! Chas. Turner was tried and acquit-
ted on the charge of disturbing the
peace, on Tuesday, in Justice Shows
court. The verdict in this case was
rather remarkable, considering the
evidence, as showing the codsidera-
| tions that will sometimes influence a
jury in arriving at a verdict. The ev-
idence showed that Turner and Elliott
! got into an alteration and then into
"scrap", in Wheeler & Barns res
taurant last Saturday evening. After
some words Turner struck Elliot, they
then clinched, fell through partition
and smashed some crockery. Mr..
Barnes had warrants issued on both
of them for disturbing the peace. The
testimony OF both the prosecution and
the defense showed the facts as stated
in the trial of Turner. Notwithstand-
ing this the jury acquitted him. From
what we can learn, the jury acted On
the theory that Elliott was the more to
blame. While this may have been
true, the fact still remained that Turn
er was guilty by his own statement.
This sort of a verdict must of neces-
sity be discouraging to the public
prosecutor, and if it means anything
at all it means that rather than saddle
an expense for the maintenance of
prisoners on the county, law breakers
will be turned losse. After the ver-
dict the complaint against Elliot was
withdrawn.
