The St. Louis Excitement.

A KENTUcK1AN ACQUITTED OF FIRST
CLASS MURDER.
Although it was generally believed
throughout the city that the verdict of
the jury in the Fore case was an &C
quittal, yet the people were so anxious
to ascertain the fact beyond doubt
that they crowded around the court
room long before the hour of opening,
and patiently awaited the arrival of
the hour when the verdict would be
announced.
When the doors were thrown open,
the multitude rushed in, and were so
noisy in their demonstrations, that
Judge Primm refused to allow the ver-
dict to be delivered, and had the regu-
lar docket called until better order
prevailed.
} When the prisoner entered lie was
; leaning on the arm of Colonel Normile,
. and followed by his wife and Mr..
Garesche.
J The roll of the jury was called, and
the verdict of "not guilty" was read by
the clerk.
The Circuit Attorney had the jury
} polled, and appeared me- W h t
chagrined and disappointed when all
of them answered that the verdict read
was theirs.
Fore sat pale and tremulous, his
wife's head resting lovingly on his
bosom. But few words were spoken,
. but there was a buzz of qualification
! among the spectators that would have

t of applause had not the stern Judge
commanded silence.
t The prisoner and the jury were
D formally discharged. Fore and his
!, wife and Colonel Normile entered a
}, carriage, and Messrs. Garesche and
8 Colcord jumped into another, and were
d driven to the Southern Hotel. There
n the lawyers gave free vent to their
e feelings of exultation, and number Of
