It wae veTy generally known that there -was no ?vase of ??njse tor the criminal provocation as the psfcllc knew that the death of Mr. Rlngold, a n onr seventy year* of age, was due to ? rory unfortunate accident which conld not have been prevented. At tli? conclusion of all the evidence In the trial at New Btern Judge Connor announced that he wonld d tract the Jury to return a verdict of not guflty as there was no evi dence to sustain the charge that had ?been made and as It appeared from all of the evidence that the case was a pure accident. The triaJ of the case was begun Monday afternoon and all of the eye witnesses to the accident were examined either Iby the Stale or the defendant. All of the evidence showed that young Bingham passed the old man on the road leading from New Bern, both going in the mom direction, and that after Be ogham bad passed him his horse became frightened and ran sway, throwing Mr. Ringold and his wife Who was In the buggy with him out in a ditch. From this fall th' deceased received an Injury to his back and, after being carried to s. hospital by Ban f ham. developed puei^uAmta rwbVft* r<Mtfted Jin his ^ death several weeks afterwards. The evidence Introduced at the trial showed that young Bangham was not driving recklessly and that th*?re was no truth In the suggestion that , bad been made that he ran into the buory. The result of the trial' wan to prove that the criminal charge that had been made against young Bangham was preferred without un derstanding of the (sets In the mat ter and was almost ridiculous, al though the accident was very un fortunate *nd regrettable. This paper by mistake referred to the accident ss causing the death of a child. In which It wss confused, as the deceased wss sn old man over seventy years of age. 11 Is quite probable that but for the sge and Infirmity of the deceased the accident would not have hap pened aa he would have been iti? to have controlled his horse and prevented the runaway.
