THE WARD MURDER TRIALS.
Acquittal of Lair-Probable Change
of Venue.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


GRAND FORKS, July 16.-The charge Of the
court in the Lair case is regarded a strong one
and dead against the defendant After declaring
that the land case cut no figure in the criminal
case at bar the court instructed the jury in this
vigorous language on the theory of self-defence
set up:
If you find from the evidence that after the de-
ceased, Charles Ward, had ceased firing from the
door,he cried out that he gave up or surrendered,
which was heard by those on the outside, and he
was told to come out and did come out and run
from the shack in an attempt to escape, and you
Ead that when some distance from the shack he
was shot and killed, this murder, and nothing
that had occurred previously furnished any justi-
fcation for the killing, either by way of self-de-
fence or otherwise-if this fact be true, the time
for selfdefense to be necessary had passed.
In the Lair case the verdict of ''not guilty.
returned at about II o'clock last night, creates
general surprise. Many indignant remarks were
made. The court held the jury until . this
afternoon for developments. The jury claim
that they acquitted on the ground that he was
reporter of the Inter OCEAN and went to see the
fun and get items, not intending to participate ;
could not satisfy themselves that Lair fired the
fatal shot; did not believe he went there for the
same purpose as the others
No other Of the cases was called to-day. The
ulstrlct attorney ana deputies were busy all day
preparing papers, and the sheriff is out getting
new venire. The defendants are ready and aux-
ious for trial. The Lair jury has been discharged
except II. j. Halbrook, of Grafton, who is held
under recognzance for alleged perjury on Udire
dire. He was sworn to the necessary qualiiica-
tons OF an impartial juror. Alexander McQuan,
of Grafton, now comes and swears he heard the
juror say in June, at Grafton, the Ward boys
ought to have been killed, and have their hearts
sliced out, and other words disqualifyine him
The defense explain that his language was quail
fed motion for a change of venue is expect
ed in the morning. The remaining cases will
probably be removed to Fargo for trial.
