that they had reached a verdict and
that this was the acquittal of the de

It had been predicted by those who
had followed the trial throughout
that the Jury would remain out hut

that this would have been the case
but for one man.

a late hour last night. Retiring at

turelve "good man and true" analysed
the case among themselves for twen

acquittal.
