(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
