.Mrs. Meeker, who fainted In the

sprinting tor a telephone shouted,
"guilty,” is under the care of rela

her husband, she never dreamed of
a first degree verdict, hut rather
counted on a disagreement of the
Jurors.
Justice Goff, it is understood, has
gone to the country for a rest over
the week end.
One of the first places to. which
the news of the verdict was taken
was the West Side prison, where are
quarted the informers. Jack Rose.
Sam Scheeps. "Mridgle" Webber and
Harry Vnllon. The four apparently
expected n disagreement, however.-
for they were ail asleep with the ex

suspicious when told that a first de

remarked laconically:
"Mr. Whitman is a smart man.”

that whllo counsel for the inform
