; PITTSFHOLD,; MASS;. January.. 2S.—Per-

case. Of that there can be no 'doubt, -as
there is growing a: public demand tliafan

!The apparent frankness "of Robert; Stew-.
art Fosbui-gh, and: of all ahe members of
tlie family, coupled' with the peculiar reti
cence of Chief-of-Police. Nicholson/ and
other otiicials, has created a sentiment in
favor of; the j young man, who to-day fur-_f ur-_

•for- manslaughter, .. which charges him
with responsibility for the death: of his
'/. ;.- ■;- '._•■. \ ; . ' : • ■ :j),\ ■ ." ; - , ;/
Chief-of-Police Nicholson, it was learn
ed: late this -.evening, wae the principal
witness before the grand Jury, and.it was
his testimony "which •■ influenced'- the-',/ jury,
in bringing an indictment. .
■He gave to the.iury photographs, of the.
interior of tlu? Fosburgh house, calling
attention to' certain angles. He also show
ed pictures of the porch, with marks on
one-of the pillars, which,- he said, were
made by the man who did the shooting.
The exact bearing of that was. made ap
parent to the jury, but has not been made
public.
Chief Nicholson convinced the jury that
the story of the burglars was told for a
purpose, and it is said he personally re
quested that a true bill be found. .. . -
. No, one has yet explained,- however, ■
why the indictment charges manslaughter
instead". of murder. Chief Nicholson inti
mated to the jury that the Fosburghs —
father..:and son— quarrelled; the .morning '
of August 20th; and that the shot which
caused the death of May L. Fosburgh was
fired by Robert Stewart Fosburgh at his
father. If the Chief : is right, and this
point is discussed in Plttsfield freely, it
is difficult to understand the indictment
for manslaughter.
Chief (Nicholson also asserts he has wit
nesses who will swear -that -Robert Fos
burgh had threatened his father with as
sault. This is denied by the young man.
He said to-night that he has not had a
crosa word with his father in many year's.
■ May L. Fosburgh was shot to death
early in. the. morning of August 20, 1900.
One full month elapsed before an inquest
was called. Her father,- mother, sister,
and brother each testified tliat- shewas
.murdered by".' burglars, who had been in
terrupted while they were ransacking the
house, in Tyler street, where the family
was living.
If : they told the truth Robert S. Fos
burgh is guiltless. But witnesses went
before the grand jury with testimony
which resulted in the indictment of. .the
young man. That testimony is false, or
there was no attempt made to rob the
Fosburgh home.

Tlie Duty onCufcan Tobacco.
WASHINGTON, January 29.— (Special.)
The decision of Secretary Root to remove
50 percent, of the export duty on tobacco
from Cuba, as announced, in a dispatch
.from Havana, was reached after a care
ful consideration of the question of. re
opening the controversy in regard to
changes in the Cuban tariff' schedule.
Some weeks ago Secretary Root said
that it had been determined .to wait until
the expiration- of the present: tariff before
making any changes. This would delay
the disposition of the question until the
end of March,, when the present tariff
expires. A petition received from Havana
praying for, relief went a long way toward
securing. the change in the tobacco sched
ule. It has been acknowledged that the
export tax affected the producers in Plnar
del Rio quite as much as the: manufac
turers in Havana. There have been nu
merous requests by- the planters for;th9
removal of . the export tax, but the cus
toms officers have held that it was neces
sary to secure sufficient revenue for the
expenses of the island, • - ' \
The dissatisfaction among the Cuban
planters over the imposition of this duty
led to enquiries by Secretary Root, which
.are. asid' to have culminated in an agree
ment to accept a 50 per 'cent. : reduction.
T.his : has now been, granted. IThe reduc
tion is. as follows:-. Cigarettes in boxes,'
from 90 to 45. cents per thousand; tobacco
■ cut from $3.75 to 'sl.B7 l-2 r per 100 kilo
grams; cigars,; from $1.35 to C2l-2 cents
per thousand. , In- the leaf .or filler- to
bacco as follows: Harvested in the Pro
vince of Santiago de Cuba and exported
througlv-the . Custom-House of Santiago,
Gibara, or- : Manzariillo, from §2.20t0 $110
per 100 kilos.- Other leaf or filler from

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
■ Richmond, -January. 28, 190 L
In your issue of yesterday, January
27th, it was stated (inadvertently, a<= k
suppose) ;that Chief Justice Marshall was
a "member" of Monumental church, in
which, a memorial plate. is* to be placed
on the pew he once occupied. As a mat
ter--of fact, ha never professed belief in
the dogma of the trinity, never joined
nor accepted communion in any church
holding that dogma, but all his long life
was like Franklin, Jefferson, John
Adams, and John Quincy Adams,
a professed Unitarian Christian, and
died in ; . that .faith. That - faith is
the New Testament teaching of one God,
the Heavenly Father, and of Jesus "as
thediyirie Son and Messiah of God
This faith-Chief JusticewMarshall pro
fessed-throughout his life and confessed
on his death-bed, refusing- the proffered
confirmation and communion because he
was a "Unitarian in opinion" and. could
not believe in. the Trinity nor" in the
Deity, but only in the divinity of Christ.
-During; his last illness his daughter
(see. Magruder/s Life of .Chief Justice
Marshall, page ,265). . said: The reason
why my fathers never communed was
that he .was ': a -Unitarian iriteopinlon •'*;.*
he told me he believed in the truths of
the Christian religion,' but not in the di
vinity.. of "Christ- * ;* ;■*. The last month
of his life": he read a ' book that enabled
him "; to' believe the : supreme divinity of
:Christ" .which : is •'" what • all Unitarian
Christians believe ■ , and Is quite differ
ent from the -Deity of Christ much more
from the dogma of the Trinity. -",
: Neither of the three bishops who, knew
him so/well-^Meade, Moore, or. White—
ever claimed that he was a believer in
either/ of their • dogmas, ■> nor has . any re
putable, biographer or historian affirmed
it.. Like. all ottier representative Unita
rian Christians, ~ Chief ; Justice Marshall
prized the Bible as given by ' inspiration
of God; revered Jesus as the divine Son
of God; and j devoutly attended whatever
church was^ most convenient- in the ab
sence of any. opportunity to attend v
church of his own Unitarian faith. Had
there been ~ such a - church -in Richmond,
no one canVdoubt that :he had the cour
age of his convictions, sufficiently to have
attended? it; faithfully/ 1 and to the end of
hiStdays. -Respectfully, •
