morning reported TO the court that

shall, with q bench warrant, is now at
Pine Ridge, to secure him. The de-
fense offered to continue at once, how
ever, IL the prosecution would admit
the testimony Of Captain Llewellyn
Of Sioux City, as 1t was given at the
former trial. This was 20 the effect
that the prisoner had told him Casey
had threatened, during = ride on the
morning of his death to destroy Red
Clouds camp. The prosecution agreed
to this. This afternoon the court
charged the jury to bring in q verdict
acquitting Plenty Horses, and it was
done, and he 10 now free.

and despondent.
No iDkliDg Of the sudden termina
tion Of the case had been given and at
2 o'clock when the court convened,
the attorneys were preparing to COM
mence their argument when Judge
Siras laid: There il no need ofgOing
any furthur with this case. What L
shall cay is the opinion Of this court,
but not Of my colleague. 1t is said on
my own responsibility"
The judge then read In substance
that the guilt or innocence Of accused
turned upon the question Asio whether
or not state of actual war existed al
the time Of Casey's death. In the
opinion Of the court il has been showr
beyond a doubt that such n state Oi
war did exist. Immediately after ad-
journmenf, Plenty Horses was sur
rounded by lsdie. and other spectators
who shook bands with him for soln,
time, after which Attorney Porte
with beaming face, led his still silen
aud undemOnstrative client to his no

time in writing autographs for the by

papers from the war department, bear
ing upon the circumstances previou
to and at the time Of Casey's death
and although the docuIDsnts bad onl

was Of the same character.
