The Verdict in ftikinscn-

But Indictment Against Mrs.
Atkinson Still Stands.
Glenville, W. Va , June 7.
The verdict of acquittal, return
ed by t’ e jury in t' e Owen’s
case, in .which Mrs. Governor
A’lcinsun was a former co-de
ft ndnnt was a surprise.
The Court had decided upon
the admissabiiity of the letters
produced yesterday, holding
that they could be read as evi
dence. The defense excepted.
Shortly after 3 o’clock the state
'■sted, and then General Watts,
for the defense, made a remark
able statement.
He said in effect, that under
the rulings of the court the de
t< nse desired toolfer no evidence
whatever, and would accept a
verdict of "guilty,’’ so th t they
might t; ke advantage in anotli
er coiirt of their right under the
law.
Tbe jury ’ was- ttiereupon in
-truetpd that if they wished ihey |
:ould return a verdict of “guilty’’
ij/.R! their seat's. The jury asked
to retire’an I >n their return, to
the astonishment to all their
verdict was “not guilty?’
The indi .ta.eiit against Mrs.
(tKiii’sdii still stands. The de
murrer to it was argued today.
I) ; tbv in my arms No violence
was offered us, but neither vyas
.anything done for our comfort,
not even for the children, "ho
■ried bitterly all the way. I had
no assistance, save that once in
;l while one of the soldiers would
olfer to carry my baby for mtj a
little \v*y to rest me. I accepted
this offer but once, for 1 could
not/bear to see mv child in the
A, . . , <
arms of those butchers.
“At Havana we were better
tereat cd than 1 had dared to
' f ..’C
hope. We were prisoners of war,
hut were not closely confined,
and Irefore. long we were ex
changed on condition that we
leave, the country at cnce. This
we did •'and went to Spain, w here
we remained until the war was
over.
When it ended my husband
was i'u a Spanish Dungeon, apd
my eldest ’sbn had been sent to
i one of Spain’s penal off
the coast of Africa. All were re
leased, and we came to Ameri
ca, but the continued struggle of
our country for liberty has taken
my husband from me most of
the time.
‘•1 have given him to tho
'cause cheerfully, and 1 hope on
ly that in the end we may win—
we must. We are all grateful to
Am idea and the Americans for
tlibir sympathy and help.”
Airs, uarcia is tall and ot
commanding figure. Her strong
y< t sensitive face, with traces of
grief and resignation, is crown-
■cd wi'th wealth of beautiful
gray hair.'that gives her aft
added dtgfiiiv. Her voice has a
vibrant quality, and it rings out
wi,ih’;di:ainatic power when the
■ speaks and her wrongs.
They now call the scrap with
_ Spain a “kind hearted war.’'

ba witlTthe nrniy of ‘iiiv. sion
have nearly all come from sm.JI
ports not a part of tl.e- regqjar
c >•'st defense pl a if, but open t<-'
a tack'from the sea, fron ii'a i;
idties of consider, id. in. p->-i.’i: t
says the Wadiin -j hi cwrix :-p->n
dent of the Tribune.
The plan of mouuli ig these
guns was carried <mt bv Gen.
Wilson, chief of engineers, who.
managed before the war begun,
to get together a number of
converted old ril-l-e» and sm-.>.0L,.u--
bores and place tlmmi in pdsitidu
for the .defense of such y , ts s -
Port R< yal, Minin', Ju, er In
let, St. Augustine an 1 several j
of the smaller towns along tin
gulf coast..
. .These guns gave a fair defens-,
the general says, tud would have
•kept at a distance any
light draught ships entering the
ports where they were mounted.
Senator Tillman was one of tire
most persistent advocates of
sending guns to these little coad'i
towns, and-succeeded in getting
the mouth of Cape Gear well
protected.
Other Southern senators pre-i
sented strong arguments and;
used such persuasion fordef til
ing ports in their states tba!
SOon all the seige guns available
were mounted on imjtia.vid'd
emplacements.
All this was accomplished at
considerable outlay of money . '
irately orders came-to ship every '
. field gun to Tampa ai d otlu r
- 1 ’ ports, where troops are to cm -
bark for Cuba and the work of
i removing the pieces was hegtin.
“ Senators are now protesting
against their removal. but they
have been assured that with Ce'-”
,■ vera in Santiago and the C;;Tz
' fleet too decrepit to
. oceati, the most exposed port
need have no fear from Spanish
bombardment .
If any of the enemv attack
I these p.orts, the war olh dal say
( that the old smooth bores will
I' keep off any ships that could get
close enough in shore to op r te
their guns successful!.
