The Acquitted Woman Leaves Prison
and Goes to theoCountry.

HER LAST NIGHT IN PRISON.

 

Although at Liberty to Leave, She Re-
mained In the Tombs Several Hours
After Her Discharge That She
Might Be With Her Baby.

’\

NEW YORK, June 25.—Mary Alice Al?
ment Livingston Fleming was still inlthe
Tombs early today, but not as a prisoner.
After her acquittal of the charge of having
murdered hei- mother, Mrs. Bliss, Mrs.
Fleming went back to the prison from the
court. She had been discharged by Re-
corder God and was a free woman.

It was early morning when the jury re-
turned with‘ the verdict of not guilty.
‘Mrs. Fleming’ s lawyers advised her to go
to the Astor House, but she thought that
the hour was too late. She accepted the
invitation of Matron Smith to return to
the Tombs as her uest. .,

When _thg verd ct was rendered, Mrs.
Elwi'g's baby was asleep in the prison.
The mother returned and spent an hour 1n
her former cell making ready for her do-
parture. She could not sleep. Since Mrs.

Fleming has been in the Tombs this was ;

the only time that she lost sleep.

The first caller at the Tombs to see Mrs.
Fleming today was Lawyer John 0. Shaw
of her counsel. He drove up in a carriage,
and on behalf of his wife invited Mrs.
Fleming to spend a few days at that home
at Finderne, N. J. Mr. Shaw’s home is
in a quiet town about 35 miles from this
city on the Central Railroad of New J or-
sey. Mrs. Fleming will remain as Mrs.
Shaw’s guest until she has become thor-
o'ughly rested.

After his interview with Mrs. Fleming
Mn. Shaw went to his office, where he had
a consultation with Mr. Nathan and Mr.
Ohio. The three were in a happy frame
of mind over the result of the trial.

“I have just left Mrs. Fleming in the
best of spirits,” Mr. Shaw said. “She ex-
pected to he acquitted. As for myself,
why, I said all along that she would be
acquitted. How could it be otherwise? I
was confident that we had shown the jury
that she was innocent of the charge of
murder. I do not think there is any truth
in the report that Mrs. Fleming and Fer—
dinand Wilckes are to be married imme-
diately. I said that several days ago. How
long Mrs. Fleming will remain as Mrs.
Shaw’s guest, I cannot say. She may stay
as long as she cares to. I made arrange-
ments to take her out of town at once.”

Mrs. Fleming Leaves Town.

The preparations which Mr. Shaw re-
ferred to in speaking of Mrs. Fleming’s
departure from the city were chiefly two
carriages that drove up to the entrance of
the Tombs- at , 10 o’clock. With the car-

] riages came a crowd that blocked the side-

wa’lk. It'was the second crowd of the day.
The first crowd .had gathered as early as
8:30 o'clock. It waited and then went
away disappointed, for word was sent forth
from the prison that Mrs. Fleming had
not returned there after her acquittal.

Therewere several reports about Mrs.
Fleming’s whereabouts. To inquirers some
of the Tombs keepers .said that she had
gone to Boston. Others said that after the
verdict was given she had driven to the
Astor House. These were replies chiefly to
the women missionaries who haunted the
courtroom during the trial.

Some of the women lingered about the
Tombs, while others left, expressing their
disappointment. Then the carriages came,
and new interest was given to the case.

After a short wait Mrs. Fleming emerged
from the Tombs and she and Lawyer
Shaw were rapidly driven to the railroad
station, whence they took the train for'
Mr. Shaw’s country home.

Every one interested in the trial ex-
pressed himself today as glad that it was
over. For more than a month it has
dragged along resplendent with sensations.
What it has cost Mrs. Fleming her counsel
cannot say. Some put the total cost at
$80,000. How near that figure is right
will not be known until all the bills are
1n. '
The verdict that terminated the trial
was a surprise to many. The jury left the
courtroom wifi1 the evidence at 1:19
o’clock yesterday afternoon. The record-
er’s charge was considered to be a fair one.
Hour after hour dragged along, but there
was no word from the juryroom. There
were no rumors as to how the jury stood.

Every one supposed that the result
would be a disagreement. Once the jury
came into court to have read the part of the

testimony showing the amount of. arsenic ‘

found in Mrs. Bliss’ stomach by Chemist
Scheele and Dr. Mott. Foreman Poor was
particularly anxious to know just how
much Dr. Scheele found in the part of the
stomach that he had examined and how

emuch Dr. Mott had found in his half.

Then the jury retired again. It was then
7:50 o’clock.
The Verdict of Acquittal.

Ur. Brooke left the courtroom as the
jury retired. He went to Philadelphia,
and as he shook hands he said that he felt
blue. He did not expect an acquittal.

Another hour passed, and still there was
no word. Men began to leave the court-

. room, but the women staid.

Just before midnight Recorder Golf
sent out word that the jury would be
locked up for the night. Florence Bliss
then went home. Mrs. Fleming was in
another part of the building. A little
more than an lpur later, after nearly 12
hours of deliberation, the jury returned.
The crowd that had gathered in the cor-
ridor surged into the courtroom. .

There was suppressed excitement. Juror
Buchtel was weeping as he took his seat;
Two other jurors' were smiling. When
Lawyer Shaw saw Buchtei, he thought
that perhaps the verdict would be against
his client. There was not long to wait.
Foreman Poor arinounced that they had
found the defendant not guilty.

The announcement of the verdict was
received with cheers. Men stood on chairs
and waved their hats in the air. It was a
wild scene of excitement.‘

Mrs. Flemlhg was then brought before
the bar. Her counsel protested, but Re-
corder Goff insisted that she be arraigned,

:because, he said, he did not know whether

or not there was another charge against
her. Mrs. Fleming was then discharged,
and she left the courtroom before the
crowd was permitted to depart. She went
over the Bridge of Sighs with the warden
of the Tombs and Matron Smith.

LAURIER THE vicroa.

Canadian Liberals \Vin Easily In thegGon-
eral .Elections. *

TORONTO, J and 25.—The general elec-
tions for the Dominion parliament, which
took place throughout the Dominion, were
probably the most hotly contested and in
some respects the most bitter in the, his-
tory of Canada. . The result is the com-
plete overthrow of the Conservative gov-
ernment, led by Sir Charles Tupper.

While the tarifi‘ question was the most
important issue of the campaign, the Man-
itoba school question aroused" a greater
degree of enthusiasm and excitement, and
a leading feature in the election was the

double headed policy of the Conservative '

party on that question, many Conserva-
31379.5 running as supporters of the govern-

WILFRED LAURIER.

ment on all questions except as regards
its Manitobaremedial legislation. Three
cabinet ministers in the Tupper govern-
ment were defeated—A. B. Dickey, min-
ister of justice; L; 0. Taillon, postmaster
general, and A. Desjardins, minister of
public works.

Wilfred La-urier, the Liberal leader, was
elected for two constituencies — Quebec
East and Saskatchewan.

Dalton McCarthy, leader of the inde-
pendents, was also elected for two constitu-
encies—North Simcoe and Brandon.

Peter White, speaker of the house of
commons, and A. B. Angers, ex-minister
of agriculture in the Mackenzie-Bowen
cabinet, were defeated. David Mills, ex-
minister of interior in Alexander Macken-
zie’s cabinet and a prominent Liberal, was
also defeated.

The vote so far as reported stands: Lib-
erals, 111; Conservatives, 79; Independ-
ents, 8; Patrons, 4. There are still 11
constituencies to hear from. There was
much excitement throughout the country,.
but the voting passed off quietly.

The Globe today, in commenting upon
the result of the elections, says: “Liberals
everywhere are proud of their brethren in
Quebec. In the face of the hostile attitude
of the church they have been triumphant
in all parts of the province. It must be
accepted as a great victory for civil free-
dom and as an event which firmly knits
the province to its sister provinces. . We
hope from this day may be dated a new
era of prosperity and honor for Canada.
Governments and parliaments may do
much toward this end, butour main con-
fidence is in the intelligence, the enter
prise and the patriotism of the people of
Canada.”

WINNIPEG, June 24. ——The Winnipeg
election fought here between Joseph M.
Martin, Liberal, andHugh John Macdon-
ald, Conservative, was the hottest ever
The issue was the
Manitoba national school policy. The suc-
cessful candidate was Macdonald, who de-
feated his Liberal antagonist by 126 ma-
jority.

Price of an Ugly Duckling. .

N EwYORK, June 25.—Twelve men have
declared that David Belasco was entitled
to $16,000 from N. K. Fairbank, the Chi-
cago millionaire, for training Mrs. Leslie
Carter to be a star actress. They heard
the long trial for $65, 000 alleged to be due
under an agreement with Fairbank, who
in turn made a counter claim for $54,000,
money advanced to Belasco while he was
training Mrs. Carter and starring her in
“An Ugly Duckling.”

Another Armenian Massacre.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 25.—Advices re-
ceived here from Van, Asia Minor, say
that in the outbreak which occurred there
400 Armenians were killed. A large num-
ber of persons have taken refuge in the
British consulate. The massacre is as-
cribed to agents of the porte, who Were
paid to provoke a demonstration on the
part of the Armenians, which might serve
as a pretext for a general slaughter of
Christians.

The Venezuelan Situation.

GEORGETOWN, British Guiana, June 25.
—A much better feeling prevails here to-
day. From additional information re-
ceived in official circles regarding the ar-
rest of Mr. Harrison, the crown surveyor,
by Venezuelans the authorities here are
now inclined to believe that his arrest was
not the result of direct orders from Ca-
racas, but the acts of irresponsible Ven—
ezuelans,‘ who acted under a misapprehen-
smn.

General Campbell a Maniac.

LOS ANGELES, Junie 25.—Ge_neral A.
R. Campbell, the well known Republican
orator, has become a raving maniac. Gen-
eral Campbell’s failure of mind, is ex-
tremely sad. He is lawyer of high stand-
ing and strong att ments and a gifted
orator. He came to this city from Kan-
sas, and some mtqths ago his wife died.
Constant brooding over his condition su-
perinduced brain fever.

brought by William J. Kresser of Albany
to restrain State Excise Commissioner
Henry‘H. Lyman from revoking his li-

Raines law. Judge Wallace denies the
motion and holds that the Raines law is
constitutional.

 

Spain’s Relations With Us.
MADRID, June 25.—-The senate is still
debating the question of the relations be-
tween Spain and the United States. In
the dis ussion Professor Comas again de-
mande that the protocol of 1877 with the
United States he abrogated. The minister
of war denies the statement that it is the
intention of the war ofi‘ice to call out the

Second reserves for service in Cuba.
