trade at the muzzle of a pistol. The
case was tried and resulted in a hung
jury last September. 1t was again
taken up last week and occupied two
days. Crowder was defended by
Capt. G. W. Duvsll, of Princeton,

Kinsolving is county attorney at
Hartford and is an exceptionally

his usual vigor but the jury after
hanging for day and night brought
In a verdict of not guilty. Crowder

at getting out of what threatened to
be very serious scrape for them.
They of course claimed that they
snapped animals with Wood and
also claimed that they paid him So
