Quinn Acquitted Of Violating the Ten- Hour Law. «JURY OUT FORTY MINUTES, Judge Moore's Charge Made It Evident that They Would Go Scot Free, TOLD NOT TO CONSIDER LAW. , Wee Jurymen Instructed to Be Guided by the Facts of Agreement. The jury in the trial of Pres!- @ent Benjamin Norton and Supt. Daniel J. Quinn, of the Atlantic Avenue Rail- road Company, who are charged with violating the Ten-Hour law, retired to @eliberate on @ verdict at 230 o'clock this afternoon. ‘The jury returned at 3.10 with a verdict of not guilty, They had deliberated just forty fn ‘putes, Assist at District Attorney Maguire @ald the ‘ther indictment against Nor- ton and Quinn would not be tried. ‘The indictment referred to was made @t the instance of James Dwyer, a con- @uctor, and covers practically the same Ground as the one just tried. As soon as the verdict was rendered President Norton and Supt. Quinn, with their counsel, left the court-room, They had nothing to say other than that the verdict was just what was an- ticipated. There was no demonstration of any kind, as the ex-railroad employees who ‘were in the court room had been in a measure prepared for the verdict, after having listened to Judge Moore's char; All day yesterday Assistant District- Attorney McGuire for the people, and Col, A, E, Lamb and ex-Judge 8. D. Merris for the accused, placed the fac in the case before the jury, When court closed last night the evidence was all in. From the rulings of Judge Moore dur- ing the day it was expected that Pre dent Norton and Supt. Quinn would win another victory “on” being ac- ujtted. ‘The complaining witness was eremiah Desmond, formerly a conduc- tor on the Fifth avenue line of the At- lantic Avenue Railroad Company, who said that on January 12 last he was com- ed by the defendants to work eleven jours and nineteen minutes out of twelve consecutive hours, It was 10.15 o'clock before ex-Judge Morris began summing up in behalf of Bupt.

That agreement had not termi- ted when Desmond says unlawful bor was exacted of him. “The agreement between the men and the Company, made in 189, continued {nto 1895, untii the men went out.” Ex-Judge Morris made the point that Desmond had worked under the time fable he complains of for months prior 10. 12 without objection. “He charges that Norton and Quinn exacted extra labor on this particular y.

BASEBALL GROUNDS, RICHMOND, Va., March 2%.—The first and second teams of the New York Baseball Club Played an exhibition game here this af- ternoon, Although the weather was per- fect, the attendance was not nearly as large as was expected. This was due, according to a number of sporting men, to the efforts of Manager Woodall, of the Richmond team, It is understood that he is sore because of Manager Davis's refusal to play to a 2-cent ad- mission. No sooner had the team arrived than several rumore reacned them regarding Mr. Woodall, who kept pretty well out of sight. He knew before the Giants left New York that they would play to nothing less than « 50-cent admission.
