TEMPERANCE CASE FAILS.
ubbar of Anderson. Was
Up Under Nicholson Law.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. March 24-The first
prosecution of an Anderson druggist for
violation of the Nicholson temperance law
failed here to-day. although ii was bitterly
contested and decided by a jury trial. The
case grew out of the detective work of
Simmons. the mysterious doctor who was
employed to work up cases against the
druggists. In some cases as many as ten
affidavits were sworn to charging firms
with violations of the law. DR.. William
Hubbard was the defendant in the trial to-
day and easily defeated the efforts to con-
vict him. Simmons was not here in person.
but was represented by one of his deputies.

Wis, charged with the murder of James Lam

acquitted. The evidence led the jury to be-
Eeve that Davis was justified in the deed
or was insane when he the act.
The wife of the wronged man did much for
him when called as a witness. She ac-
knowledged the guilty relations sustained

her husband with the story till he was
driven to the act. Davis did not believe
Landes's story of infidelity till Mrs. Davis
