'l‘léeYClpse of the Famous Trial Was Its
islil’ost15ensational Feature—The Dis-
£33". trict Attorney’s Argument and
:3} the Charge of the J udge.
BUFFALO, March 21.——Much to the sur-
gprise of everybody, when the Robinson case
was called-‘»' today the defense, instead of
openingl,wfithargument and presenting a
formidable array of Witnesses, submitted
the‘pase without plea for mercy or evi-
denceof innocence, merely making a form-
at..;m,0tion§_foi'. dismissal, which was . ‘de-
nied. Accordingly the trial was brought
to ~an unexpectedly abrupt termination.
Nothing remained except for the prosecu-
tion to'is'um up and the judge to charge
the jury: This was comparatively short
work. ‘
District Attorney Kennefick closed the
case" for the prosecution with an earnest
unimpassioned address, his text being
“‘Murdcr will out. ”
~ Hotraced the movements of the Robin-
56$; step by step. and brought the mur-
dértotheir door by their own confessions.
“Gentlemen of the jury, you can have no
reasonable doubt that the defendants. or
one ~.of them. is guilty of this atrocious .
crime. Who is this Clarence Robinson?”
heasked.
71‘ He is better than you!” shrieked Sadie
Robinson, who up to this time had exhib-
CLARENCE AND SADIE ROBINSON.
lted no symptoms of hysteria, though she
had twisted nervously about in her chair
as the district attorney clinched argument
after argument.
Mr. Kennefick turned at this interrup-
tion and addressing the jury. but pointing
at the woman defendant, said. “She is an
adventuress. ” ” I am not an adventuress, ”
she screamed, and then, flinging herself
back in the chair, began to cry passionate-
l .
y The Prosecution’s Theory.
_ After the defendant was quieted the dis-
trict attorney resumed. ‘ He argued that
the fatal shot was fired by the woman
While Clarence was being held down by
,Gibbs. Yet because they went out with
.premeditation of committingafelony they
were guilty of 'murder in the first degree,
.and'it,wasnot necessary to show that pre-
meditation of murder . existed in their
,minds; further, Clarence was as guilty of
.murder in the first degree as Sadie, even
though he was not the one that fired the
fatal shot.
' Judge Hatch’s charge was very long and
circumstantial, occupying nearly two hours
in delivery. He reviewed the entire evi-
dence and charged that the jury must be
convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of
premeditation. He reviewed the indict-
ment, in which there are two counts, and
charged that the jury could hold on either
count if they found the facts warranted
such a finding. During . the delivery of
- the judge’s charge Sadie and Clarence held
, each other’s hands very affectionately. The
"judge finished. his charge at 1 :20, and
the jury was instructed to retire for din-
.ner, and court adjourned until 2 :80.
. At a little after 2:30 the court recon-
vened, but the jury sent word that it had
not been able to agree upon a verdict. The
people about the courtroom were greatly
surprised, and when some time later a
.. similar announcement was made the opin-
. ion‘ was freely expressed that the differ-
" ences in the jury room were of such a na-
ture that a mistrial was the only possible
outcome. "
Violent Storm In Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Ga., March 21.-—A tornado
;_struck Augusta back of the old Lafayette
race course today. The first house struck
was hurled across McKinnie street and
.,thrown against the house on the opposite
easide. Its sole occupant, a colored woman,
_was badly, but not fatally hurt. Nothing
_but the floor of the house was left. In the
next house demolished. a negro woman
and five children were buried under the
Wreck, but after an hour’s hard work
were extricated alive, though some of
them were badly bruised. In the central
southern part of the city a dozen houses
were wrecked, and all along the path of
the storm, trees, fences and outhouses
were leveled.
- ‘ Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my backall last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 8
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

Officers of the \Vhisky Trust \Vill Have
to Account For That Sum.
CHICAGO. March 213—71816 Tribune to-
day says: It is expect-La that the experts
will have completed their examination of
the books of the Whisky ‘ozust for thefiscal
year ending March 31, 1892, by the end of
. this week. Their report, it is asserted,
will contain developments more sensation-
al than any yet brought to light in the in-
vestigation of the career of the corpora-
tion. These developments will be made
the foundation for suits against certain
‘ ofi‘icers and directors of the trust to recov—
er moneys which will aggregate $2,000, 000
or more. Incidentally, it is said, they
will lay bare the facts in the conspiracy
which culminated in the sale of the Shue-
feldt distillery, and which was marked
during its progress by attempts to destroy
the distillery with dynamite, and by the
arrest of George J . Gibson, then secretary
of the trust, on a charge of being impli-
cated in the plot. .
The“ r‘cCeiver and others interested r0-
fused to discuss the situation. They ad-
mitted that certain suits were in contem-
plation, but declined to give details. say-
ing the matters at issue must be first tried
in the courts. From other sources it is
‘learned, however, that the experts have
found entries on the books of the company
showing that upward of $500,000 were ex-
pended soon after the arrest of Gibson
and before the indictments against him
were quashed, and for all this vast expend-
iture no debit entries were made. Fur-
ther, the actual disposition of most of this
money has been learned from records
found in the inner safe in the vaults of the
company at Peoria, which was opened by
expert locksmiths ten days ago.
It is on these discoveries that the civil
suits to recover money so paid will be
based. Some of these suits may be started
by the receivers, though those ofi‘icials re-
fused to make any admissions in this re-
gard.
Reorganization Favored.
CINCINNATI. March 21,—Mr. W. E. Hut-
ton, member of the reorganization com-
mittee of the Whisky trust, has received a
telegram from New York members of the

in favor of the reorganization, and by
March 25, the limit of the time for pledg-
ing stock, the amount pledged would be
raised to 250. 000 shares. Certificates of
these shares are already listed in the New
York Exchange and are subjects of specu-
lation.

RIDGEWOOD, N. J ., March 21.—Briga
dier General Adam Badcau died suddenly
in the Herbert House here.

of apoplexy, was not in very geod health.

resident of the Herbert House in Ridge-
wood, where his adopted children, George
Corfu and Miss Chillman, lived with him.
He was married abroad, while holding the
consul generalship at London. Dr. Bax

in 1877-8, that be accompanied General
Grant in his famous tour around the
world. For two years, from May, 1882, to
' April, 1884, General Badeau was consul
general at Havana. While acting in that
capacity be accused the state department
of-- corruption in its administration and
resigned the office held by him at that
time because the government would not
permit him to substantiate the charges he
had made. I ‘
?. Two appointments, one as United States
minister to Brussels in 1875, and to Co-
penhagen in 1881, were declined by him.
Of the books which he published. the most
widely read were “ The Vagabonds, ” a. col-
lection of essays; “Military History of
Ulysses S. Grant,” “Conspiracy, a Cuban
Romance;” ‘fAristocracy In England, ”
and “Grant In Peace. ”
It was that last book and the one which
General Grant wrote as his memoirs which
subsequently caused the friction between
General Badeau and the Grant family.
