ETHEL ACQUITTED.
She May Have Been Morally
Guilty, but a Legal Case Was
Not Made Uut-Sympa-
thy for the Pretty
Prisoner.

Terre Haute, Jan. 20.-Tbe jury
in the case against Ethel Towne, for
forgery, at 7:30 o'clock last night re-
turned verdict of mot guilty" The
Jury took FIVE ballots, and until the
last ballot stood ten for acquittal
and two for C InviciiOn, Jurors Clay
and Wilson holding out. The jury
retired at $50 in the afternoon. 1t
was not expected that they would re-
main out very long, owing to the
instructions of Judge Taylor, who
sustained the view of the law adj
vanced by the defense, and, as the
minutes grew into hours, it began TO
look as if there would be disagree
ment.
The fair prisoner passed bad day,
suffering greatly from nervous pros
tration. She had one fainting spell
this morning and two this afternoon,
all of them, however, occurring in
anterooms and not 10 the presence of
the jury. She was not taken to jail
to-day, but was allowed to remain in
the court house. She was assisted
into court this evening to hear read
the finding of the jury. When the
verdict acquitting her was read she
frightened up and threw her head and
arms down on the table. AS the
jurors passed her she shook each one
of them by the hand and thanked
them.
Public sympathy was strongly in
favor of her aeauittal: not that anv;
ANY guilty of uttering the forged
check, but the public believed she
had already been punished enough
by her sc days in Jail. Along with
this was her youth, good looks and
general intelligence. 1t was also true
that the state did not make out a
legal case against her of uttering the
forged check, the court instructing
the jury that if Landlord Baur knew
at the time the check was presented
to him by the girl that it was fraud
ulent and worthless, then there could
be no fraud perpetrated on him. and
consequently no injury to him, and
hence no legal case of uttering a
forged check against the prisoner.
The court instructed the jury that
mere attempt to utter forged check
was not enough, no matter how
strong the intent; that there must
have been at the time a possibility
hat the person on whom the check
vas passed could be defrauded. There
has been some controversy as to
whether this position is well sustained,
,ut the best lawyers here agree that
he decisions support it.
