SIMPSON ACQUITTED BY JURY
END OF SOUTH COTTONWOOD
ADULTERY CASE.
Lawyer Hamilton Fooled a Witness
and Was Reprimanded By Court
Clerk Little On Handwriting.

George Simpson was last evening de-
clared innocent OF the crime of adul-
tery, for which he has been on trial
four days. The jury to which Simpsons
fate was left was out from 4:S0 in the
afternoon until o'clock, returning
then with a verdict Of not guilty.
Simpson was accused Of illicit rela-
tons with Mrs. Mary Jane Ferguson.
wife of Isaac Ferguson of South Cot
! tonwood He had been employed by
Ferguson for something over a year as
a laborer. They quarreled, and Slmp-
son went to work for the Jordan Mar
rows Power company. Afterwards
Ferguson brought this charge against
Simpson. Mrs. Ferguson sided with
the accused man, and testified in his
favor
All yesterday morning was consumed
by evidence in rebuttal and sur-rebut-
tai. An amusing incident occurred when
Deputy Clerk Fred Little was put upon
the stand by the prosecution as an eX-
pert on handwriting. Three letters
were in evidence, one of which con-
tanned statements alleged to have been
written by Simpson, which tended TO
show that there had been criminal in
timacy between Mrs. Ferguson and
himself This letter the defense claimed
was a forgery. Mr.. Little looked the
letters over and announced that they
were all written by the same person.
When it came TO the croSs-examina-
ton, Mr.. Hamilton took the letters in
his hand and inserted another one,
written by S. p. Armstrong, one of
Simpsons attorneys. Mr.. Little did not
see this, and when Mr.. Hamilton pre-
scented ii to him he reiterated his for
mer statement that all were by the
same person. Then Mr.. Hamilton
showed the deception.
Prosecutor Van Colt lodged a vigor-
Gus objection to this method of pro-
cedure, and Judge Norrell reprimanded
Mr.. Hamilton for deceiving the wit
ness.
The afternoon was occupied by the
arguments, Mr.. Van Colt opening for
the prosecution. He briefly reviewed
the case, dwelling upon the fact that
Mrs. Ferguson and her daughter spent
a night in February at a hotel in Sandy
with Simpson and the daughters be-
trothed. On this occasion the alleged
adulterous act is said to have been
committed.
j. NJ. Hamilton followed with a plea
for the accused, claiming that he was
a victim of a conspiracy. S. P. Arm
strong closed for the defense, and Mr..
Van Colt concluded the case with an
argument for the prosecution.
The jury went out at 4:S0.

Logan. May 1S.-The local correspondent
of the Tribune is seeking to cover up
some of his plumbers with falsehoods. He
denies The Herald statement that Glen

knowles denies its truth. 1t may inter-
est the oStentatious scribe of the Tribune
to learn that The Herald's statement was
based upon what Mr.. Knowles gave out
himself. The latter stated to your cor
respondent that Miller had written him.

SOUTHERN STATES MEETING.
Novel Programme Carried Out By
Returned Missionaries.

The elders who have labored in the
southern states mission met in the
Twenty-frst ward Westinghouse last
evening and held a typical southern
states meeting. 1t was under the aus
pices of the elders OF the ward who had
filled missions in the south. and they,
with all visiting brothers, occupied the
stand. The house was well filed. After
opening the meeting in the usual way,
Elder Joseph A. Williams preached a
sermon on faith, and Elder Elias 5.
Woodruff discOursed on repentance. The
boys took their texts and waded into
them just as they were wont to do in
the backwoods of old Kentucky or amid
the cottonfields of Georgia.
A quartette was rendered by William
Woolley, VIII Clements. Gordon Wool
ley and Joseph A. Williams.
An organization of the elders who
have served in the south will probably
be effected at an early date.

Notwithstanding it's pathos.

that she was accused of drunkenness

And Mrs. McDermott sat down in

board with the city for ten days.
