 Wm. Wilson, charged with em- bezZlement, was acquitted in the l Garland circuit court at Hot Springs Wednesday. Wilson was the duly elected democratic coroner of Gar land county at the time of the killing of J. II. Wright by Tom Dennis last January, and received from the dead body of Wright certain valuables which he failed to turn over in toto to Wright's widow until after his ar rest for their embezZlement. Wilson was bound over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $500. He gave bond and retained his liberty until he was caught leaving town. when his bondsmen gave him up and he was put in jail. He once effected his escape from jail by digging through the wall. but was recaptured next day and until his trial, was kept more closely confined. The chief plea of the defense was that Wilson was a dipsOmaniac and made series of blunders in transferring the valuables to Mrs. Wright.
