summoned Sheriff naker to tho Jury room.
Ho responded and reported to Judge Horn
don that tho Jury was ready to come Into
court. Thero was great Bllence as the
Jury filed Into tho court room, but there
was no demonstration when circuit uiorK
Ford finished reading the verdict, which
read: "Wo, the Jury, find the defendant
not guilty."
As tho words were road the crowd , arose
and sent up a wild cheer. Colonel Colson,
tho defendant, was standing near the wit
ness chair. The crowd took no notice of tho
court officers, who pounded vigorously for
order, but piled over the railings, surround
ing Colson, nnd Inolsted on shaking hands
with him. They gave an ovation to the
Jury and Colonel James Andrew Scott, Col
son's chief counsel. Tho cheering kept up
till Colson left tho court room and as he
did so. It was taken up by tho Beckham
soldiers In front of tho court house, to which
tho colonel returned a salute.
Tho tragody, which renulted In tho crime
for which Colson was tried, occurred Jan
uary 16. In a duel with Lieutenant Kthel
bert K. Scott In tho lobby of tho Capitol
hotel, crowded at tho Umo by peoplo at
tracted here from over the state by the po
litical contests, Colpon killed his antagonist,
Scott, nnd Luther W. Demaree and Charles
Julian, bystanders, nnd wounded Captain
J. K, Ooldon, who accompanied Scott and
whom Colson's fricnd charge with having
taken part In the battle. Iloth Scott and
Colson emptied their pIstolB, fifteen or
twenty shots being fired In all. Scott had
soven bullets In his body. Colson was
wounded In tho arm. Tho weight of the
evidence was thnt ho received thl wound
early In the light and that Scott fired bo
foro Colson aroso from his chair.
Tho prosecution, after tho Instructions of
Judge Cantrlll, today virtually abandoned
tho charge of murder and endeavored to
got a conviction for manslaughter on tho
theory that Scott was killed after ho had
retreated and in good fultJi withdrawn from
the fight.
Colonel Colson was tried on tho Indictment
charging him with tho murdor of Scott.
While tho Indictment for killing Deanareo
has not been disposed of it will bo dls-
I missed, In vlow of tho falluro of a convlc-
Ition In any degree for tho killing of tho
principal. Tho Indictment will be filed
nwny on motion of thei attorney for tho
J commonwealth on Monday.
Colonel Colson Is entertaining a party of
friends tonight. He will leavo tomorrow
night for his homo nt MIddloboro.

It Is a far cry from Shylock, the Jow, to
Mnthla3, tho burgomaster; but tho versa
tility of Sir Henry Irving was able to span
the distance, nnd his Interpretation of tho
onu was as meritorious as tho other. To
dwell upon last night's production of "Tho
Dells" would bo to reitcrato much of what
was said yesterday of tho perfection of tho
great master's art an art of such con
summate perfection thnt to try and Improve
upon it wero like an attempt "to gild re
fined gold or paint tho lily."
While It Is truo that "Tho Hells," as
measured by tho canons of dramatic con
struction, falls far short of being an ldenl
composition, It Is also truo that, in the
rolo of Mathlas, It presents opportunities
that only a great nctor can compass. Re
morse Is tho dominant theme, and tho
principal character is carried along on Its
ever-swelling wave, until at last tho terri
ble strain becomes too great to be borno
and death brings relief from tho stings of
1 conscience. It does not matter that tho
1 dream sccno In tho last net contravenes
tho laws of hypnotic suggestion in every
particular, and that tho happenings there
. sot down could novcr havo really occurred,
j Tho terrlbleness of It all was sulllelent to
' palsy tho critical faculty, nnd so strongly
and weirdly drawn that no ono In all tho
vnst nudienco dreamed that an nbsurdlty
was being enacted upon tho stago beforo
them.
Of Mr. Irvlng's Matlilan, only words of
wnrmest commendation can ho written. It
wns characterized by a virility nnd finish
to which probably no other Engllsh-speak-!
ing nctor could nttaln, and tho nctlon was
in tno nature oi an ever increasing crtfl
condo that found its culmination in tho
death of tho man who had been tempted
above, what ho was ablo to hear. Tho great
in fact, tho only fault with Mr. Irvlng's
work Is that ho not Infrequently lowers
his tones so that It Is Impossible, for those
1 Bitting far from tho stago to hear what ho
Is saying. In dramas llko "Tho Merchant
of Venice," whero ovcryono Is familiar
I with tho lines, this does not matter so
i much: but In "The Hells" It must havo
detracted not a llttlo from tho enjoyment
of tho play.
It Is hardly necessary to say that tho sup
port wns adequate. Especially worthy of
commendation was tho Annette of MIjs Ilo-
atrlco Irwin, tho Catberln of Miss Maud
Gibson and the Walter and llnnc of Messrs.
Charles Dodsworth and Clifford Hrown, re
, spcctlvcly.
I Taken nil In nil, it may bo said that the
engagement of Mr. Irving nnd Miss Terry
was an ovent in the dramatic history of the
j city which will not bo forgotten. It is not
likely that either ho or Miss Terry will ever
bo seen In tho city again, anil tho theater
