ZIBA C. CURTICE
Canandaigua, April 5 - The death of Ziba C. CURTICE occurred last evening, following an operation yesterday for the removal of gall stones. Mr. CURTICE came to this town from Victor last May to take the undertaking business of O. N. Crane. His pleasing personality gained for him a host of friends in a short time, and his sudden taking off is sincerely regretted. Deceased was aged about 48 years. A widow, three daughters and one son survive, Misses Lola L., Marion and Helen CURTICE, W. Townsend CURTICE. Mr. CURTICE was a leading member of Canandaigua masonic circles.

The sudden death of Ziba C. Curtice at his home in Canandaigua, came as a great shock to the host of friends he possessed in this place. He came to Victor over twenty years ago, shortly after his marriage, and had resided here until last summer. During that long period he was actively engaged in business. For many years he held the office of town clerk, and also that of village clerk and school clerk. He was an active Mason, and was much beloved by his fellow craftsmen.

Possessed of a generous and kindly nature he made friends with all. Not in years has a death so touched the community as has his. On the day following his passing away, all over the village could be found little groups of people conversing over the news with saddened faces. Mr. Curtice was an active member of the Presbyterian church, and had been for years the director of its choir. He had planned to assist the choir once more on Easter Sunday, and it was with much effort that the members sang on that day the selections he had in part chosen for them. A large number of friends from this place attended the funeral on Monday, to assist in paying a last tribute of respect to one so much loved. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the family so bereaved.

NOT A DEFENDANT MEANT ANY DAMAGE

Compliments for Leighton, Lee, Albright, Newman and Downs
The Summing Up Today - Interest Still Continues in the Coercion and Conspiracy case on Trial at Canandaigua - Testimony Yesterday -- ONTARIO

If complimentary declarations as to character and reputation could acquit, the defendants in the Canandaigua conspiracy case would to-day be abroad discharged of the accused crime. As a finale to the long day's work on the defense, Mr. COLMEY produced some twenty of the best known and most reputable citizens of the town to testify to the good character and reputation of the defendants. This closed the defense, and after a little rebuttal testimony, which Judge RICE assured the court should occupy over half of this morning, the case will go to the jury, which Judge RICE expects to find a verdict before to-morrow night.
The defendants, Peter LEIGHTON, Charles W. LEE, Solomon ALBRIGHT, Fred I.NEWMAN and John DOWNS, were placed on the stand during the day and told their stories. All asserted that they were ignorant of having committed an act that could be construed as a crime, in their dealings with any firm declared "unfair" to union organization.

Mr. COLMEY, of counsel for the defense, opened the case at the convening of court yesterday at 9 o'clock. He said he was prepared to produce evidence that would refute any charges of conspiracy or coercion, and would show that his clients were charged with no crime, and that all of their acts had been legal and orderly.

The first witness was Peter LEIGHTON, the president of the local No. 425, Retail Clerks' Protective Association, who told of the union movement in town, the inception of local No. 425, under his direction, and testified that the original intention in the organization of that union was to secure earlier closing hours and thus some relief to overworked employees. He told of his futile efforts to secure the co-operation of F. W. KINDE, who absolutely refused to treat with the union. He then told of the composition of the circular, or "yellow dodger," on which it was stated that the two firms of Bates Brothers and Kinde were "unfair," had discharged, union labor and employed non-union labor, and making various charges against the firms mentioned. On cross-examination the witness acknowledged that he was not well informed as to the employment of non-union men, and that there had been some doubt about other charges made. He also acknowledged that he had never heard Mr. KINDE "run down" the union. He supposed he and others had a right to seek to secure the co-operation of Mr. KINDE in the closing early scheme or to try and compel him to accede to union demands by legitimate means, and he did not consider the means he and his conferees used were other than legitimate. He acknowledged that he meant to injure the business of Mr. KINDE, if he did not accede to union demands.

John H. DALY told of a conversation had with John KINDE, in which the latter told the former and others that his brother, F. W. KINDE, had told him to look for another job.

Charles W. LEE, Solomon ALBRIGHT and John DOWNS, three other defendants told of the visit to the Kinde store, as a grievance committee of the local unions, to confer there with Mr. KINDE with a view to an amicable settlement. They said they were there unable to come to such settlement. They did not think any act here or any subsequent act toward Mr. KINDE criminal. Mr. ALBRIGHT acknowledged on cross-examination by Judge RICE, that if he had thought anything about it he must have known that the action of the union in placing Mr. KINDE on the unfair list was a practical boycott.

Fred L. NEWMAN, the other defendant is the one who secured the printing of the yellow dodgers. As secretary of the central labor union he was ordered to procure the printing of the circular. He was obeying orders and though he was all right in doing so. he gave out a few of them, when printed, to Peter LEIGHTON and one other union man. The remainder he retained in his custody of a short time when he was warned to destroy them and did so. He stated that he was given the copy for the dodger by Peter LEIGHTON, the president of the clerks' union. Witness then believed that all of the charges of "unfairness" against the complainant, KINDE, were true.

The examination of all of these men occupied nearly the whole of yesterday, the cross-examinations by Judge RICE, for the people, being very rigid and eliciting many admissions that seemed eminently satisfactory to the attorneys for the prosecution. The principal endeavor was to secure the acknowledgment of all that they knew they were damaging the business of the alleged "unfair" firms, and especially of the complainant, KINDE. The admissions where secured were invariable qualified by the assertions that there was no intent to injure.

Joseph M. FRANCISCO, a well-known Canandaiguan, who happened to be in the big crowd at the KINDE store, the night of November 19th last, when Mr. KINDE kept open till 8 P. M., in accordance with the agreement of a number of merchants and to which he and one or two others were all that had the tem_rity to comply, stated that he saw no such disturbance as was attested by several of the people's witnesses. He was positive that he saw none of the defendants in the crowd, but could not name any of the other members of the crowd.

Then came the testimony as to general reputation and good character of the defendants, for which purpose they called the following citizens: William R. MARKS, merchant; George N. PARMELE, county treasurer; William H. FOSTER, merchant; Simon VORREUTER, merchant; L. L. SMITH, miller; John STEVENS, merchant; E. W. SIMMONS, merchant; George BOOTH, ex-police captain; T. C. PARKHURST, police justice; Frank R. BEECHER, ex-postmaster; Dr. Lot D. SUTHERLAND, dentist; L. MUTSCHLER, meat dealer; Royal R. SCOTT, ex-district attorney; Charles C. SACKETT, deputy revenue collector; George L. GUNNISON, farmer; N. E. HUTCHENS, attorney; John RAINES, Jr., postmaster; William H. WARFIELD, president of the village. Few of these were examined by the prosecution. Judge RICE only asking
one or two if they were affected by the early closing system now in vogue. One of these, E. W. SIMMONS, said he was sure he would object, if compelled to close at 7:30. As Mr. SIMMONS is a druggist and soda water dispenser, his remark,
though natural enough, created some amusement in the court room.

This morning, there will doubtless be an even larger attendance than at any session yet, for the summing up of this interesting case will be followed closely by lovers of oratory and they will be well rewarded. It is seldom that two such effective orators are pitted against each other in a legal debate as are Hon. John B. STANCHI_D, Elmira's honored citizen, and Hon. Frank RICE, ex-secretary of state, and one of Canandaigua's most eloquent and convincing speakers.

Judge RICE was inclined to insist upon the closing up of the case last evening, but Mr. RICE declared that he was totally unprepared to submit the final evidence in proper form and after considerable discussion between attorney's and the court, the latter peacefully acknowledged Judge RICE's claim and gave him till this morning for the final touches to what is generally considered a carefully conducted and speedily concluded case.

Charles HOWCROFT and Miss Liza McBRIDE, of Fairport, formerly of Honeoye, were married at Rochester Thursday afternoon.

VERDICT WAS FOR ACQUITTAL

Unexpected End of Canandaigua Coercion Case Even to Defendants
Jury Took Over Five Hours to Decide the Problem
Brilliant Legal Play - Counsels' Summing up Worthy of the Large Attendance Attracted and
Complimentary Criticism Called Forth - Eloquent Review and Charge - ONTARIO

The Canandaigua conspiracy trial is at an end. The case went to the jury at 1 P. M. yesterday, and the jury returned a verdict of acquittal at 6:30. The verdict was a great surprise to all, even the defendants.
At an early hour the court house was filled with a throng in which there were a large proportion of women. The announcement that of the best pleuders of the New York state bar were to be pitted against each other attracted this throng, which was repaid for its attendance, as seldom in the annals of Ontario county courts has there been a similarly brilliant legal battle, of which the
proceedings yesterday were a fittingly spectacular finale. There was some uninteresting rebuttal and surrebuttal at the opening of the court at 9 o'clock, three witnesses being sworn. Then both sides announced that they rested.
At 9:30 Hon. John B. STANCHFIELD, the silver-tongued orator of Chemung county, arose and proceeded with his polished and scholarly address. His remarks were complete in rhetorical and oratorical effect. He gracefully acknowledged the indebtedness of the counsel to the jury for their attention and paid a fitting tribute, albeit a gushing one, to his opponent, Mr. RICE, who assisted the district attorney and who was to follow him in debate.
He commented upon the burden the complainant had brought upon the taxpayers of the county by instituting criminal proceedings, when the speaker contended civil action would have brought as much or greater relief. He endeavored to impress the jury with the idea that in such procedure there was a significant array of money against the poor laboring man; he arrayed the rich against the poor, and infused considerable political flavor into his remarks, so much so that in following him Judge RICE raised an audible smile in the court room by saying the remarks were familiarly similar to those made at Canandaigua during the Elmiran's gubernatorial campaign last fall.
Mr. STANCHFIELD claimed that his clients had committed no crime, that, even if their acts were apparently criminal, they were done without malice pretense. In the issuance of the damaging circular there may have been libel, but no conspiracy or coercion, as charged.
Mr. RICE began his address at 10:30 o'clock. He in turn thanked the jury for their courtesies. He did not feel inclined to accept all the taffy fed him by Mr. STANCHFIELD, but was willing to accord to him the courteous treatment that all visitors to Canandaigua, whether in or out of the courts of justice, invariably receive. He remarked upon the fact that while Ontario county was satisfied with home talent for the trial of its cases, the defendants felt the necessity of securing such able services as only Elmira's ablest son and one of the most distinguished and successful attorneys of the state could render them in their adversity.
Judge RICE then gave what is considered by competent judges to have been one of the most comprehensive and convincing reviews of testimony ever presented to an Ontario county jury, neglecting no small detail in the chain of evidence wherein the strength of his case might be increased. "That was the crowning effort of Judge RICE'S legal career," said one hearer, as the speaker sat down at 1:20 o'clock. In the next twenty minutes Judge RICH, who throughout has given eminent satisfaction in his handling of the jurisdiction of the court to all concerned, presented his brief but concise and convincing charge to the
jury. He told the jurors they must lay aside all prejudice, discharge their duties fearlessly and abide by the evidence and the facts and be swayed by neither argument or charge in coming to their decision. He instructed them as to the rights of laboring men under peaceable conditions, and warned them that it was for them to determine whether or not peaceable means were utilized altogether in this case. He said the circulars in controversy were not to be considered as constituting a factor in the crime of conspiracy, but in their circulation the motive and intent should be considered.
At 1:30 P. M., after a number of requests from both attorneys to charge,Judge RICH ordered the officers to conduct the jury to their deliberations. Thereafter during the afternoon an anxious throng hung about momentarily expecting a decision. When it was received the defendants were summoned by a crowd of friends from whom they received hearty congratulations. They treated the jury to a sumptuous banquet at the Webster House later.

THEY'RE TOO SLIPPERY
Escape of Three More Prisoners From Work on Canandaigua Highway

The attempt to maintain the prison labor law is causing the public highway officials no little trouble in Ontario county. Three more prisoners escaped yesterday while under the care of Commissioner HAIRE at work on the east lake shore highway. This is the third time prisoners employed on the roads have escaped from custody.
Yesterday morning eight men were taken to the lake shore and placed in the commissioner's care. Early in the afternoon they escaped. Word was sent to Canandaigua to Sheriff EDMONSTON, and he started out on a still hunt. He found two of the men, Eugene SOULES and Charles HUNT, but the third, Martin WELCH, was not captured at the last reports. The men HUNT and SOULES are both Genevans. They have both escaped before while employed on the "chain gang," and they will not have another chance to work on the roads unless they are really anchored with ball and chain.

PIANO FACTORY MOVE ?
There is some prospect of Geneva having a new industry in the shape of a piano factory. The board of trade has the matter under consideration. The moving spirit is Malcolm LOVE, formerly at the head of the Malcolm LOVE piano factory at Waterloo. Mr. LOVE has disposed of his interest in that concern and is now considering the feasibility of a factory at Geneva. Some New York capitalists are said to be interested with him. According to present plans they will furnish $25,000 and Mr. LOVE an equal amount starting off with a capital of $50,000.
