(Chicago papcra please copy.) Let Them Off With a Reprimand and $10 Fine Each. IGNORANCE PLEA REJECTED. Jurors Had Each Earned SIO During Week of Service, and That Paid Their Tine. In Part I of the Queens County Supreme Court at Flushing this forenoon Justice Frederick E. Crane fined the twelve Jurors whom he found guilty of contempt of court yesterday each.

All tbe Jurors wera present with the exception of Cladlus Offray of Flushing, who sent a doctor's certificate of illness to explain his absence. With tha expectation that the Jurors would be committed to Jail for contempt many people were In tha court room this morning when court convened. After the names of tha Jurors had been called. George V. S.

Williams, of Williams Richardson of Brooklyn, addressed tha court and said: "I understand, your honor, that you have convicted these Jurors of contempt of court." "No," interrupted Justice Crane, "they have convicted themselves." Mr. Williams then explained that four of the Jurors had never served on Juries before, and that none of them had any Intention of violating the court's instruction nor of showing any disrespect to the) court. He said that when they found that. there were no hopes of an agreement they decided to go borne, as they had not understood that the court had ordered the Jury to remain in session until a certain hour of the night. Mr; Williams said that Juror Offray had tickets for a performance that night, and that, seeing that there would be no agreement on a verdict, he did not believe that he was dong anything wrong if he went home so that Ha could uso tbe ticket.

Justice Crane said that ha felt mora sorry for the Jurors than they did for themselves. He then went on to say that he had given instructions to the Jurors to remain in consideration of the caso until a certain hour, and that they should not have left the Jury room until tne time he had named. "There is a principle at stake," sold Justice Crane. "I cannot overlook It, for ignorance of the law is no excuse. The Juror have earned $10 each for serving five days this week, and I now find them guilty of contempt of court and fine them each $10." Tho flnos were all paid, except that of Juror Offray, who was not present, and the talesmen loft the court room, each vowing to himself that ho would never again be recreant to his duty as a Juror, no matter if being faithful meant staying on the Job all night nud all the following day.

Important Announcement It appears that through an article which was recently published in one of the local newspapers regarding Flatbush fire risks, an erroneous impression has been gained that a number of Fire Insurance Companies have taken steps to withdraw from writing risks in Flatbush territory. This agency begs to announce that none of the Companies represented by them has taKen any such action, and that it will continue to write fire insurance in the Flatbush section, the same as in the past.

LEHRENKRAUSS' SONS, (Head Office Agents) (Established 1878) IL Three Robbers Get $25 and His Pocketbook; One of Them Arrested. LONG PURSUIT 'CROSS LOTS! i Started by Meyer's Stalwart Son, I Who Heard Father's Cries Police-! man Helped, Later. Aged Fred Meyer, a grocer, who has been in business In East Flatbush for many years, had a desperate encounter with three Italian highwaymen in his store this morning, when they held him ui and stole a pocketbook containing (25. It was only after he had called repeatedly for help while the highwaymen beating him unmercifully that he aroused his Bon Henry, a stalwart youug man, who gave chase to the robbers, Y'oung Meyers followed the men across tho fields of "Pigtown," until Mounted Policeman Jacobs of Flatbush hove in sight. Then the policeman on horseback pursued the men, finally capturing one who gave bis name as "Jack" Demorest, of Myrtle avenue and Navy street, but who was later identified as Jacobino Amhroiso, of 479 New York avenue.

Mr. Meyer who is aged 69, and bent with age, was in his store at D03 avenue about 7:30 o'clock this morn ing when Ambrosio and two companions entered. Ambrosio wag the boldest of the lot. He approached the grocer and asked for a pound of cooked ham. When tho infirm man turned his back to com ply with the order, ho alleges Ambrosio caught him from the roar by tho throat and held him firmly.

This was the cue to tho companions, Meyers declares. They rame forward and rifled his pockuts. Nor am tney nurry themselves in the least. After relieving tho grocer of his and evidently satisfied with tho contents, tho men released their grip on him and proceeded to leave the store, warning Meyer against raising an aairm. In obedience to their demands he re malned silent until they left the store, but the moment they were gune, he shouted loudly for help.

His shouts could be heard distinctly by his son up stairs, and he hurriedly got on his feot and went to his father's aid. Acquainted with the facts, the youth went after the highwaymen. Soon ha was chasing them across the held. In the vicinity of Kingston avenue. Baiter, tho policeman, was attracted, and he pursued the fugitives.

After a brief chase, Ambrosio was caught and arrested, chnrged with robbery. The other men escaped, but it Is expected they will bo arrested to-day. Captain Duller has their name and addresses. In the Flatbush court to-day Ambrosio gave the name of "Jack Demurest." Magistrate Steers had remombered the prisoner as the same who was charged with petty larceny by Carrain Orlando of 3S4 Letlerts avenue, several days before. "I remember you." said tho magistrate.

"If you are guilty of this charge you ought to be sent away for a number of years. "I am glad that you arrested the man who is charged with holding up this respectable citizen." continued the magistrate to Policeman Baker. "I will hold him without bail until next Tuesday when I will hear evidence myself. I have no sympathy for these highwaymen." Grocer Meyer stated to tho court that he was certain of his charge, positive that Ambrosio grabbed him by the throat, as he 'feels the marks on his throat now." Tho prisoner would not reveal tho names of his accomplices. He was taken to police headqjiarters by Policeman Baker to be "mugged." "NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE" So Coroner's Jury Finds as to Gold Street Tragedy.

Long Inquest Ended Last Night. Many Experts Examined at Length, in Vain, The jury empaneled by Coroner Ken nedy to determine what led to the disaster on Gold, at. Front street, on the -tlth of November last, by which a dozen people lost their lives, rendered a verdict last night and found: no one to blame. A number of witnesses had been examined, including experts in engineering and persons who were in the neighborhood at the time of the collapse of the trench, hut no ouc seems to be able to throw any light on the cause of it all. There seemed to be a well defined opinion that the collapse, was not due primarily to an explosion of gas, but the evidence all showed that suddenly.

and without warning of any sort, tbe sides of the trench, which was 4T feet deep, dropped in on the workmen and the city inspector, and dragged with them tho two children who were playing on the surface of the street, and whose bodie3 were found first of all in the grewsome search. Only a few witnesses were examined last night, as supplementary to those whose evidence had been heard on the first day of the inquest. The Jury's verdict was: "From the testimony available we are unable to find anyono responsible for the cuve-in." Tho Jurors were: Henry E. Ide. 268 Henry street: (I.

WARDENS TRIED AGAIN LATER. Charge Him Now With Serving Robins as Squabs or Reed Birds. Summoned to Court. As the result of an investigation that has been going on during the past month, Gottlieb Leihbacher, the proprietor of a hotel on Myrtle avenue, near Woodhaven avenue, Glendale, Queens, was served with a summons to-day, ordering him to appear in the Supreme Court of New York County and answer charges of violating tbe gams law of the state. Tho hotel lteper is given twenty days in which to file an answer.

The events leading up to the serving of the summons, are interesting. The game wardens who have been working up the case against the Glendala man thought that they would be able to charge him with having in his possession venison out of season, for tbey obtained an Invitation -card, written In German, bidding all and surrounding country come to Mine Host Leihbacher's hotel on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, December 5. 6 and 7, for on each day would be a "Ilirsch essen," which, being translated, means "venison dinner." Among tho guests on the first day were several correctly dressed men who sat in ono corner of tha dining hall by themselves, and seemed to take an unusual interest in what was being served. Suddenly they arose, darted for tha kitchen, and demanded to see the venison that was being served. They searched the hostelry from collar to garret, but not a bit of deer's flesh did they And.

What they did find, however, were pork tenderloins in abundance, and the host is said to have then confessed that his invitations had been misleading, and that he was serving pork tenderloins instead of venison, "for," said he. "when pork tenderloins are properly rooked, you can't tell 'em apart from venison steaks." Tho game wardens, however, had evi dence in their possession which tended to show, they claim, that Leihbacher had been many robins In his hotel during the past few weeks, both on tha regular menu as squabs or ceed birds, and on tha free lunch counters. They had learned, they say, that once or twice a week parties of Richmond Hill men went Into Forest Park, north of Richmond Hill, between and 8 A.M., and shot hundreds of robins and starlings, in direct violation of the gamo law. These birds, it is claimed, were distributed among certain hotels in Glendale nnd Richmond Hill, and, on Saturday, November 7, Leihbacher Is said to have given a banquet at his hotel, at which tha piece da resistance was made of robius. The guests ware the members of ono of the hunting parties who had shot tho birds, and the game wardens claim that, among those present, wars several borough officials, including a county official, whose office is in Jamaica.

These men may bo proceeded against, but it is thought that they will lake warning from Leihbacher's trouble and keep out of Forest Park hereafter. The chargo of selling robins also implicates tho proprietor of another hotel In Richmond Hill, who also may find himself in a difficulty on account of tha visit to his place of a game warden, The case against Leihbacher is being pressed by the attorneys for the Forest, Fish and Game Commission. The evidence against him was obtained for the roost part by a well known resident of Richmond Hill and a member of the Audubon Society, who exacted the promise that his name would not be disclosed at present. In recognition of his services he has been appointed a special gamo warden, with power to make arrests. ACTO DOES DOUBLE DUTY.

PREDICTS CIVIL WAR IN HAYTI. E. A. Blaenton, Believes More Fighting Will Follow New Administration in Black Republic The Royal Dutch West India Mall steamer Prins Wlllom II, arrived to-day Haytiau ports, and Is now at her pier at the foot of Forty-second street, South Brooklyn. "They got Nord Alexis to the French cruiser at Port au Priuca through a trick," declared First OfUcer Wlllem de Groot, to a representative of the Eagle, this morning.

"The old former president of Haytl thought he was being escorted to a Haytlan gunboat to be taken to Jamaica, but instead be was placed on the French cruiser. It was a trick that was played solely to avert further trouble and bloodshed. Everything seemed to be quiet when we reached Port of Prince last Friday, and St. Marc last Saturday. We had many applications from refugees, but we could not go to a Jamaica port, and they did not want passage to New York, so wo did not take any." The only Haytiau passenger was Edward A.

BInonton, of Philadelphia, who is building a railroad in Haytl. Mr. Blaenton said he believed civil war would follow the new administration, and that the end was not yet in tbe black republic. SPECIAJ, ADVERTISEMENTS. Absolutely Pure Collar looks of a They have make them.
