Simmons Acquitted.
" The trial of Seth Simmons for
bnrghiry in the second degree ended
Saturday night in a verdict o( ac
quttal. Tin c.nae took over three
days to try it and was fought hard
oil both sides from start to finish.
Nessrs. Chus. F. Warren and .Steph
en Bragaw represented tho 'defend
ant and Mr. li. B, Nicholson aui
Mr. H. S. Ward the State; The
leading speeches were made by Mr.
Chas. F. Warren and Mr. II. S.
Ward. Both ere masterful efforts.;
Mr. Ward'o speech has elicited more
comment and compliments than any
heard here -'for a longtime. The
verdict was a surprise to a majority
of our pcoplo while there are many
who beleive the vordict a righteous
one. There was a large crowd in
the court house at 8:30 o'clock, p.
in., when the verdict was rendered
and many applauded ir, which whs
stopped at once by the Judge. The
defendant went to the yr.y box and
shook : hands with each juror and
showed signs of much gratefulness.
The evidence' was of '-so eh a 'nature
that'the jury could have rendered a
verdict either way and not have laid
themsolves open to sober criticism.
They thought the State had failed
to connect Simmons with the crime
without a reasonable doubt. Wash
