This Week the Yoi.ns Army, in Pursuit of Ideas SOME FIFTY THOUSAND STRONG. Will Vigorously Attack The Entrenchments of Learning, and will Doubtless Win Many Victories Before June, '84. have resumed its normal rnih1 a htUe tRlk wiUl Gov- Johnson fvb said that he, of course, felt highly gratified at the result, though it was Dy no means a surprise to him. A conviction was out of the question, all the time, but a 3ury was Probable. After all, the state case was purely circumstantial, the evidence of the identifying witnesses was so much at variance, and there was nothing but trie statement of the informer Hiddell to put the defendant at the robbery.

There certainly was a reasonable doubt, and the jurv gave him the benefit of it. FRANK'S FUTURE. For the present Frank James will remain in the Gallatin Jail. He is to be tried at the court for the murder of West-ajl at Winston, being indicted as accessory with Jesse James. The same evidence that was adduced in the McMillan case is to be depended upon.

The defense say that they ill make a stronger fijlit the next time, now that they know the resources of the State. A conviction in the Westfall case is highly improbable. Then there is the Sheets murder, hich occurred in 1869. It has always been known that Jesse James was at that affair, but public opinion has been divided as to whether his companion was Jim Anderson or Frank James. The principal eye-witness of the murder is dead, and the next most important is in the far est.

It is doubtful whether the case will ever goto trial. There is an indictment waiting for Frank in Jackson County for participation in the Blue Cut robbery. The State is said to have a strong case, but this is offset by the declarations of Dick Liddell. that Frank was not in the affair. It is a fact that Frank James has insisted all along that he was not in this county at th time of either the Winston or the Blue Cut robberies, and that they were forced to make the defense without any assistance from him.

Should the prisoner escape conviction at Blue Cut, he. will then be tried for the Otterville train robbery in Cooper county, the Gad's Hill train robbery, the robbery of the treasurer's office of the Kansas City Exposition, and the Cape Girardeau bank, before his surrender to the Minnesota authorities, where there is a dubious case against him in the North field These cases ail stand alike. While no one entertains a moral doubt of the presence of Frank James at all these crimes, yet the methods of the gang were such that direct identification of any one of them is next to impossible. Now that Frank Jam has bem admitted see the witnesses and hear how they give their testimony to tell anything about it, and there is no telling at this distance what impression the testimony and witnesses left on the jury." James J. MeBrlde: "Under the circumstances and surroundings, a verdict of guilty was impossible, in my judgment." P.

Xi Jones: "It was a foregone conclusion under the circumstances." Judge Wm. C. Jones said: don't see how the verdict could be escaped. I have watched the case closely, and I believe the jury's finding was a good one. Tbe prosecution was superb the best I have ever known in the State.

I don't think the other cases against James will come to a trial." Mr. C. D. X. Campbell said: "I think the verdict is that of a partisan jury.

It will hurt the Slate in giving outsiders false opinions of us." Mr. Sam'l Sommerville said: "The verdict is wrong. Ijlooked for a conviction at the least a hung juryb ut I never expected they would acquit him." Citizen JbinK said: "It is a bad thing for the State. From the experience I have had, and I've traveled a good deal the last three years, people charge that there is but little immigration to this State because of the bandits here. They sav that we have good soi I.

good mines and all that, but that life and property are not safe here. I say that it is a very bad thing for the State." Mr. Newton Crane said: "It's horrible. The people of this State have followed that case closely, weighing the evidence on both sides so faithfully given by the newspapers, and they form a jury whose opinion shouid have weight-l'Fhey are inteliigentand unprejudiced, while the jury at Gallatin were chosen either because of their ignorance or their partisanship for the defendant. The result is a disgrace to the State.

1 was iu Chicago last night, and when the newsboys were crying out that James had been acquitted there was great indignation at the verdict. The general remark was, "Just like Mr. James Garland said "I heartily disapprove of the verdict. It makes tne angrv to think of it. I have lived here for twenty-five years, all I have in the world is iu Missouri and the anticipation of what the world will say of the people of the State is painful and to me.

Citizens and property-owners in those sections of the city which lie immediately north and south of Chouteau avenue are very reason-ablye xercised ju-t now over the manifestly foreshadowed intentions of the Iron Mountain Railway Company to become the sola proprietors of all the real estate situated on either side of Chouteau avenue from Fourth street to the Union Depot. The St Louis and San Francisco Company have also invested heavily in real estate in the same section of the city, their latest purchase being the Waiuvvright Brewery property on Ninth and Cerre streets, the buildings and ground formerly occupied by the Christian Brothers' College, adjoining the WainriKht property on tiie east and the old McDowell College, just south of the Christian Brothers' College, and in the same block. The 'Frisco Company will convert these properties into a mammoth freight depot. It is against the Iron Mountain Company, however, that the popular indignation of the Chouteau avenue district is especially hurled. The company now has a depot at Fourth street and Chouteau avenue for the accommodation of its local passenger traffic, but it has always sighed for direct communication with the Union Depot, and it proposes to obtain that communication by the purchase of all the property along the route from Fourth street to the Union Dpot The following is a list of the property already purchased: The Kendali-Bayle Cracker Factory in the northwest corner of Fourth and Ciiouteau avenue; the large building of the St.

Louis arehouse Compainy, on Fifth and Chouteau avenue the St. Louis Trunk Manufactory on Fifth and Papin streets: a vacant lot adjoining the trunk factory on the north, which belongs to tiie Walker heirs of New Yolk; the house and lot of Ernst Wagner on "the northeast corner of Sixth and Papin streets; six In WaUer's row on fcjixth street between Papin aud Gratiot streets. These purchases have been made nominally by D. K. Furguson, president, and R.

R. Hutchison, cashier, respectlu ly of the Mechanics' BanK, but the real purchaser was the Iron Mountain Company. Negotiations are pending for the purchase in tiie same interest of the property of Mr. Sylvester Chouteau and Mrs. Corinne C.

Dyer and that of Marquard Foster, all on the west side of Sixth street, near Chouteau avenue. A well-known firm of German real estate agents is said to have purchased for the railroad company the property oi Mrs. Louise Mavon, situated on the west side of Sixth street, near Gratiot, and the same firm is said to have made an offer to Mrs. Mavon for her three nouses, Nos. 605, bu7 and But Gratiot street.

The property between Sixth and Seventh streets, just north of Cerre, is also in process of negotiation. The estate firm of Lancaster Tiernan are said to be trying to secure the property on the west side of Seventh street and on the east side of Eighth streets, between Cerre and Gratiot streets, for the Iron Mountain Company, it is apparent from the foreg iinu statement when the Iron Mountain Company shall have purchased all the property mentioned it will have an almost unbroken line of ownership lrotn Fourth street Ninth street, and its entrance into the Union Depot is almost an accomplished fact. It is probable that having secured the right of wav. the company will build an elevated road from the Union Depot to its present depot at Fourth street. It is however, thnt this will not be done, but that the track will be laid on the street level and that a repetition of the Popiar street track nuisance wnl consequently ensue.

Ah indignation meeting to discuss all phases of the question is openly talked of. POLICEMEN'S STRIKE. Refusing to Watch Until Paid Court iotes Kst 1st. Louis. The jury in the case of Archie Hamilton vs.

Moulton Sons returned a verdict this morning in favor of Hamilton for $300. Hamilton was employed by Moulton as a carpenter on Elevator north of the bridge. Through the carelessness of another Hamilton was thrown from the elevator to the ground.a distance of forty sustaining permanent injuries. This is the third hearing cf the case, the first jury finding for Hamilton in the sum of $1,02.. and the second reulting in a hung jury.

Mr. Green, attorney for Mr. Hamilton, is of the opinion that the Elevator Company wiil ye willing to pay the amount without further trouble. Tiie members of the police force doing night duty refused to go on their bvats last night unless some arrangements were made by the Council to pay the salary, due for two months past. The Council did not meet, a quorum not attending, and ail the officers with two exceptions, returned home, leaving the city without any police protection.

This morning nearly all the day force resumed -work as usual, the officers refusing to join the strike. Several of the night officers were seen this morning and seemed disgusted with the strike already, being led to believe that the whole force would join the 'movement. The sti iking officers wiii return to-night and work tin Monday when they expect their pay will be forthcoming. Seveialofthe older officers have not been paid for March and April, the oid Council not even allowing their claims. Tiie remainder have not been paid sine?

Public Opinion on the Result What the People of Gallati Think Interviews With Various Citizens Frank James' Future. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch.

Gallatin, September one dreamed for a moment that the jury in the Frank Raines case would reach a verdict at all, and when, upon the assembling of court at 4 o'clock this afternoon, the Sheriff announced that the jury had agreed upon a verdict, th re was at first a feeling of deep surprise, and tlit-n word passed that the verdict must surely be a conviction for murder in the first or second degrees. The same large which had listened to Wallace's jirand effort of the morning returned to hear the outcome. The laOies, who have been in faithful attendance since the first day, occupied all the scats on the stasje. Sheriff Crozier brought the defendant in, followed by the faithful little wife. lie was as cold and calm as ever, and was, to appearances, the least concerned man of ail that throng.

The suspense of the little wife was painful All color had left her face, Her lips were closely pressed together, but her hands were en-guged in twisting a handkerchief into a rope. Charles P. Johnson, Col. Phillips, Mr. Rush and Mr.

Alexander took their usual seats. The State was alone represented by Mr. Hamilton, the Prosecuting Attorney of the county. A most painful silence prevailed as the jury filed in wiih the bailiffs, looking as wie and solemn as jurors always do wnen briuing in a verdict. When thev were seated Jude Goodman asked the foreman, Mr.

liicliardson, "Have you a verdict?" "We huve," said he. as he arose and handed it to the court. FKAXK JAMES TURNED HIS ETE8 upon tbe Judge and peered as though he might read his fate in The wife dropped her eyes to the floor and seemed to await the biow. "We, the jury, Mud the Prant James, not guilty as charged in the indictment," read the Judge, in a slow aud uisthict vTsice, The prisoner never changed expression. His wife's color returned and her eyes filled with tears." So great was the surprise, that for an iastant the thn ng seemed lobe dumb and paralyzed, 'then there was a demonstration in the audience forty or hfty people, perhaps, applauding.

Luther James of Kansas City threw his hat in the air. The Judge sternly checked the applause, and reprimanded the youusi man who had thrown Ins hat in the air. A weli-dreased lady, of middle-age. whom Mrs. James did not know, made way to her sine and s-izing the little lady about the waist, raised her in the air three times and KISSED HER ON THE FACE.

Frank James accepted the congratulations of his counsel in an unemotional manner and never spoke to his wife. Charles P. Johnson's face was wreathed in smiles. The I of Gallatin, the first shock over, be-Kn to discuss the verdict in no friendly tu'ies. riiie sheriff pounded vainly for order for several minutes.

During tne confusion, it was agreed by the counsel on both sides, that the indictments for the killing of Conductor West fall at Winston, and for the killing of Capt. isheets in 18o'y, would be laid vt-r until the October term. The jury was the i discharged and it is noticeable t. at they no time in leaving for their homes in the count', for it is a ir.ct that not one of the jurors live in She pretty little city of Gailatia. Fran James as returned his cell, where AN OVATION OCCURRED.

Old Mrs. baniueU was not iu the court-room en the verdict was returned, but the news was carried over to the little frame house across from the jail, vhere she was in wait-irisr. The news of the acquittal of tier son art'ected her strangely, for she ran out on the street, and, waving her one arm aonve her head, cried out with sarcastic emphasis as sue ran, "Hurrah for Wallace! Hurrah for ti bloodhound that has been whiopedl'1 Tnen she went ovtr to the jail and hugged her son. wept aiu laughed and behaved in an altogether hlsteiicU manner. iien your correspondent called at the jail there were ten or fifteen visitors.

The prisoner got heartily thed of being on exhibition like a museum curiiJMty white in the Idependence jail, and Shei ilf Crozier, since his incarceration at has re-tpecttd his feelings in that respect. Oa the t.ib.e in toe eouitoi'tablt: ced were fully a dozen bouquets, hent in after the verdict. A young lady friend of James was busy wriiiug telegrams to parties iu Missouri and Kentucky, aiu.our.cing the acquittal, which she signed "A me James." Frank was in a talkative mood, aud while I was there he freely discussed the incidents of the trial, and particularly the arguments.

His- counsel hud made tine peechs, and "the efforts of Phillins and Joansou deserve to live," said he; "and as for Wallace's speech tins morning, i doubt if it was ever excelled in a court oi justice. 1 had heard him once before in- a Kansas City court, and knew that he was a strong aker, but he eclipsed liiiaseif to-day. It is true that he twisted tiie evidence in some instances, and went, a iitae out of the record, but from his standpoint the speech was as fair as 'those of law vers "Vas me verdict a surprise to you?

Wiide this LITTLE LOVE FEAST v. as going on in the jail, quite a different ne being enacted on the streets, in front id every business store groups gather -d uiscussing the verdict. Among the men there was but one sentiment, Kud that was of deep exasperation. "If a l.aif-dozcn trains were to be I'-'bbed in Missouri to-aight," said Dr. black, a prominent drugiat and storekeeper, "and the were to escape lih their booty for all one the effect on the State's property uld not be so bad as this verdict wiii have ii'irtieid Davis.

As an earnest -f their appreciation of Mr. Wallace's el-f rt in behau of the State and law and order Messrs.

Opinions on the Verdict. A corrs of Post-Dispatch reporters were detailed this morning, to find out the public sentiment in regard to the acquittal of Frank James at Gallatin on yesterday. Prominent citizens of all classes were met and quizzed upon the subject, the especial object being to find out the feeling as to what the effect of the verdict would be HDon the interests of the State generally. The result of the depositions will be found iu the following interviews: ox 'change the subject was considerably spoken about, although many of those seen had no desire to figure in print, for the reason that they did not wish to criticise the nndingsjof a jury and a court of justice. Mr.

D. I. Grier, when asked a out the matter, said: "I think it is au outrage upon justice, and nothing else." "What will be the effect upon the interests of the State generally "The effect will be very bad, in my opinion. I have not rr-nd the. evidence, but my feeling is that Frank James and the gang of which he is a member have done the State of Missouri an amount of harm which is almost irreparable.

I thought that ike cases were clear enough against; him. The feeling which will go out on account of this acquittal is that Missouri-aus sympathize with train-robbing, murder and lawlessness in general. For the interests of the State, I would wish that the verdict had been the other way." Mr. J. C.

MacGinnitle said: "What do I think about the acquittal of Frank James, Esq. It was just what 1 expected, nothing more aud nothing less. 1 did uot iieve that they douid get a jury up in that part of the country to convict James. Weil, you see they did not. 1 hat is the hoi explanation." Mr.

J. C. Ewald, President of the Exchange, did not think that lie could enlighten anybody upon tiie subject, one way or the otiier, so he declined to "let go" of whatever information, inions. conclusions, or impressions he might have on the topic. Mt.

Joseph Pritchard said, in answer to the same question: "I have not read the evi-, dence in the case, so you will see that I do not know much about the merits of the trial or the acquittal. But, I tell vou one thing, there is no doubt in my mind that Fiani James was on the head set at that same little tea party at Winston." Mr. Michael McEnnis, when questioned, said: "1 suppose iie was acquitted in accordance witn the law and the evidence. It is not fair to presume otherwise. I cannot see that it will have any eltect upon the State one way or the other.

A never thought that there wasni ue lawlessness in Missouri generally, than there was iu Massachusetts, lor instance. Our people are law-abiding, and are no sympathizers, a a geneial ruie. with law-breakers. I do not tnink this acquittal will affect us much more than the result of any otiier trial." Mr. A.

O. Grubb said: "The way I look at the matter is this. 1 presume thai the case was not made out against Mr. James, and that therefore he was not convicted. We have no grounds, aud, no right to presume that the couri.was swayed by any feelings save those which" ft ouid grow out of the rule of law.

Consequently, I think that the acquittal was brought about, not by any love which the citizens of this State have for train robbers or train robbing, but because the charge made in the indictment against Frank James was not sustained, lie was not convicted, because the evidence was not strong enough to convict him. As I say. I think tiiat. under the circumstances, this is the fair view to take ot the subject." Mr. Geo.

KiuKskj' said he had raid little attention to the trial, and that consequently lie could not discuss th matter iuteiligentiy. Mr. Alex. Smith, when approaehea upon the matter, stuck his riirht tnuiub be.iirid his right ear, with fingers extended, and in this -r position he wagged ins band LacK and forward, peihaps a dozen times, at the same time he winked most knowingly with his left eye. According to the sign manual of the flour corner, this signal is the one used when a man wants to indicate that he is entirely too "smooth" to commit himself on subjects of national or international Importance.

Otncr members of the Exchange who were seen did not seem to care much about the verdict ooe way or the other. becretarv W. II. Williams of the Police Department: "I think that when a mau can be sent to the penitentiary for ten years a little indulgence in the manly art with hard gloves and this mau can get off after tunning the State for twenty years, it hard." Officer Williams was asked what he thought the Irisu detective thought about it, but did not know.
