STEINHEILITIB.
PARIS BECOMES DELIRIOUS. JOY OVER PRISONER'S ACQUITTAL. SCENES IN THE STKEETS AND j IN COURT. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received November 16, 8.25 a.m.) ; PARIS, 15th November. The leading Parisian newspapers kept motor-cars outside the court in order to bring them news of the result of the Steinheil murder trial. When the verdict was announced th? cars raced through the streets, journalists and chaffeurs wildly shouting the news of Madame Steinheil's acquittal. Men and women in the Montmartre cafes danced and kissed each other. A state of semi-delirium prevailed, resembling "Mafeking night" in London a few years ago. The pent-up emotion in the court resulted in a roar of "Bravos." Barristers threw up their caps and climbed on to the benches, waving their handkerchiefs. The jury acquitted Madame Steinheil by nine votes to three.
