Tho Jury Acquits Emerson of tho
Charge Of Murder Notes,
SANTA ANA, April 1.-The first ques-
tion asked by nearly every person this
morning was "has the jury agreed
yet" referring to the Emerson trial.
No case has created 80 much interest in
Santa Ana for long time IS the one
Just finished. The jury went ont yeeter-
day at IL 80 a. m. and as every body who
had heard the evidence expected Emer-
con to be acquitted, the people all
waited in the court room expecting the
jury to be out only few minutes, but
four of them were not satisfied to acquit
until about 10 O'Clock last night. The
jury called for the judge, who explained
some point of law that settled the whole
thing. and Immediately they agreed to
6nd Geo. l.. Emerson not guilty OF
murder as charged. but he was justified
in killing the Mexican to save the life OF
brother. The verdict gives general
satisfaction. We have failed to find one
person who think it should be other
wise. There was general hand shaking
when George Emerson and his brother
Lewis met their friends on the street this
morning. The four iurvmen who were
not in favor of acquittal are all good
men and are not to be censured because
they did not see things as the other
eight men did, but after certain points
were explained to them by the Judge
they we're willing TO come over and
make it unanimous for acquittal. 1t
