promptly rendered a verdict that there
were no grounds for holding the accused
and he was discharged. Mr.. Beymer
came home last night and this morn

the mercury receded to. 50. There
were indications of rain all night but
none fell until about 8 o'clock this morn
ing, since which time it has been show
ering all day, making the atmosphere
more comfortable and life again worth
living.
