CHARLESTON, w. VA, April Is, -
The trial of John L. Fehr began
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and at IL 40 last night the jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.
The State utterly failed to prove
it's case.
Four witnesses were examined
for the State, and Eve for the de-
fendant.
While the fifth witness for the
defense was on the stand the
States attorney stated to the court
that it was useless for him to con-
tinue the trial longer, as the States
witnesses were broken down by the
witnesses of the defense and asked
the Judge to instruct the jury to
return verdict of not guilty.
The announcement was received
with demonstrations of applause,
and the friends of Mr., Fehr crowd.
ed around him and congratulated
him on the happy ending of his
case.
The evidence seemed to develop
the fact that the arrest of Mr.. Feh1
was the result of a conspiracy
formed among his enemies to ruin
his character and business.
Judge Hall instructed the Sheriff
to find the prosecuting witness
Arthur Lee Smith, tonight and
place him under guard.
IF it is proven that there hat
been a conspiracy against Fehr
