Commonwealth's Evidence Was Not Sufficient to Sustain the Choi go of Voluntary Manslaughter and ns rt Defendant Can Not Be Tried for Involuntary Manslaughter on an Indictment Charging Voluntary Manslaughter the Court Would Not Let the Case Go to the Jury Rule to Quash the Waylaiul Case. ttt the case of Frank Jansen, tho South Kin-union bai'hcr. charged with voluntary manslaughter, In having caused tho death of his little daugh ter, by setting fire to his house, the Jury yesterday returned n. verdict of not guilty by direct Inn of President Jutlare .Edwards. The evidence presented by tho com monwealth failed to disclose any In tent on Jensen's pnrt to commit crime, and as this Is essential in maintaining a charge of voluntary manslaughter, the court, with the acquiescence of District Attorney I-cwis, directed a verdict of not guilty. Tins evidence as .It stood, unchul lengctl, would disclose Involuntary manslaughter, but tho Supreme court having declared that voluntary and Involuntary manslaughter cannot be Joined In the ono count, the case had to fall. It may bo that n now indict ment, will 'bo drawn charging Junson with Involuntary manslaughter. The crime, ir it was such, for which Jansen was arraigned, occurred in the early morning of Jan. 2U last. Jansen, his wife and seven-year-old daughter, Florence, lived with his wife's mother, Mrs. Sanih McDonald, and sister, Miss Siadio McDonald. THREW A LAMP. Jansen came home from a. lnnpr-uer-atlo ball at t o'clock In tho morning and wan upbraided by his wife for staying out so late. He threw a light ed kerosene lamp which exploded, set lire to the house and burned to death Iuh little daughter who was asleep in the front up-stulrs bedroom. His wife and her sister were also badly burned, the wife having her face and arms scorched, and Miss McDonald sustaining burns to her feet, which make it necessary for her to still use crutches to aid her in walking. Mrs. McDonald says Jansen threw tho lamp at his wife. Jansen says ho accidentally knocked the globe from tho lamp when he was attempting to light a piece of paper to light his pipe, that when the lamp was left without a globe the flamo began to flare up as if the lamp was ahout to cxulodo, and fearing that it was going to ex plode, ho picked it up and aimed to throw it out of the window, bnt in stead of going through the window it hit the edge of tlio hallway door, -which was swung back against the window. It then exploded, and by the time he had extinguished the flames that en veloped his wife and sister-in-law it was impossible to get up stairs to res cue his daughter. Though not being compelled to testify in the case because of her marital relation to the defend ant, Mrs. Jansen corroborates her hus band's story In every detail. She now lives with him at his mother's home and yesterday snt by his side at the defendant's table. MRS. M'DONALD'S STORY. The wife's mother and sister are the principal witnesses against Jansen. Mrs. McDonald told a story that if oeueveti wouici be likely to convince the jury that he aimed the lump at his wife. She testified she heard Jansen anil his wife quarreling and stepped down stairs to seo what the trouble was. Slit passed by her married daughter who was standing on the second step of tho hallway stair and took a seat on tho opposite sldo of the dining room table from where Jansen sot. She didn't say a word to any one and no one said anything to her. After about, ton minutes, Jansen grabbed the globe from the lamp and threw it at his wife. The witness could not say whether or not It lilt her. Immediate ly Jansen picked up the lamp and threw that. According to the witnes. the lamp was thrown directly at Mrs. Jansen who was standing on tho sec ond step of the stairway. AVhclher or not It hit her, the witness cottl.t not say. Siio was positive, however, in hot opinion that Jansen threw tho limp at his wife to do her injury and that It would have killed her bad it sttuck her. Tho atlornoys for the defense did not make a. very vigorous effort to pre vent the wllues-s from giving these opinions, When on cross-cxaminuiiuii the wit ness was asked if sho had not tcstl lied dlffiirmil on this or that point at tho hearing before the mayor, she cither evaded the question by pleading bad memory or denied tho correctness of tho report of hep previous utter ances. She denied positively that she had said at the police court, heaiing that she did not see Jansen throw tho lamp at his wife or that she admitted to Jansen's sister and brother on the day following the tragedy that slu did not know whether or nol Frank threw the lamp n t his wife. AVUAT HE WOULD 1IAVK S.ID. Had tho defense btvn culled upon to put In testimony, Jansen would havo sworn thai. Mrs, McDonald was not in tho room when tlio lamp was thrown and did not ajipeai on the scene until after tho tire started, Miss Sadie McDonald, daughter of tho preceding witness, told that she heard tho fimrrellng down tttalrs but did not 001110 down until after the lamp was thrown. She begmdingly admitted that Jansen extinguished the Hitmen which had attacked her night diesH and put hiH overcoat around her. She also admitted t hut .km sun seemed to ibe grently altttehed to his little daughter, but according to Jior descrlp. tton of Ids conduct when they realized that the little one was In groat peril, he did not care much whether she wus rescued or not, Sho ehldod him for not going up tliu burning stairs to rescue his daughter, sho says, and told him If he would lot her have his shoes she would go 110. After It was seen that tho child could not bo saved she ugiiln ohldcd him and lie said "My God! My God! say nothing about tills. Keep blill." Patrolman Emil Schmitt told that when ho arrived at the lire Jansen wtis standing in front of the house with his arms folded, watching the blaze. The witness admitted that he wee not on speaking terms with Jan sen and that his family and the Jan sens had some trouble but "not to mount to anything." Fred Hoyor, a member ot the Nep tune Engine company, who. with the aid of a ladder got tho child's body out of the binning building, told that when ho came on the scene Jnnson mik in ft mil of the house wringing his hnnds and plleously crying for someone to save his rhlldi VBiimcT toturccTiiD.

George Smith, Anthony Savage and others, representing the St. Joseph's Lithuanian Catholic congregation of North Main avenue, Providence, insti tuted an equity suit yesterday to com pel Vincent Blazyo, AVilliam YuskI, Mike Bornotas. George Mitchell and Joseph Tamolinas to declare to a. trust which It is alleged they held for the plaintiff congregation in the contract for tho purchase of the church prop erty. The defendant committee took a deed for Ihe property in their own names and transferred It later, with the con sent of the congregation, to tho Provi dence Lithuanian congregation and lat er to the bishop of the diocese as trus tee. To make the tide clear it is nec essary, the plaintiffs claim, that tin; defendants should declare that they contracted for and bought the property as trustees of the church, and the committee has refused to do this. R. A. Zimmerman is attorney for the Plaintiffs. To "sli Wayland Ca&e. Major Everett Warren and Jo.seph O'Drien, attorneys for General Mana ger S. E. Wayland, of tin; Lacka wanna Telephone company, took a rule yesterday to compel the common wealth to show cause why the court should not ouash tho Indictment charging him with contempt of court. Mr. AVayland refused to answer cer tain .iieslIons In a. councilmanic brib ery he-irhm before Alderman Fuller, taking the ground that if ho made, answer ho would tend to Incriminate himself. This position, his- attorneys contend, was a proper one, and the In dictment I'galnsl him in ennsequenuo cannot stand. rive More Liquor Llceuses.
