La PLATA, Md, July 16.-Mrs. Bella
Farrall, accused of the murder Of her
husband, was acquitted this afternoon.
Judge Mitchell, for the State, concluded
his argument at 1890. and after receiv-
ing brief ipstruc lions from Judge Bris-
coe, the jury retired. At 1:3O the
twelve men arrived at conclusion. The
excitement in court when the verdict
was announced was intense.
The judge looked grsver than at any
time before or during the trial. There
was no indication In the faces of the
jurors what the verdict would be. The
Messrs. FArrall, brothers of the man
whom Mrs Farrall was charged with
numbering, sat back In the audience,
fully believing the woman guilty and
hoping for verdic. OF murder.
When Clerk Turner read the verdict
there was stiffness as the crowd waited
eagerly for the announcement. When
It's import had been understood q re-
markable scene ensued. Mrs. Farrall
broke down and wept for JOY. She be-
came hysterical, She sprang to meet
Colonel Wilmer, her chief counsel, who

ne ok and kissed him.
Judge Briscoe had enjoined that there
be no demonstrations Of approval or
disappointment at the announcement OF
the verdict, but there was no restraints
ing the crowd. Hearty applause burst
OFT and sweep. spontaneously over the
audience. Friends OF Mrs. Farrell gath
cred around her and congratulations
were showered on her. In all the ex-
cited crowd nobody was happier than
Court Bailiff Hicks, Mrs. Farrelps
brother-in-law. He has listened closely
to all the evidence, and has asserted
her innocence clear through.
The news quickly spread through the
village and knots of men stood discussing
1t. General approval was expressed at
the verdict. 1t Is understood the Jury
arrived at the verdict with very little
discussion. There was not much aentir
ment among either spectators or Jurors
In favor Of a conviction.
Mrs. Farrall looks much broken now
that the case is over. The long strain
has ended, and her nerves show the eff
fects OF It, She has kept her self-pos-
session remarkably, but 1t has been a
heroic effort The trial has proved one
