The Jury's Verdict in the Celebrated
Campbell Divorce Case.


LONDON, Dec 22-At the close Of Justice
Butts instructions the jury in the Camp
bell divorce case retired Monday but after
a short absence returned and said they were
unable to agree. The justice gave them
few additional instances and they again re-
tired and returned at 10 o'clock with yer.
dict They found that Lord Colin Campbell
had not committed adultery, and that Lady
Colin had not committed adultery with any
of the correspondents The jury added
rider that the conduct of Gen. Butler was
unworthy of gentleman and an officer, and
had caused the only difficulty which the jury
experienced in reaching a decision. The
newspapers in their comments on the Camp
bell trial express the opinion that although
the verdict is unsatisfactory the jury could
have come to no other conclusion, and that
the case shows the necessity of an alteration
of the divorce proceedings in the direction of
camera trials
Justice Butt granted Lady Campbell ESQ
costs in her suit for divorce against her hus-
band, and full costs of her defense against
her husbands suit for divorce The justice
also granted the duke of Marlborough, Chief
Shaw and DIR. Bird, full costs of their de-
fense Gen. Butler did not apply for costs.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.


RICHMOND, Va, Dec. q. Mrs. Richard
Shmnick, the deserted wife of liquor-sellei
who went west from here some months ago,
charges that she saw Shinnick murder a man
in his bar-room one night last fall, rifle the
body of roll of money, and throw the corpse
into an old well under the floor The police
are searching the premises and have tele-
graphed to Cincinnati officers to arrest Shin
nick
Last fall j. NJ Carroll, city treasurer OF
Stanton, and ". H. Crawford, clerk Of
Bland county, left their home for Richmond,
since which time neither of them has ever
been heard from, and the belief is strongly
prevalent that one of these was Shinnick's
victim. The wife's description of the MUIR
dered man in some respects agrees with the
appearance of both, but chiefly with that of
Crawford.
Shinnick has been discovered in the Gin
cinnati work-house where he was placed two
months ago for disorderly conduct. He will
be held for the Richmond authorities.
