The jury signified to Judge linker through a bull It that It was ready to report. A small audi ence of fifty attorneyh and Interested parties had heard the news, and were waiting when the twelve men Hied In. The foreman announced that the ver dict was not guilty. The judge had evidently been expecting another ver dict nnd was openly disappointed. "It is Impossible for me to under stand," he said, "how twelve Intelli gent men could have agreed upon such u verdict after listening to the testi mony. The defendant could not have chosen more wisely if he had been se lecting his own representatives and the community could not have made a more unfortuuute selection. This jury is discharged without the compli ments of the court." Callahan's attorneys were not pre sent, and the defendant expressed a desire to thank the jurors In his own behalf. This privilege the court re fused to permit. He said the jury diil not deserve any thanks. Two other counts still elst against Callahan, and he was at once re-arrested under these.

Governor Dietrich exercised the power bestowed upon him as the chief executive to give several men, who hive come tindur the ban of the law, lighter sentences thnn were Imposed und to grant tine pardon. He commut ed the sentence of F. L. Dlnsuiore. sentenced to death for the murder of his wife and of Fred Lane at Odessa, to Imprisonment for life. He pnrdoncd ex-City Treasurer Henry llolln of Oma ha and commuted the sentence of Nicholas Fox, sentenced for life from Omaha for wife minder, to n sentence of fifteen years. Governor Dietrich said that he was moved to commute the death penalty to life Imprisonment because on Inves tigation Jie found that Dlnsmorc had been convicted on circumstantial evi dence. While the evidence of Mrs. Lane was not circumstantial, yet It was much less satisfactory. Said the governor, "I do not believe In hanging a mau on the testimony of a woman such as Mrs. Lane pictured herself to be. Especially In view of the fact that she first testified under oath at the coroner's inquest that she saw her husband hhoot himself anil afterwards just as emphatically and certainly swore that Dinsiuore shot him. Some thing induced her to change her testi mony. What It was I do not know. "The fact that no complaint was filed against her charging her with even be ing an accessory to the crime by the county attorney who prosecuted Dins- more, although the erlme was com mitted In IHti'J, and said county attor ney waB In office up to January 3, 1001, suggests with great force the sus picion that her testimony was pur chased by a promise of immunity. I cannot consent to see n man hung on such testimony. Resides that, the. trial judge who sentenced Dlnsmore to hang joined many others in other rea sons why I should commute the sen tence." llolln Ket Free. Another act of the governor wns to set free Henry llolln, who was con victed of embezzling 8103,000 of the money of the city of Omaha while city treasurer, llolln Is a man now greatly aged from the trouble he hns suffered. He was sentenced to Im prisonment for nineteen years by Judge lltikcr of Omaha, and the judge addf with others u recommendation that he be released. Many petitions from Omaha were sent to the executive ofllce in llollu's behalf. His friends who hear of the pardon in the after noon said that he had been more sin ned against than sinning and expressed themselves as pleased. When seen in Omaha after hlsarrival there, Mr. llolln said: "I haven't any plans for the future as yet," "and won't have until I've had a talk with my wife and brothers. Every thing 1 had is gone and It's Impossible for me to set myself up in business, but 1 am in hopes my brothers may be able to advance me something. I just want enough to get into some small business. Something in the retail grocery line would suit me first rate." The action of Governor Dietrich In commuting the sentence of Nicholas Fox was caused through efforts of Lincoln firemen who took an interest In his case because of the assistance he rendered during the penitentlnry fire. Fox was the only prisoner who turned in and helped to quench the llames. l'lenlileittlnt flirty Ntnrtn On the n)ni AeniM the Country.

The hearty greetings extended to him along the route testllled how completely he had captured the hearts of thu people of Dixie. Confederate veterans nt all the stopping places were among the presi dent's most enthusiastic auditors, and that ho was Impressed with their marks of love and esteem was evident, by the tone of his speeches at the dif ferent stopping places.
