Then the woman bowed herself off the

WILCOX WAS TwENTY-NINE.
On the Day the Jury Declared Him
Innocent of MurtIer

When Clerk Mcclure arose in Judge
Hunes court Friday afternoon and with a
slight treFnor in his voice announced tina;
jury OF twelve American citizens had
pronounced William A. Wilcox innocent
OF the crime of killing Charlotte Fetting.
he did not realize that he was giving the
prisoner the greatest birthday present he
ever received. The fact OF the matter was
that Wilcox was - years old the day he
was acquitted. For eighteen long months
he had lain in jail under the ban OF the
law, but never once during that time did
he ever give up the idea that he would
eventually be a free man. Saturday after
noon Wilcox visited the municipal court
with his friend. O. G. FenlaSon, OF Taco
ma, who has stood by him through thick
and thin. and at the close of court went
away with Attorney Winstock.
In talking with a Post-Intelligencer re-
porter about his plans for the future VIII
cox said: IT may stay in this city and go
into business. or possibly return TO Taco
ma and work in the box factory"
Mr.. Fenlason, who is the head man In
the box factory, added: Yes. he can have
his old position back any time he wants il.
IL he does not take IL he will probably
represent US in this city. / think that a
great injustice has been done Mr. Wilcox.
1 have known him for years and have
never had the slightest doubt about his In
nocence. He started in with me at Mon
tague, Mich, in 1882, and then went with
me 10 Kansas City in 1883 and to Tacoma
in 1891"
While Mr.. Fenlason thinks WILCOX
wronged man. Others think differently.
Detective Cudihee, who has been promi-
nent in the case, but who has always OBJ
jected to being iterviewed, said yesterday
when asked for his opinion of the verdict:
THE jury said he was innocent. but /
think differently"
