Yet Was Acquitted.


Leon W Waters, who was charged with
embezzling $12 from Dairyman John
Green, for whom ne was a driver, gave a
start of surprise when the jury yesterday
returned verdict of not guilty in his case

wrote two letters confessing his crime.
He also said he had been to Baltimore
with another mans watch, and had told
the broker TO whom he pawned il he was
afraid officers from Washington would
be after him.
The letters and other evidence were put
before the jury, and apparently a per
fectly plain case was made out. But Waters
told story on the stand of poverty and
distressing need OF the money. which seemed
to touch the Jurors hearts. His tota
theft amounted to $50 He was arrested
in Baltimore on charge of passing coun-
terfeit money, but this he denied.
