look which he has shown for the past few days, and, in the few . minutes inter vening before the jury entered, 1 .RUBBED HIS CIII^ nervously and cast a searching look about the room. When the jury had taken their seats and had been polled by the clerk, in response to the question of whether they had agreed upon a verdict, M. C. Tutlle. foreman, replied in the affirmative n«t passed a paper to the clerk. It was hand&l to Judge Wilkin. who, after a glance at i:, passed it back to the clerk, and, in a stillness that was oppressive Mr. Armstrong read: "We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty," Not a muscle could be seen to move in Martin's face 4 which showed the same imperturbability as through out the trial. After five minutes of silence, in which the scratching of the clerk's yen recording the verdict could be distinctly heard, Mr. Sanborn moved that defendant be discharged. "Is there any other charge against him?" asked Judge Wilkin. * Judge Ejrnn arose and in a very hoarse voice replied: "There is no charge against him except for the murder of Buchanan Moore." "Is there any other indictment against him?" asked Judge Wilkin. "None," came the answer. "Then the prisoner will be discharged," came the order of the court. As the jury tiled out Martin shook hands with each one of them, but could say noth ing. He received numerous congratula tions from his friends, and when asked ! where he should spend the night, smiled for the first time and replied: "At Mrs. Farming's. She has stood by me well for ten months." He passed last night at her residence, on North street, where his little child is being tenderly cared for. THE CAKMV4I, SPORTS.

CHARGED WITH ADULTERY. Gustavus Luskin and Mrs. Eleanor Wilber Held to the (.rand Jury. Early yesterday morning Gustavus , Lus kin and Mrs. Eleanor Wilber were arrested, charged with adultery, on a warrant sworn out by Alonzo Wilber, the lady's husband. Arraigned before Judge Cory they asked a continuance, and were bound over to appear before t' i grand jury on Jan. 11 in Si, ooo each, .xlonzo Wilber is a fireman on the Milwaukee road in this city, and up to two months ago lived with his wife and two children, aged 10 and 5 years. at the house of his wife's father, 215 West Seventh street. About four months ago Luskins, a smooth appearing young clerk, engaged a room at the same house. In a short time an in timacy grew up between the young man and the good looking and vivacious little wife of Wilber, which the two suspected parties claim was purely platonic, but which is alleged by Wilber to have been criminal in its nature. Wilber worked nights, and frequently young LusKin would take Mrs. Wilber to parties or the opera house. Luskin says he used to ask \Y ilber if he had any objections to these courtesies, and Wilber did not mention any. But evi dently he treasured up a hard feeling in his mind. He grew suspicious, rebuked his wife, they quarreled, and about two months ago Wilber left the house of his father-in-law, taking with him the two children. Mrs. Wilbur made little objection to this and stayed right on with her father, as did Luskin, and they grew more fond of each other as time went by. Mr. Wilber offers as his principal witness to substantiate his charge of adultery the father of his wite. Luskin said to a Globe reporter yesterday: He is just doing this for revenue, and nothing else. He wants to make trouble for us. The old man can't swear that he ever caught us in bed together— neither can any body else. Late yesterday afternoon Luskin secured bondsmen, and his generous heait was sad as he saw his love taken to the county jail, unable to raise the necessary. THE NEW It EG I TIE. Invaders of the Capitol Secure the State spoils. The new regime went into effect at the capitol yesterday. J. K. Moore, of St. Peter, will now write editorials for the St. Peter Tribune in the chair lately occupied by Gen. S. P. Jennisen.whohas gone home to write for his local paper. William Aneell remains executive clerk. State Auditor Braden retains his old force of deputies and clerks, and Assistant Treas urer Theodore Sander will continue to do the figuring of state finances under Treas urer Joseph Bobleter. Attorney General Moses E. Clapp brought down an assistant from Fergus Falls, H. W. Child, an at torney of that city. Herman Stockenstiom, of St. Paul, who withdrew in the state con vention in favor of Secretary of State Hans Mattson, becomes assistant secretary, and Maj. Norton, of Minneapolis, takes the place occupied by Mr. Petren, who steps into a position in the People's bank. The office of clerk of the supreme court looks like the senate chamber at the last session of the senate, as the two familiar faces of Clerk Jones and his deputy. J. L. Helm. of Luverne, look up from the su preme court records and opinions. -. Gov. McGill's appointments will not be eiven out until to-day or to-morrow. It is determined that Charles Shandrew. • his deputy. is to be promoted to the insurance commissionership with W. M. Todd. of Kedwood. Falls, as his deputy,, and nobody denies that Oapt. Seeley, of Lake City, is to be adjutant general. H. G. Stordock. '<■ is said, is to become warden of the state penitentiary, and although the Jobbers' union, of St. Paul, has been trying to pre vail upon Gov. McGill to retain the present railroad commission, and a delega tion of fanners has been endeav oring to induce the governor to make State Lecturer Thomas Hodgson, of the Fanners' alliance one of the com missioners, there are those who say that Jim Austin and John L. Gibbs will consti tute two-thirds of the coming commission. Ex-Representative Charles Canning, of Heodruni, one of the live vice presidents of the Fanners' alliance, was talking with Commissioner Murdoek and Clerk Warner yesterday. "Gentlemen," he said, with his broad Scotch accent, ' "the Republican party has got too much on its hands; it's short of funds, and ifl hae to put its hands into the state treasury. Those fellows that went aroond makiuir speeches on the stump are going to get all the goovernor's appoint ments. There's nothing going till the farm eis." TO-DAY'S UKATHER.
