once notified, and the defendant was brought
into the Courtroom with his attorney, High

great number crowded the Railways and
street below.
THE VERDICT.
At five minutes to the jury took their
seats and the roll of names was called.
The Court-Gentlemen of the jury, have
you agreed upon verdict?

Instead of replying, Mr.. Earl handed the

1. M. Kalloch.'"
The Clerk-Gentlemen of the jury, listen to
your verdict [readingl: "We, the jury in the
case of the people of the State of California
VS.. 1. M. Kalloch, do find upon the plea of
former acquittal second, we find the defend
ant not guilty"
The defendant sprang to his feet, and was
at once surrounded by group of friends, who
shook him vigorously by the hand. The
Court thanked the jury. after which Mr..
Highton asked that the defendant be dis.
charged. The Court so ordered and the
Court then adjourned.
The news of the acquittal spread like wild
fire, and on its reception in the packed corri-
dor below mighty yell rose up. Men shook
each other by the hands and hustled each
other about, and as the crowd poured into the
street it was warmly received
THE BALLOTS.
On the first ballot the jury stood eight for
acquittal and four for conviction. On the
next ballot nine voted for acquittal and three
for conviction. There was no change in this
until shortly before the Court convened this
afternoon, when the three for conviction came
over. One juror stated that the ground on
which the acquittsl was found was self-de-
tense and not insanity.
UPON the STREET.
An eyewitness reports that when the car
riage containing young Kalloch was seen it
was surrounded by a crowd, which rapidly
became denser. The feeling manifested was
one of delight. Each individual seemed to
make it personal matter, and crowded to-
ward the windows of the carriage to catch
glimpse of the victor in the long struggle,
and to clasp his hands. Then murmur
arose, "Take off the horse-Let US pull him
home-Catch hold here"-and similar cries
were heard. By this time the streets and
sidewalks were packed, swayed by one i'm.
pulse, and grasping the carriage it swung
forward by little jerks and starts, pausing as
Kalloch recognized one and another of his
friends and waived his hands to them.
The route of procession was along Mont
gomery street, through New Montgomery to
Mission and out Mission to Twenty first.
There was much cheering from the sidewalks
and waving of handkerchiefs from the win
dows of houses and the Lick, Palace and
other hotels.
RECEIPT OF THE NEWS AT HONE.
AS soon as he heard the verdict Dr. Kalloch
started for home to announce the news to his
sons mother, wife and friends, who had been
waiting the verdict with agonizing suspense.
The scene when the Doctor told the result
was intensely affecting, many present offer
ing outspoken prayers of thankfulness. Short
ly afterwards some thousand residents of the
Mission gathered around Dr. Kalloch's house,
the news of the result of the trial having
spread over that section like wildfre, and
many congratulations were offered the fam
lily. The motley procession escorting young
Kalloch was not long in reaching the house,
when the crowd, which numbered thousands,
opened and allowed the young
man to descend from his carriage. Sheriff
friends gathered Immediately around, while
his father came down the steps to receive
him. The latter became 80 much af-
fected that he could not walk up the
steps. but had to be supported by his father,
who almost carried his son. The reception
in the house, as may be imagined, was
affecting beyond description. After while
the assemblage called for young Kalloch, who
showed himself and thanked the assemblage
for their sympathy, and said he would reside
among them hereafter, and so live as to show
his friends how he valued their appreciation
After hearty cheers for DIR. Kalloch and his
son, and listening to remarks from several
speakers the major portion of the crowd
dispersed, though quite number of persons
