I New Yobk City (Special).?Frederic de | U Tour Booth-Tucker, Commander of the ( American division of the Salvation Army, was convicted by a jury in the General ' 8assions of maintaining a disorderly nouse at 126 West Fourteenth street, which is the J Salvation Army barracks. For three days he had been on trial, and the regiment of ] sleepless boarders who had testified that the Salvationists conducted noisy meetings < at the barracks appeared extremely happy ' when the foreman of the jury pronounced j COMHANDEB BOOTH-TCCKEB. I (Salvation Army leader convicted of keep- 1 ing a disorderly house.) j the verdict of guilty. Well-dressed men j and fashionably attired women congratu- j lated Assistant District Attorney Welch on < winning the battle, while half a hundred privates and officers of the Salvation Army erowded around Booth-Tucker's counsel, ! ex-Mayor Oakey Hall, who had mobilized 1 the Salvationists for the great struggle. ] v??nn hm fho neighbors of the Salvation- ! fats In Thirteenth street, under the leadership of Phineas Smith, get square with the all-uighi prayer meetings that kept them . from their sleep and Ailed the hearts of the boarding-house keepers with despair as they saw their boarders, one by one, fleeing from the sound of tambourines, trombones, bass drums and hallelujahs. The jury before whom he was tried returned its verdict at twenty minutes aftei lx o'clock p. m. The jurors had deliberated just Ave hours and Ave minutes. Booth-Tucker may be sentenced to the penitentiary for one year or be compelled to pay a fine of $500, or both, but the opinion prevailed that Judge Newburgei would simply impose a fine. The conviction probably will result in the SalvatioD Army conducting its religfous ceremonies with less noise hereafter. Commander Booth-Tucker plainly howed that he was surprised at the result of the trial. He had been standing with his face toward the jurors, and when he heard the verdict he turned and faced Judge Newburger. "If Your Honor please," former Mayoi A- Oakey Hall said, "I ask that the discretion o"f the Court be invoked, that the bail be continued in this case, and the de- J fend ant be permitted to leave the court.'" "Certainly; certainly. Mr. Hall. Mr. Booth-Tucker may be "permitted to go," said the Judge, and the date (or imposing sentence was then agreed upon. Clerk Wolf then took Booth-Tucker's pedigree. It ran this way: Age forty-four years; born in Monghyr, India; residence, Lorlllard street. Fordham; occupation, Salvation Army officer; married; can read and write; religion, Sal^ Tatlon Army; both parents living; teetotaler. When asked if he was ever convicted before, Booth-Tucker replied: "Yes, and sent to prison for one month for holding open air meetings in Bombay." "What was the charge?" Mr. Wolf asked. "Well, technically," Booth-Tucker re. plied, "it was for refusing to obey an ordei to disperse a crowd." Booth-Tucker issued a statement protest- ' Ing that his conviction was an outrage that In the light of future history would be I placed on a level with some or the Strang- i ' est perversions of law ever witnessed. The < verdict, he declared, jeopardized religious liberty, and the prosecution was the result of the "relentless vindictivenf ss of a handful of neighbors who pursued us to its utI, 1 most length." He foresees that the indirect consequences of the verdict must be shared by "" every 8alvation Army Captain in the land, over whose head any neighbor "may hold the whip and pose as 'the people.* " He | , said that the Salvation Army had helped thousands of New York's poorest citizens, and that the return had been a stigmatization of the Army's barracks as a disorderly house.

Brooklyn Barrister, Who Had Wealth Bat No Clients, Committed Salcldf Because Life Had. Been a Failure? Bscilfleeh His Boy to Save Him Pala ?Called the Lad From Play to Death. ^H| New Yobk , Crrr (Spedal).?Charles RRfl iemble Hlllyard, a Brooklyn lawyer, who tfl| egan lite as an actor and was a relative f Charles and Anna Kemble, Mrs. Scott iddons and Algernon Sartoris, took tha ie of himself and of his thirteen-year-old oy either on Monday night or early Tuesay morning. His own failure in life, his lability to obtain clients, or in the social rorld to gather friends to himself through tie bonds of sympathy, had been brooded Dj ver so much that It had become a monolanla with him. When there was added H d this the melancholy into whloh the death S f his wife threw him, his unbalanced mind V arned to suicide as a relief. Unwilling to r 1 ave his boy face the world that nad | roved so bitter to him, Hlllyard took the id with him into the great unknown. The double tragedy occurred In tha leaping room of the father and son, on tha acond floor of their home, at No. 213 rreene avenue, Brooklyn. A revolver, with no empty chambers, which was found neai le body of the father, and bullet holes In le heads of the father and son, just above le right ear In each case, tell how the deed -as done, though it is not known that any ne heard the shots. Among the letters, schedules and statelents written by Hlllyard In explanation f his contemplated deed, there is a relorkable sort of brief or argument for - _ -q ragedy which he was planning. Addition! 1 nd interlineations in some of these state- ' ' lents make it probable that the killing of is boy was an afterthought. Hlllyard was fifty-tour years old, and, allough a graduate of the Columbia Lav chool and with twenty years of attempted ractlce of law behind him, desk room in n office of the Arbuckle Building was all e needed for conducting the legal affain * f his handful of olients. On Monday evenig he returned home In a particularly retful, uneasy frame of mind. Through- 7 nt sunnfir his manner was exceedlntrlv ervous, and when be arose] from the taBle e told his son to come upstairs with him. . ut the lad, a happy, talented youngster, as repairing his bicycle for a ride which e intended taking, and said: "Wait, papa; I want to clean my bicyole." The father consented, hut went upstairs lmself. At 8 o'clock the boy's usual bedme, Hill yard called down for the boy, and i le latter went up. After the boy had rered Miss Catherine Mein, Hillyard's sisteri-lawt entered the room with a basket of pples, and found Hillyard writing. Then le went to her room on the third floor, here also slept the servant, the only other erson in the house. Miss Mein, at 8 o'clock next morning; nocked at the door of the room, and, heartg no answer, entered just far enough to 3e the body of the boy. She thought she iw the lad move, but It must have been le wind blowing the covers. Fearing to rouse the irritable nature of her brother* i-law, she withdrew. It was after the luncheon hoar when suslcions were aroused by the non-appearnce of the two. Miss Mein again went to le room and this time went in far enough ) see that the heads of the man and the oy were covered with blood. The body of the boy was lying In his little rass bed In the alcove of the sleeplngsom. It was lying on the left side, and le placid countenance indicated that there ras no return of consciousness when the ither leaned over and flred the shot that ?. banged the sleep of life to the sleep of eath. I The father's bed stood beside the boy's. ^ [illyard's body lay across this, and the reDiver was on tne floor. 1IHe had evidently it on the edge of the bed to shoot himself, ver his nightgown was a dressing-gown, ad his slippers were on his feet. On the centre-table were found the stateients and letters which he left, and some npaid bills. On a stand at one side rested large Bible, open at the twenty-third salm.
