Loving was acquitted of tho murder of Theodore Kates this evenins within one hour after the case was given into the hands of the jury. The "unwritten law" inviked in his behalf by Elizabeth Loving, daughter of the accused man. wiio recited the jstory of her shame on the Witney ptand. and pleaded before the jury vith fervid eloquence by his couespI triumphed once more and the slayer of young Theodore Estes was showered with congratulations as he walked from the court room a free man. .lyase Loving broke down and wept. After a day of oratory, in which former state senator W. P. Rarksdale, Walton Moore and John J. Lee made eloquent pleas for the defense and Wood Roul!on Halifax, closed for the prosecution the case was given over to the jury at 4:4H o'clock this afternoon. Points in Argument. The argument of the attorneys in the trial was begun Friday evening, after a day spent by the attorneys Jor both Bides in the preparation of instructions and a legal wrangle over them before the court. The follow-ill,; instructions prepared. by the prosecution touching on the "unwritten law" was stricken out by the court: "No man tinder the protection of the law lias a right to be the avenger of his own wrongs. If they be of a nature for which the laws of society give hlni an adequate remedy, ihither sho-ild ' lie resort: but be they of any nature whatsoever he has no right to avenge them accti.t in the manner prescribed by law. The unwritten law. by which Is meant the right of the citizen to become the avenger of his own wrongs in a manner not authorized by law or against the law, has no place in the criminal jurisprudence of Virginia '' Lawyer Harrron for the prosecution, sought to sh.v that judge Loving ki'ird Estes aftei '.'deliberation, premerf!tation and -.iron reflection." and tunt the defendant was a sane and responsible man it the t.me of the killiiij;, thus making the crime murder in th? first degree. Strode based his plea almost exclusively on the unwritten law, and dis cussed Judge living's struggles against the whisky habit, the buggy ride and the testimony of the insaniry experts. He appealed to each juror to place himself in the same position as Judge Loving. Attracted Wide Notice.

The ouconv 5.-' taken strongly rupporting the contention in favor of "unwritten law," and it will serve as a criterion in future cases .of a similar nature. Virginia has been deeply stirred by the proceedings. EIGHTEEN CANDIDATES IN RED MEN'S LODGE Hokendauqua Tribe Had Busy Session Saturday.

Three Thousand Persons Attend the Event Arranged for The Employes of the Richmond Division of the Road.

PLACE SELECTED WAS TOWN OF SOMERVILLE. The Only Disappointment of the Day Grew Out of a Rainfall That Prevented the Ball Game Athletic Events. About one mile south of tha quaint little town of Somerville, O., nestled neath tlie shady hills and along the Blow, turbid, but famous Sevenmile creek, three thousand Pennsylvania, Richmond division employes picnicked all day Saturday.. Save for the short rain which fell about 3 oclock in the afternoon and which drove the hundreds of happy people to the train, the day,-was an Ideal one. The rain was the one dark blot on the day's pleasure, but even this did not in the '.east detract from the enjoyment of the thousands of men, women and children. The crowd at Saturday's event was decidedly the largest ever attending a similar railroad gathering. Italian laborers, high officials, the daughters of section men, the daughters of the high salaried railroaders and the w ives of all mingled together to make the event an epoch in the social life of the employes of the Richmond division. Never before was the crowd so orderly. It was out for a good time, however, and the proper results were forthcoming. Two Special Trains. Saturday morning at 9:10 a special train bearing eleven coaches left Richmond for Somerville. The coaches were packed. At 12:30 still another special left for the picnic grounds, loaded mostly with men joining their wives and children who had left on the earlier train. Not one accident was (encountered by either train going. The train returning to this city Saturday evening was composed of exactly thirty-two coaches, the longest passenger train ever run over the Richmond division. Two powerful engines were required to hault it from Somerville. The train was jammed with a mass of humanity. The men serving on the committee performed their work well, and they received the congYatulations of all. Chelsea Haseltine, chairman of the general committee, who labored for the success of the picnic for several weeks, worked like a Trojan during the entire day, caring for the needs of others. He managed the entire picnic in professional manner and received commendation. The varied list of amusements pleased immensely. Dancing and card playing and the various athletic events proved attractions worthy to the fullextent and meaning of the word. One Disappointment. There was some disappointment. as the base ball game scheduled between the officemen and roadmen was not played, owing to the heavy rain which fell. The roadmen were thirst ing for the scalps of the officemen. a? the latter proceded to "trim" the former at the division picnic last year, and this year's game had been the source of conversation from last year to this. " The roadmen are saying that they would have "cleaned up" on the officemen. while the latter claim the same honor. The postponement and possibilities of the game which was to have been, promise to afford another year's food for thought and discussion. Of the athletic events the fat men's race caused considerable excitement, for when Trainmaster Porter and Conductor Meagan, both guaranteed to tip the beam at 200 pounds, entr such an event, interest is at once paramount. Neither man won the race. Porter took a severe chill in his feet just as the "busters started, bat Meagen remained game and the way in which he actually pawed the air while running, brought forth the remark that had he been running on I:is hands he would have won the race. As it was he finished second, a mass of overheated avoirdupois and good nature. Climbing Greased Pole. . Of the funny sights at the picnic, the greased pole event caused mirth a strong rival to that which reigned when Meagen made his fight for life. Two Italians entered the greased pole event, as two large dollars rested on top and they looked mighty good to Tony Rose and Angelo Corsi. Both men were dressed in their Sunday best, but this did not keep them from loking longingly at the money on top of the pole. Angelo. with a sunny Italian smile on his face, declared that he would not remove his coat, and the reason for this was apparent when a few seconds later he began to apply (Continued on Page FiTe.j

Hagerstown, Ind., June 2 The Light Inspection Car Company Is enlarging the manufacturing plant here preparatory to turning out gasoline engines for automobiles. An Indianapolis automobile concern has given an order for $80,000 worth of a new type of four-cylinder engines which this company has lately patented, the invention of C. N. Teeter. The engine lately was tested at Toledo, where it performed some wonderful feats and demonstrated its superiority over every other motor receiving the test. It will be necessary for the present facilities of the factory to be much enlarged and a larger force of expert mechanics will be required.. The enlargement of this model factory means much to Hagerstown and Wayne county. Every dwelling house in town is now occupied, and there are many inquiries for rooms.

NO DOUBT REMAINS AS TO THE VERDICT Railroad Commission Will Declare in Favor of the Freight Interchange. INFORMATION RELIABLE. PLACING OF THE CONNECTION WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW FREIGHT BUILDING. Information has been received which practically removes all particle of doubt as to the decision of the Indiana Railroad Commission will render concerning the remonstrance of the Pennsylvania railroad against a physical connection with the C., C. & I railroad in this city. It was learned Saturday on the most reliable information, that the commission will turn down the remonstrance and order that the connecton of the two roads at this point be made. On July 3, according to John F. Robbins, local attorney for the C, C. & L., John L Rupe for the Pennsylvania, and himself will present arguments respectively against and for the interchange of freight between the two roads In Richmond. These arguments probably will have but small effect on the members of the railroad commision as they saw that such a connection is a crying need in this city, when they visited here last week. It the connection is ordered it will be made on the site of the proposed attition to the local Pennsylvania freight house. Notwithstanding the statements to the contrary, made by local Pennsylvania officials, the r lacing of the connection on this site will not interfere with the building of the addition to the freight house.

FINES FOR TARDY COUNTIES

Fassett A. Cotton. state superintendent of Public. Instruction, sent out notices today to the county auditors of the state, saying that the per capita school distribution this" semi-annual apportionment to be made July 1, will be $1.7, and that each county will receive from the state $1.7- for every person between the age of six and twenty-one in that county. The total apportionment can not be made out exactly, according to Mr. Cotton, until the auditors of Green and Vigo counties, turn in their reports. Mr. Cotton said that fines would.. be imposed against these two auditors for their slowness in sending in the reports and thus delaying the apportionment. This semi-annual apportionment of $1.72 to each child is the largest rer capita apportionment known in the history of the office the largest, at least, since ISSt). The June apportionment last year was $l.t52, which itself was the largest ever made before. YOUNG ITALIAN IS IN SEARCH OF WIFE This Does Not Mean He Has Lost a Wife, But That He Wants a Wife. PUTS AD. IN THE PAPER. NAME OF APPLICANT FOR MATRIMONIAL HONORS IS H. C. LINT AND HE CLASSES HIMSELF AS INDUSTRIOUS. WANTED A WIFE WANTED A wife SO to 2.1 years old by industrious young mau 27 years old. Address H. C. Lint, Richmond, Ind. The above unusual and somewhat remarkable advertisement appeared In the classified "ad" columns of the Pal ladium Saturday afternoon. It is not a practical joke or a "fake." H. C. Lint wants a wife and he wants one quick. He is a young Italian of good appearance and most serious and business-like in his search for a "better half." Lint does not anticipate any trouble In finding one, either. He knows there are hundreds of young women who read- the Palladium daily, and he is of the opinion that there surely are several of these who are as anxious to secure a husband as he is to secure a wife. As soon as the letters from matrimonially inclined young women begin to pour into the Richmond postoffice, addressed to Lint, the young Italian will determine the qualifications of the various applicants and then make his selectionat least this is the plan ho has outlined. Friday evening. Lint, In company with his father, appeared at the Palladium office and handed the above advertisement to one of the men in the business office. It Is needless to say that the newspaper man was somewhat surprised. Father Takes a Hand. "We want to get him a wife," volunteered the old man in broken English. The advertising man is a joker, so he said with a laugh, "Does it make any difference what color she Is?" "No but she must , be young," gravely replied Lint, Sr. He then gave his son's age as 27 years, stated j that the young man had few Jf any acquaintances among the fair sex In this : city, so the plan of wooing through the Palladium had been decided on. Lint Sr., and Lint Jr., then left the office. This incident is what is known as a good "story" to a reporter, be he cub or veteran. Unfortunately the Lints chose to hand in their "want ad" to an advertising man, wno. as a class. are devoid of the sense of news. All of this Is a circular method of stating that the Lints escaped the Palladium office without being "pumped dry" of all the information concerning the quest of Lint,, Jr., for a wife. A FINDIHGJII MONDAY Sanity Commission Has Examined Harry Marshall. An inquest was held Saturday afternoon over Harry Marshall to determine his sanity. The board will make a report to the circuit court Monday. The inquest was held in the office of Justice L. C. Abbott. Young Marshall a week ago Saturday evening shot his father.

More reliable refutations of Harry Orchard's testimony were introduced In evidence today by the Haywood defense.

Friedman, during his employment at McPartland's elbow, made copies of hundred) of reports from operatives who were members of unions and ho gave details of the methods of the Pinkertons In Ingratiating themselves into the confidences of unions and getting official positions. In the afternoon Friedman's copie of the Pinkerton correspondence wero offered in evidence to prove that the mine owners and detectives were In conspiracy to destroy the miners' organizatlon by fixing acts of violence upon members and officers of the union.
