Bismarck Special: The trial OF the Mar.
quis do Mores. on an indictment for the
murder OF William A. Luffsey,. at Little
Missouri, June 20, 1883, ended Oct. 10,
in verdict OF not guilty. The jury
was out only eight minutes, barely long
enough to comply with instructions
OF the judge as to the form Of find
ing and returning the verdict. The result
was predicted by those present at tho time
who noticed the effect Of the testimony Civ.
en- by De Mores when he took the stand as
witness for the defense. The judges charge
was adverse, for the most part, to the the.
ory for the defense. He charged the jury
that the defendant could not JUS
tify his position in the encounter
by Which Luiisey lost his life,
on the ground that he was assisting the
deputy sheriff; but his going to Mandan for
warrants. his telegram and message to tho
deputy sheriff, and his other acts in con-
nection with the coming Of the sheriff might
be considered as explaining the intention
and motive oi the defendant before and at
the time Of the encounter.
