THE jury in the case of Dick Liddell,
on trial at Huntsville, Ala, for participa-
ton in the robbery of Alexander Smith at

guilty. Liddell proved that he was in Ken.
lucky at the time of the robbery, which, he
said, was committed by Frank and Jesse
James and Bill Ryan, who were hiding from
officers. He admitted that he at other
times and places had run and robbed with
the bandits. The verdict is peculiar one.
1t recites belief in Liddell's statements, but
says he is guilty of conspiracy nevertheless.
The Court suspended sentence and fixed
81, 500 bond for the prisoners appearance at
the next term. The action is said TO be
taken to avoid fixing on Liddell the imputa-
ton of sentence and conviction, as he is a
valuable witness in several other cases
against the James band, and may also be
needed to testify against Frank James,
should the latter be put on trial for the Mus
sci Shoals robbery. 1t is expected that Lid
dell will, for this reason, either receive a
pardon or that sentence will be indefinitely
postponed.
