F. Augustus Heinze Is Liberated By the Jury Hearing Conspiracy Case Last Night

His Brother Created a Lively Scene in Court Room-Called A ttorney a Liar. New York, May 13 . Augustus Heinze walked out of the criminal branch of the United States circuit court at 10 o'clock last night a free man. Twenty minutes before the jury had declared that he had not as president of the Mercantile National bank overcertified $500,000 in checks for his brother's brokerage firm, nor had he misapplied the money to further any conspiracy to exploit United States Copper. Thus failed ingloriously the federal government's attempt to hold Heinze responsible for financiering during the panic of three years ago, alleged to be fly w TVfi aMMVM in violation of the national banking laws. John B. Stanchfield defended the young millionaire; Henry B. Wise, United States attorney for this district, fought to convict him. Mr. Stanchfield summed up for the defense yesterday morning and Mr. Wise denounced the defendant for three hours and thirtyfive minutes yesterday afternoon. Heinze issued this statement after his acquittaU 'T am naturally pleased with the verdict but not . atfl-urprised.' The thing I most regret is the long delay in bringing the case to trial. I have been ready for trial every- day since the indictment was returned two years and a half ago. This delay has cost me between $4,000,000 and $r,000,000. "Possibly some persons who were very anxious to see me convicted will be as well satisfied with this as though I had been found guilty for the ruination of my credit seems to have been one of the objects most viciously aimed at. Event at Oakland. "However, as has been brought out in the evidence, I . still have some of the best copper properties in the world and I now intend to devote my whole attention to them, which I have not been able to do for two years and a half.. I appreciate the loyalty of my friends who have stuck to me through it all, and regret exceedingly the temporary loss which they have suffered in the depreciation in the price of the securities in which I have been interested." - - The Heinze trial was not spectacular There was too much technical testimony for the lay mind; too many intricate financial transactions which were cryptic and almost impossible to follow. Heinze himself did not go on the stand but was t content to watch his lawyers obliterate count after count in the indictments until the charges narrowed down to the transactions of October 14, 1907, involving a loan of $500,000. and this loan his attorneys convinced the jury was amply secured. Called Him a Liar. Arthur P. Heinze, a brother of the defendant, called Mr. ; Wise a liar in court yesterday afternoon, thereby furnishing the only real spectacular incident of the trial. For his remark he was promptly ejected from the court room, his tense, white face showing his anger and emotion. His Wife who also had been an interested auditor followed him. ; .

HE TOOK AFFINITY TO SHOWrTHOUBLE Mrs. Roosa Charges Mrs. Tinney Ray Matthews " Repulsed With Oaths."7 MOTHER-IN-LAW ENTERS AND PLAYS THE PART OF PEACEMAKER BUT MRS. MATTHEWS IS PINCHED FOR PROVOKE: MAN FOR DESERTION. : When Mrs. Frank Roosa met her husband ' at the show grounds yesterday afternoon in company with Mrs. Tinney Ray Matthews it was apparent that trouble was brewing. And when she tried to claim ' her spouse, Mrs. Matthews opened up on her with a volley of oaths that tended to change the atmospheric conditions in that immediate locality for the time being. Mrs. Roosa didn't propose to have this sort of English flung at her without resenting it and started after her aggressor with blood in her eye' Fortunately however, the attack was postponed by the interference of the . woman's mother-in-law, who jumped in between the couple just as the blows were about to be unloosened. 1 ; Mrs. Matthews was arrested at the request of Mrs. Roosa and a charge of provoke was placed against her. In the city court this morning she was found guilty-and assessed a fine of $5 and costs by Mayor Zimmerman. The fine was paid.

The letter, as printed in advertisement form in the Alabama paper, is in part as follows: "It is suggested that as congress will probably at an early date make an examination of administration of forestry service, you might with propriety secure such affidavits of character referred to in your editorial and submit them to the committee having charge of this Investigation, of which the Hon. Knute Nelson, United States senator, will probably be chairman : V;-' .; yt, y :;: . This .was. before the appointment of the committee and before the resolution was introduced asking for an investigation.

Newell and Davis, had been driven into a position of antagonism to Ballinger because of his constant onslaughts on the policy of conservation. In replay Bailincer nroduced a lone list of grievances against Pinchot which he referred to as "aevtivities in an attempt to besmirch his character. and drive him from office and ruin bis ' career as a public officer.
