Been a Mistake.

The speedy acquittaI of Fred Con-

pick the pocket of A. Y. Lindell on the
day of the Twentieth reception, in the
district court Saturday afternoon, was
something of a surprise. A disagree
ment on the part of the jury would
have caused no wonder, but the unan-
unity Of the jury in voting for acquit-
tai came as a surprise even to the at
tOrneys for the defense. On the first
ballot the jury voted 10 for acquittal
and for conviction, and the next bal
lot was unanimous for acquittal, so
that the verdict was rendered within
five minutes after the case was sub
mitted to the jury
The reason for the speedy acquittal
was that the jury thought Mr.. Lindeu
