New York, Feb. 23. The steamer
Georgianna row during the yacht races
last fall was recalled to-day by the ac
quittal in court of Charles Berry, who
was charged with assault by Charles
Q. Horton of Hartford, Conn., a vet
eran. Horton testified that a fight oc
curred because the boat which had a lot
of gamblers aboard did not go to the
race at all. He was stabbed in the body
and he claims Berry' did it. The de
fense was lack of jurisdiction and the
Jury returned a verdict that the crime,
if any, was not committed within the
jurisdiction of the county and on the
return of the verdict Berry was acquitted.
