AtLintii, (ia.. An. 2."Hi. At 4 :."(') o'clock; tl is afternoon tin jury in tin1 case of I'1'1 Frank, on trial for the murder of Mary riiagan, found the defendant guilty. N'o ni-ommeridations were made by the jury. Judge Koan's charge to thp jury, delivered immediately af ter ln had over-ruled a motion of the defense for a mistrial, was terse and direct.' . With refer ence to "reasonable doubt" he Ma i I : "Vou are no rcnmpelletl to find from the evidence hi guilt be yond any doubt, lut leyi.nd a reasonable doubt, such a doubt as grows out of the evidence, or fop til- want of evidence; Mich a iloubt as a reasonable and im partial man would entertain about matters of the highet im portance to himself, and after all reasonable efforts to ascertain the truth. Thus does not mean a fanciful doulit, one conjured up )y the jury." During the trial much stress was placed by both sides on the question of Prank's character. Wmlpp Kuan charged the jury that while evidence of the de fendant's good reputation pre vious to the death of Mary Pha gau was to be considered pos sibly as creating a doubt of lr.s guilt, .such evidence would not suffice to clear him if, in the opinion of the jury, other evi dence was .sufficient to .show that lie had committed the crime charged against him. The- reading of the charge re quired about 20 minutes. Frank showed no visible sign of emotion when he was inform ed that he had been found guilty, fl'he fletory sapcTtntettdeut' wife was with the prisoner when the message was delivered and she collapsed. More than an hour before I'rank wax notified, the jury's verdict of murder ii the first degree was received with a noisy demonstration by the crowd, e timatetl at more than 2.000 per sons which had assembled out side the court house. All spec tators were excluded from the court room before the verdict w; announced. By agreement of counsel the prisoner was permit ted to remain in his cell at the county jail. Only lawyer's, court officials and newspaper nun heard the verdict. After listening to the presenta tion of evidence and argununt of counsel for more than four week tbe jury retired at 12:47 o'clock this afternoon when Judge Uoan concluded his charge. Shortly after 4 o'clock it was announced that a verdict had been reaehe 1 but it was nearly 5 o'clock before-the jury returned to the court room. As the news was flashed to the crowil outside there was loud cheering. Mounted poiicemtii roh through the crowd in an ef fort to disperse it but the de monstration continued unabated. Solicitor Dorsey, who conduct w I tlu- prosecution was the fir.st per- j son to leave the court room. ,s lie stepped into the street he Was lifted to the shouhlres of s-vral' men and carried through, thcj shout iiiig crow!.

Kvcred a very interesting charge on the cause of crime. The judge laid the Idarne for the greattr part of the crimes against seeiitv against extravagance. He said that this spending more than could be afforded was a national crime. The national government spends more than it should spend. The state govern ment ,the county, towns and fin ally the individuals of the com munity were bound by the cim mon crime, of extravagance, whirl in turn led to the l sser crimes which come into the courts of justice. As an illustraiton 0f this ten dency to sixuid more money than the incomes of individuals afford ed Judge Carter cited the case against the automobile, and call--ed attentio! to the recent s'tate '.nient of the secretary of state that a large number of the checks .sent in by automobile owners for their state tax, came back from the banks on tlis protest. Whiskey also came in for its share of the crime that are com mitted against hinnanity and the state. The iudce chnrcfwl tl.

The bridge was o.Cod feet long, and the draw itself was 2G4 fe t long. Over it about l.t'tn) freight cars passed laily with fool pro durcts, eoal, and in n for New Jbigland and Long Island, and in rotiirn came cars bwuled with the output of factories of' that section. When the fire started a JYnnsv lvania freight train from the South with 3o cars of py tatocs bound for New Knglaud was on the bridge. The engine ami the first five cars got into dreenville safely. Tlu flagman, seeing the danger ahead, cut off the cabin ear at the head of the train and pushed it to saMy him.sdf. The remaining :50 ears were d.-stroyed, and the debris sank; Avirth what was left of the bridge. About :i."00 feet of the bridge were bunnd. It wa; almost im possible for airy one to get elo.se enough to fight the flames. "The engineers of the com pany and of the Lch;gh Valley Railrfmd did not vait for - th fire to abate its fury before they had all their plans perfected for re-establishing connection Ivc tween Newark ami Greenville. "It Avas decided that each road should build one track, thereby giving a two-track bridge when !.:h had finLsed. The Lehigh Valley bridge builders started at tlu- wist end of the bridge, while the Pennsylvania men worked in tlu- opposite drieetion. "Here are a few things the en gineers were ( rdering while the fir still l!ti:d; Fourteen pile drivers, l!5.mirri derricks, 21 se iwi, 2 tues, C cnunnarans, 5 air compressors., ..' water boats, 2 vlerrick cars, 2 bs-ivmotive cranes, '. Kwitching engines, 2 teams of horses d,(KK),000 feet of lumber and l,f00 men. This was but a starter. As the work pr gresed much other 'equipment was added. "Here, within sight of down town New York, was a construc tion camp such as might have been buildrng a railroad in the f;:r Went, miles even from a village, Those men the railroad chiefs had put in charge to repair the damage done by the fire did not leave their job until it was finj ish.d. More than 70 of them had their meals and slept, there. A sleeping car gave tln-m lxils, while they ate in a dining car. For the laborers and carpenters other quarters were established. "The special physician who was on duty remarked afterward that such was tlie attention paid to every detail when the camp was organized that there proved to Jie little need for the services of a physician.
