HILLsBoRo, Jan. AT O'Clock to
night the jury came into court and rem
dered the following verdict: 1--WE the
jury find the defendants not guilty.
Judge Phillips stated before the verdict
was read that no sign of appreciation or
dissent would be tolerated from the au
dience. The reading, therefore, was
received with silence. The defendants
were congratulated by their friends
The feeling as to the verdict is very much
divided. A rumor was circulated during
the early part of the night that a mob had
left Litchfield, neighboring town, for
the purpose of lynching, but so far they
have failed to appear. The night is bitter
cold and very unfavorable for outdoor
operations. The defendants remain with
the jury tonight in the court house All
is quiet at the present writing-mid
night.
