NOT GUILTY.
Verdict of the Jury in the Professor Moore
Murder Trial at Weatheriord-Met
dist Church Completed.


Special to the Gazette.
WKaTHERFoKD. PARKER County, Ten,
June - - The case of the state
VS.. Professor ". c. Moore,
charged with murder, which has
been on trial for the last three days in the
district court here, was given to the jury ut
about half past two this afternoon, and
after being out about two hours the jury
returned verdict Of not guilty.
The GAZETTE correspondent learned from
one of the iurymrn that when they first
went into the Jury room ten were for ac-
uuttal one for manslaUghter and five
wears in the penitentiary, and the other for
murder in the second degree and seven
years in the penitcntiary: the jury for man
slaughter soon joined the ten for acquit-
tai aud after 50 long the other turned,
rather than hang the jury. The verdict as
above was the result.
This was quite an important case On ac-
count of the prominence of the defendant,
he being one of the prominent teachers Of the
county \ great number of the prominent
people of PoOlville where the affair Oc-
CURED were in attendance on the trial,
some seventy-tive is witnesses and some as
spectators Il is found that the end has
not yet come. as it is well Ynown fact
that the prejudice both for and against the
defendant is very high, ard that. too,
among the best people of tine community.
During the stay of the parties in this city
on one or two occasions serious trouble was
very narrowly avertSd between the fac
tons. Should ii begin it would be big
community row.
The Methodist church is uow about COM
pieted. II is one of the incest church build
ings in this part or the state, built OF stone
with modern architecture, at cost OF
nearly $4,000. The furniture for the
church has arrived, and was to-day placed
in the building, both pulpit and pews.

row, and from thence on
The engineer of the J. II. Brown IL Co.
syndicate arrived here to-day and Laid off
the ground for the ninety inch Moss COM
press to be erected here by that company.
They will begin the foundation of the press
Monday.
Sad news reached Mr. w. NJ. Ellington,
one OF the jurors III the Moore murder case,
this evening just before the jury was dis
missed by the court. His little child, only
a few years old, was playing with a pair Of
scissors or shears - his home in the cOun-
try. about eight miles northwest of this
city, when it fell- on the scissors, which
penetrated its bowels. and the child was
fast dying when the messenger left there
to bring the sad news to the child's father.

sermons that will be delivered in the city

missionary to the Indians at Anadarko, |.
T, and who represents the Woman's
board of missions, at the First Methodist
church on Fourth street at II O'Clock this
morning Rev. Methvin is not only an in
teresting speaker, but he will bring to his
aid the benefit of years of experience in
the missionary field, and his labors among
the Indians will be of interest here, mas
much as the Indians. though among us and
of US are yet virtually foreigners.
In the evening addresses will be delivered
by Mrs NJ. D. Wightman and Miss Maria
L. Gibson in the interest of the work of the
women. Both of these ladies are fine
speakers, and a treat is in store.
