"Gentlemen of the Jury," he said,
his face beaming with Joy, "in the
name of Justice, truth and civilization,
I thank you." -'-..
The court Interpreter, Alfred Sacco,
acting for Caruso, said:
"Mr. Caruso desires me to say that
he wants to thank you all and now
that he la a free man he says that he
was innocent of the crime."
Ettor, leader of the strike at Law
rence nn:l chief center of interest in a
case that has' aroused worldwide at
tention, addressed the Jury:
"May it pjease the court," he said,
"I thank you not only for myself but
In the name of my companions. I
also feel Impelled to thank the court
for the fair manner In which this trial
has been conducted. The thanks We
offer are not only ours but thanks hi
, the name, of the working class."
Verdicts Are Rendered.

nt 8:42 o'clock and asked If the Jury
had agreed upon a verdict.
"We have-," said the foreman as he

"Joseph Caruso, stand up," com
manded Clerk Ceorge.
As Caruso obeyed the clerk called:
"Caruso, face the Jury; the Jurymen
look at the prisoner. Gentlemen of
the lurv. Is Joseph Caruso guilty or
not guilty?"
Not guilty," was the unanimous re
ply. Ettor and Giovannittl were likewise
commanded to rise and again the
Jurors chorused "not guilty" for each
defendant. The Jury, which for more
than six week had listened to the
evidence In this notable trial, was then
excused from further service with the
thanks of the court The jurors has
tened from the building and were
cheered by the crowds of mill workers
In the streets.
When the Jurors had left, the court
announced to Caruso that there was
another indictment against him,
charging him with assault with n
deadly weapon with intent to kill and
that the court would release him on
his own recognizance. When the pris
oner had' taken oath to appear in
court when summoned he, was releas
ed from the cage. His wife, waiting
at the rail behind the prisoners' cage,
fell into his arms and a dozen of his
male companions rushed forward and
. kissed him.
Hold on Another Indictment.
Ettor and Giovannittl were also held
on another indictment charging them;
together with William D. Haywood of
the Industrial Workers of the World
and others with conspiracy to Incite

they were released In Bonds of $600
each, which were furnished by Helen
8. Dudley of Boston.
The Lawrence strike leaders were
then freed from the prisoners' cage
and besieged by a crowd of men and
women In the court room. For several
minutes they were the recipients of
kisses from the men and congratula
tions from the women. The defend
ants and their attorneys had a Jubila
llon after court adjourned and a few
minutes later, followed by a cheering
thro nir of mill workers, they marcnea
through the streets from the court
house to a local office of the Industrial
Workers of the World, where they re
mained fni anrrtA time.
"I have no Immediate plans," said
Ettor, "but I am going as soon as pos
sible to my home In Tacoma, Wash.,
where I hnve a paralyzed father. He
was paralyzed Bine my arrest."

L'
ONDON, Nov. 26. No change for
the worse In the International po
litical situation brought about by
the Balkan war Is probable today ex
cept insofar as tension decreases the
ability of diplomacy to resist a rup
ture. Great Britain, France and Germany
all are giving counsels of moderation
both at . Vienna and St, Petersburg.
There also Is reason to believe that
Great Britain has given Servia as well
as Russia and .France to understand
that she has no Interest In Servia s
demand for a port on the Adriatic.
She also has told them she has no in
tention of supporting Servia's claim by
force of arms nor of aiding any power
to do so.
The fact that the Austro-Hungarlan
consul at Prisrend has arrived at Us-
kup, thus disposing of the reports of
his murder, ought to be helpful, in
the opinion of diplomats, in bringing
about a general Improvement of the
situation.'

When procedings opened, 106 of

About a dozen mlslonarles, a num
ber of the prisoners' relatives and
other spectators ocupled a space out
side the bar. '
Baron Yun Chi Ho, a former Kor
ean cabinet minister, who had been
sentenced to, ten years imprisonment
at the first trial, was the first pris
oner examined.' He explained at length
the reasons for the confession he
made in March, 1912, before the pro
curator wb.'rt he admitted complicity
in the eontfi.'jacy and implicated six
of the leaders. He said he then be
lieved . from newspaper reports and
other sources that the men had al
ready been convicted.
For that reason and fearing harsh
treatment or torture, which the po
lice, he said, had threatened, he con
fessed only implicating those who he
understood had already confessed.

announced shortly after the Jury had

county. A detective armed with a
warrant based on an indictment found
esterday In New York was prepared

Other charges are pending in New

them in connection with hla adminis
tration of tho Szabo estate. .
Isador Wasser-Vogel, assistant dis
trict attorney, of New York county,
who has been assisting the--Orange
county authorities at the trial, denied
that any offer of any sort had been
made to Gibson on behalf of' the
state. . '
Several times while Judge Tomp
kins was dismissing the Jury, Gibson
broke In with requests that he be per
mitted to. make a statement or that
the court request the Jury to go back
and try to agree upon a verdict. Tho
court refused and was finally obliged
to order the prisoner to stop. '
In dismissing the Jury the court
cautioned them to say nothing about
their deliberations "In view of the
fact that this case will have to lie
tried again in Orange county."
It was reported in the court room
that the Jury had stood 11 to 1 for ac-
uittal on the final ballot Another

Aftor deliberating all night the
ury reported to justice lumii-
klns at 8:40 o'clock this morn-
ng that they had been unable to

After being out six hours, the Jurors
filed Into the court room and told
Justice Tompkins that they could not
agree.
You will retire gentlemen," direct
ed the court In reply, "and make an
other attempt to find a verdict"
Gibson Blouched down In his seat
when Foreman Hicks announced
disagreement. Mrs. Gibson burled her
face In her hands and wept luiln-
their stay In the court room one juror
wanted to know if they had to find
that Mrs. Szabo was strangled to
death In order to return a verdict of
conviction. He was told yes. Another
wrnted the Szabo will. It was given
hlin. A third wanted the letters the
alleged victim had sent to her' home
In Australia.
Mr. Elder. Gibson's lawyer, was
sranted permission to make a motion,
I request the court to charge tne
Jury." he said, "that they must nna,
from all the evidence, beyond a rea
sonable doubt that this defendant
strangled Mrs. Szabo to death before
thev can convict him of any crime,
I hava already so charged tne
lurv." Justice Tompkins said.
Gibson returned to his cell ana Mrs.
Gibson left the court room.
As the night waned the debate In
the jury room became more heated.
Many angry words floated out into
the corridors. One was overheard to
declare that he would hold out for an
acquittal Indefinitely. Others were
eouallv insistent for a verdict of
ullty.
The Jury deliberated until midnight
without reaching a vordlct At that
hour they were still out and had been
for more than four houra. While Gib-
son sat in his cell awaiting word from
the lury room, hla wife, worn by her
long vigil, was resting within call at
