| San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 3O-This communi-
ty was thrown into state of Indignation that it is
impossible to describe, by the jury in the case
Mrs. Laura D. Fair, this morning bringing in a
verdict of mot guilty The circumstances Of
this case are well remembered. Mrs. Fair, who,
it is alleged, was the mistress of Hon. A P. Crit
tenden, met him in the presence of his own wife
en- steamer near this city in November, 1870, and
deliberately shot him dead. She was arrested and
in the summer OF 1871 was tried, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged. new trial was asked
for and granted, and now she is acquitted and dis
charged from custody. It was plainly case of
deliberate, premeditated murder and the fact that
she killed her victim is undoubted and unquea.
toned The feeling very naturally is that the
jury was bribed, and that justice has been out
ragged. The plea in her behalf on the second trial
was that of insanity, but nobody who has ever
seen or convcrsed with her believes her insane.
She is a cunning, but very malicious woman, ard
now goes out to entrap some other man in her
meshes. AS soon as the verdict of the Jury was
announced. this moring, the officers once released
her. Not since the days of the Vigilance Com
mittee's operations has there been so much ex-
element in San Francisco as there is to-day over
this acqutal.

hammers, and oil tanks tapped. Some are stiII
strongly holding out against it, but it is thought
they Will yet y1led. The effect Of this movement
is already felt in the advanced and more active
market.
