QUAY HAS TRIUMPHED! Acquitted by the Jury and Appointed Senator by Governor Stone. WILD SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM Congratulations Followed by Swift Action on. the Part of the State’s Chief Executive —, to Restore Quay to the Senate of the United States. PHILADELPHIA, April 21.—The Quay conspiracy | trial ended this morning by a verdict of acquittal from the jury. The court room was crowded when the ver- | dict was rendered and pandemonium broke loose when | the foreman of the jury announced the finding of not} guilty. The spectators, disregarding judge, jury and | bailiffs, cheered wildly and then made a concerted rush} poine, ts knocked on the head by the statement of the Navy department upon Senator Quay, overwhelming him with congratu-| lations. Such a scene was never before witnessed in a) staid Pennsylvania court of justice. finally succeeded in restoring order and Quay left the| room, surrounded by admiring friends. It is understood that the jurors stood eleven to ba for acquittal from the first ballot. Quay refused to be interviewed on the result. The state’s attorney, Roth- ermel, also refused to make any statement regarding the other charges pending against Quay which have not! been tried, but it is believed that they will be permitted | to go by default. At noon Governor Stone telegraphed to Quay from| Harrisburg, appointing him senator from Pennsylvania, | the appdinttrent to hold good until the next session of! the legislature. There is a feeling of consternation among the! coterie of Quay men who deserted his standard in the| legislature on the last day and gave their votes to Jones. They realize that the triumph of Quay means plenty of | trouble for them in the near future as the Pennsylvania senator has the trait of never forgetting nor forgiving |" an injury. | oj Beemer ee of | District Attorney Rothermel, int making his closing argument yester- day in the Quay stated that the charge against the defend- ant was that of secret conspiracy, and it was hard to prove. ‘He claim- name had been written tn it tong after the other entries had been re led.
