ENEMIES COMPLETELY ROUTED. j Collapse of One of tlio Greatest Con spiracies In tlic< History oft Ho Nation After n Ten Days' Session in the Courts of Philadelphia. (Si>c<-i:i 1 ('orrespondenee.) | Philadelphia, April 23. —Colonel Mat | (hew Stanley Quay has been complete j ly vindicated by a jury of his piers in j the trial growing out of a dastardly j conspiracy of his political enemies. ! Twelve American citizens, "good men | and true," have found a verdict of "not j miilty" in what will be memorable as j the moat celebrated case in court in j the political history of this country. I This closing chapter in the history »112 persecution and character assassina tion was marked by scenes such as have never been paralleled in and about a Philadelphia court room. The minute the verdict was announced it was pandemonium let loose. Men shouted and tossed their hats and surged about this silent but happy man. Women cried, waved their hand kerchiefs and tried to throw their arms about his neck. In the midst of it all Quay, dignified, silent, with face an imperturbable as ever, grasped hand.-; as they came and vainly tried to elbow his way to a place where he could be alone. He said but few words, but there was a softness in the tone of his voice as he repeatedly murmured "Thank you." He felt more than he said, for to him it was the flood tide of light after the hour of darkness. His triumph had come and, best of all, this man who has been hounded as few have been hounded before, saw and heard and felt that the people were with him. THE VERDICT RECEIVED. It was a few minutes before 11 o'clock on Friday last when the jury appeared in court and Crier Hart stepped forward and in cold, official ac cents said: "Gentlemen of the jury, are you agreed upon your verdict?" Foreman Hill, who is a blonde haired young man. nodded his head as he answered: "Yes, sir." THE VERDICT. "How say you? Do you find the de fendant guilty or not guilty?" "Not guilty," came the answer in a voice that could be heard all over the room." If the jurors answered to the next question, "And so say you all?" no one heard it.for the first "burst of a cheer," suppressed by the louder yells of "silence" from the tipstaves, drowned the words. Every one rose to his feet, and the yells of "silence" were followed by cries of "sit down," "sit down." Quay himself came near giving way. His jaw quivered an instant, his eyes grew moist, but he recovered himself as the big and burly Shapley grasped his hand, exexlaiming, "Let me con gratulate you, senator." Mr. Shields was pouring out his congratulations at the same time. Outside in the corridor there was no judge to be respected and no officer to quell the tumult, for they were all too busy cheering with the rest. He at last managed to edge his way to the cor ridor. Hut it was getting from the frying pan into the fire. It wasn't a crowd that was waiting for him. It was a mob drunk with joy, mad with en thusiasm. Cheer after cheer rent the air and hats flew up with the reckless ness of frenzy. The guards made no effort to quell the tumult. They were yelling and cheering with the rest. It took the senator nearly ten minutes to reach the corner where the elevators are located. He at last managed to get clear of the mob. ANOTHER OVATION. The news had already reached the first floor, and another howling, cheer ing mob was waiting for the senator, who began to show signs of fear for the first time in his life. It was the same thing on the street, only worse, and when he reached the corner of Broad and Chestnut streets the sena tor was in the center of a surging throng that must have numbered mop than a thousand persons. Crowds of women, who a moment before had been shopping, caught the infection and shouted and stamped and waved their handkerchiefs. Only by the nar rowest chance did the silent statesman escape from being Hobsonfzed then and there, for more than one excited woman tried to throw her arms about his neck. It was a grand testimonial to the American sense of fair play. At last, by a superhuman effort, the "old man" managed to tear his way through the people and with a run he gained the entrance to the Land Title building. Several women, better run ners than the others, were at his heels and were only prevented from getting In the elevator by the slamming of the door. The senator went direct to Lawyer Shapley's office, where he was met by his son, Richard R. Quay, and a num ber of his personal friends. The greet ing between father and son was affec tionate In the extreme. OFF FOR WASHINGTON. The senator was still disinclined to talk, but when some one excitedly de nounced Martin, Wanamaker and Gor don, he remarked with a smile: "Well, they made lots of trouble for me." A* soon as the excitement had died down Colonel Quay slipped down to the Wal ton, packed up, and with his sou Richard and Private Secretary Wright, took the first, train for Washington. At the Walton and at the depot the senator had to hold two more recep tions. Those that witnessed the scene at the station say it was almost with out parallel. The hero of the day was almost in danger of his life, and cheers still echoed in his ears as the train pulled out. Senator Quay had left town when the announcement of his appointment, as United States senator was wired from Harrisburg. The action of Gov ernor Stone only added fuel to the fire of enthusiasm, and the. plaudits for th? executive were as plentiful as were the tributes to Quay. A JUST VERDICT. Not even Senator Quay's worst enemy—if he be sane can gainsay the fact that the verdict was just. The odds were all against acquittal. The district attorney took every advantage of his pri\ilege to stand jurors aside, and he held the whip hand when the 12 men were selected. .Tudge Biddle also gave the prosecution the widest latitude and they presented all they had, which was—nothing. District Attorney .Rolhermel, al though he lost, the case, made his repu tation as a criminal lawyer. He was a match for the other side at every point. The only reason he lost was that he had no case to start with. Put during the entire trial Mr. Rolhermel was not only a great and Ingenuous attorney, but lie was a gentle man. The case v.;- a legacy left him by his predoce' or. It had been born during th" clo.' in ■ atronies of Graham, and conceived when lie first tasted the bitter cup of defeat. The trial itr f lf has been re markable in many ways. It was at the close of the tenth dav that the was submitted to the jury 11
