TRIAL OF FRANK LAWRENCE.
HE rs FOUND "NoT GUIhTr."
Full Report Of the Evidence and Pro-
cecdings during the six Days Trial.
SUMMARY OF PRELIMINARY FACTS.

The trial of Frank Lawrence for the muir
der of his father, Chas. G. Lawrence, began
at special term of court held at Grand
Island, Nob. on Tuesday of last week, May
%, and ended on Monday night of this week
with verdict of mot guilty"
The facts in this case are 30 fresh in the
minds Of all local readers that only the brief
est recaptulation is necessary. In January
last. owing to financial embarrassment and
i'll success in business, Frank Lawrence sud
denly left Swanton Vt. where he had been
keeping hotel and went West. His father
Chas q. Lawrence, was then in Brattleboro
ON a visit, but went Immediately to Swanton
whore Frank sent him tickets with word
to come on to the West. Mr.. Lawrence went
on and joined Frank at Chicago and from
thence the two travelled together westward
en- route as was said, for Denver, Col. They
stopped over ut Des Moines Ia. where at n
hotel, the father received some injury from
storm door striking him in the face. He af-
terward became so seriously i'll that the two
were obliged to stop of at Grand Island,
whore, in a few days, the father died under
circumstances which gave rise to strong To-
cal suspicion that he had been poisoned by
his son with prussc acid, and Frank was nc
cordingly arrested and held for trial. The
friends of Frank here aud at Swanton, how
ever, who were acquainted with his habits
and those Of his father, have never believed
him 10 be guilty of the crim,. The feeling
in Grand Island, it appears, had shown "A
marked change in Franks favor during the
time intervening between his arrest and trial
Our report of the trial is condensed from that
given 10y the Daily Democrat, published at
Grand Island
