So said the Jury this after noon:at 5.30 in tho case wherein Mr&Rosa D. Hayes was charged with thea&unlcr of Robert M. Floyd, a youjj[g medical student of Charleston, at fir home In Tabor, N. C., on the evening ol' February I, and Neal Haag8, ber husband, as accessory be forStfie fact. vVhile there was slight dcntynsti'allon by the friends of the defendants when the verdict was re turned, which was quickly (iiielled. groat 'ndignation was expressed by UUUBVOUB people when the news spread on the streets that Hayes and hittHKfe would go free. It was not beloved that a verdict for a higher offuPse than manslaughter would be returned, and after hearing the ehafge of Judge Cooke this opinion h ec abie much stronger. That the ver dict^cuused suri)iise is expressing it miijpiy. Shortly after the Jurors left tbe'i/jourt room several of them were met^uy a young lady who did not hesitate to express her opinion of them; Solicitor Slnclear was the only at torney to speak when court convened thlsjjafternoon. He made a splendid speech, and then Judge Cooke charg ed tho jury as to the law. The charge to t?pfe Jury was given in a very Im pressive manner, His Honor stand ing?'"(Which ls something not often done/ lt was 4.10 when the jury was giv^fv.tho case. Amii's. Hayes Shows Feeling. F?r the first time this afternoon MrsiftlHayes Bhowed weakness, but it was only for a few minutes, and she regained the composuro that bas characterized her during the entire trial? and has been one of the fea turesiof ?the case. Just as the solici tor concluded bis speech she was seen tp covertly wipe her eyes with her pandkerchfef, and upon viewing her nloacly it was noticed that she wnsj: ifylng, but endeavoring to sup press'her emotion.

Hale, but. perfectly eal ni; Mrs. Hayes looked vacantly in front of her, and those who viewed her could but think that at least the lit tle woman, who had fired nine bul lets into the body of Robert Floyd on that winter's eve, had awakened to the realization of the crime with which she was charged. Suppressed Cheering, For one hour and fifteen minutes had the jury been out when a knock was heard on the door. Quickly learning that a verdict had been reached the olllccr rang the court house bell and the crowds hurriedly assembled. Neal Hayes was far more agitated than his wife. If it wa? ex pected that Mrs. Hayes would show weakness in this terrible ordeal those who believed it were disappointed. As the words were spoken there was a slight demonstration. Hayes seem ed to scarcely realize that he was a free man, but a smile crept over the face of Mrs. Hayes. The members of the jury quickly walked to the edge of the bar and shook hands with the defendants. A few minutes later Hayes and bis wife walked from the court room into the evening sun light once more free. MUST HA VF PEACH IN MEXICO. The Approach of Panama Canal Opening Makes it Imperative. Washington, March 12.-The Taft administra ion will maintain peace in Mexico and in Central America. With the opening of the Panama Canal not far distant, the responsi bilities of the United States due to the Monroe doctrine make lt all the more imperative that this govern ment take steps to preclude1 the Southern republics being torn hy rev olutionary uprisings. Tho vigorous action taken hy Pres ident Taft and bis advisors In orC, >r In'g a fourth of the United States anny to the Mexican border, in addi tion to the assignment yesterday of the protected cruiser Tacoma, and the scout cruiser Chester to patrol duty on the east coast of thai repub lic, proves thal lt is the consumma tion of this general policy that ls be ing so clearly exempli fled. To Prevent Filibustering. There ls good reason to believe that the ordering of the Fifth Divis ion of the Atlantic. Heel, consisting of live battleships and auxiliaries, ls part of the general plan to patrol the eastern coast of Mexico against fili bustering from this country. Officials of the navy department declined to say yesterday how long the cruisers Tacoma and Chester will be stationed at Mexican ports. But il ls likely that they will be plying back and forth In Mexican waters as long ns there is any likelihood of tho introduction of contraband of war from this quarter. Tho statement from President Taft's train Thursday night as to the reasons for thc extraordinary move ment of troops to the Mexican fron tier has cleared up thc official at mosphere In Washington, and yester day, for tho first time, the govern ment authorities were openly ac knowledging that the holding of mah* oeuvcrs was only incidental to the proposition of mobilizing an adequate force upon the Mexican frontier.
