Verdict Of Not Guilty.

IYNCHBURG. VA. Nov Especial
The second trial OF b. h. Hughes. on tbs
charge OF embczZling $500 In his connec-
tion with the Traders Bank. took place
to-day, and resulted In verdict OF not
guilty. In the FIRST trial Hughes was given
two years i'm the penitentiary by Lynch
burg jury, hut the verdict was set aside
by Judge Frank Christian and new
trial granted a special jury was brought
from DanvIie for to-day's trial
When the evidence was concluded the
Commemorative attorney. Mr.. Don L.
Halsoy. said that he had no new instruc-
lions 10 submit. but would accept the
instructions laid down by the Court In the
former trial. Mr. j. Tinsley Coleman, FOR
the defence, stated he had several m
structiOns TO offer. which he handed MT.
Halsey for pcrusal. After reading them
Mr.. Halsey objected strenuously 10 tho
first second and sixth instruction. ana
especially as 20 the second. which, ne
claimed. would cut the case Tor the Com
monwealth up by the roots and practically
decide the matters OF fact which ought 10
be submitted 10 the jury
The Jury. which I'm the meantime had
been sent out oil the room. was then re-
called. and the Judge read TO them the
instructions OF the Court. which. with
slight alterations. were practically the
same as those offered by Mr. Coleman.
Mr.. Halsey. addressing the jury. said:
Gentlemen OF the jury. under the in
structions as laid down by the Court do
not think that the Commonwealth has
made out its case
Judge Christian then asked the jury 10
render a verdict OF not guilty. which they
did without leaving their seats.
The Judge thanked the jury for their
consideration Of the case. and said. Il
think this Is a very proper solution OF this
case. as there is no evidence TO base n
verdict Of guilty upon against the ac-
cused and" he added you had just as
well and verdict and send me TO the
nenitentiary as the man you have Just
tried "
