Finds "a Verdict of AcquittaI.
Tom Kennedy and "Slob' Campbell
were given a trial before a jury in JUS
tice Traps court yesterday for indulg-
ing in a fight on the flats near the Re-
ception road house two or three weeks
ago and were acquitted of the charge Of
disturbance. The case was the result
of Kennedy's having interfered to sepa-
rate the combatants in a fight. which
was taking place on Main street one
day when ne happened along. Campbell.
who has a reputation as a fighter, re-
sented the interference, although he
was not a party to the fight, and merely
wanted to see it finished. He treated
Kennedy to a fine quality of abusive
language and invited him out in the
flats to fight. The upshot of the matter
was that, after meeting Campbell sew
eral times and taking his abuse, Ken
nedy one day accepted his challenge
and went out and CAV him a good
thrashing. The jury. after listening to
the evidence, concluded hat Kennedy
was justified, and, as IL was necessary
TO find both guilty of disturbance of the
peace if either, a verdict of acquittal
was rendered.
