AS If to torment it seemed. though
IN reality it was not dreamed of, the
jury came back the second time to be
charged on, to them, ambiguous por-
ton of the law. At last the arbiters
OF Hudson's fate announced that
they were ready to render their YER
dict, and amid silence that was op-
pressive the jury filed in, took their
seats and handed in their opinion in
the case which was, mot guilty"
For brief period the stiffness of
death hung Ger the courtroom,
neither the accused nor the audience
fully appreciated the result of the
trial, but the silence was suddenly
broken by the cheers of the defendants
and family's friends, which an
nounced that the prisoner was no
longer prisoner, but free man.
This verdict was unexpected to the
public generally. In fact, it was a
great surprise, an unexpected shock.
1t was thought that at the least a
verdict of manslaughter would b,
brought in, but it was not SO and the
order by the judge to release Hudson
completed the second chapter in the
case of the State of Louisiana versus
Aleck Hudson, for the murder Of
Rufus Taylor, on September 8, 1892.
The third and last, it is to be hoped,
will be found in another part of this
paper.
