No Testimony TO Connect Him with the killing

The trial Of Peter Gerstel. alias dutch Pete"
for the killing of George Stelz, the bellringer at
the Church Of the Most Holy Trinity. In Will
liamsburg, last August, ended yesterday in the
County Court in Brooklyn by the abandonment
of the case by the prosecution. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Clarke said that the testimony of
the witnesses who had been before the Grand
Jury was only hcarsay. and was incompetent.
The witnesses. he said. could not identify Gers
tel as the man they had seen outside of the
church on the night of the murder. He said he
had no hope Of n conviction. and. II the other
side had no objection. he would accept the first
twelve men called ms jurors and present the tes-
timony he had. This was agreed to.
Judge Asphalt addressed the jury.
"Unquestionably a foul crime was commit
ted" he said. THE police worked faithfully on
the case. but there was scarcely q clue. Owing
to some suspicious circumstances the defendant
was arrested, but the only two men who by any
possibility could fasten the crime on him fail TO
identify him. The law safeguards the defend
ant, and since there is no evidence to prove his
connection with the crime l direct you to find
verdict of not guilty"
The jury found as directed. and then Judge
Aspinall, addressing the defendant, said:
There Is no doubt in my mind that you are a
confirmed criminal. but there Is no evidence
that you committed this crime. My advice 70
you Is to get out of Brooklyn. for II you are ever
convicted before me of any crime l will show
you no mercy. You can CO."

bullet perforated his hat. and rebounding from

guessing that the shots came from the van,
gave chase. 1t the Court House hill he had al
most caught up with the van, when Policeman

Lunger crnwled into the van from tho rear

He denied that he had fired any shots, but there
were several bullet holes in the van and one
