Cuyahoga Falls, Oct. 9.-The murder
theory, in reference to the strange
death of Patrick Mullen, which &C.
CURED over a week ago, is not credited
as much as last week. Every clew has
been run down and the officials are In
the dark as much as ever.
Coroner. Il. o. Leberman said to a
Democrat. reporter that he did not
know il the inquest would he resumed.
He further stated that from what he
has ascertained that the murder theory
was not the most plausible.
His idea of the mysterious death
is that Mullen was assaulted in the
alley Just back of three saloons on
Front st. Blood oozed from his
wound and that he lost his hat. Be-
ing in an intoxicated condition he
forgot his hat and started to walk.
In crossing the track he probably
stumbled, fell and dnzed himself, and
may have died from exhaustion.

CORBETT is FREE.
Jury Finds Him ''NOt Guilty of As
sauIting Rev. and Mrs. David B.
Cheney at Racine.
VERDICT MEETS APPROVAL.

AS The Accused Man walked From the
Court House Free Man He Was Greeted
By an outburst of Applause Which Fol-
lows Him Down the Street.-The Speaks
to Reporters of the Trial and will Make
His Home in Racine.
Henry F. Corbett, accused of shoot
ing Rev. and Mrs. D. B. Cheney with
intent to kill, walked out of the munic-
ipa1 court of Racine at II o'clock this
morning free man. The jury were
given the case at 1911 and at 1O:45 they
returned to the court room and an
nounced that they had found the pris-
oner mot guilty"
The announcement of the verdict
was greeted by storm of applause, in
which the jurors, attorneys and the
great crowd in the building joined
with enthusiasm. Judge F1ett, who
presided raped loudly for order, but
the pounding of the gave1 was drowned
in the mighty peal of applause that
went up in approval of the verdict re-
turned by the jury. The Judge finally
threatened to arrest all the partici-
pants and quiet was finally obtained.
Corbett at once left the room as soon
as the verdict was announced. A few
moments later he returned to ST.
Luke's hospital and went to bed to
sleep for the rest of the day. He was
seen at the hospital by the representa-
tive of this paper and stated that he
was glad the long, tedious trial was
over. He stated that he never had any
doubts as to the outcome of the case.
He had been a victim of mistaken
identity. He said that the trial had
cost him over five hundred dollars and
that the long time he had spent IN jail
had undermined his health to such an
extent that it could never be regained.
AS to his plans for the future, he stated
that he would remain in Racine, and
as soon as his health would permit he
would be on the streets as a book
agent. Rev. Cheney was also seen
after the verdict was announced, but
he refused to be interviewed.
The verdict meets with general ap-
prevail, not only in Racine, but in ali
parts of the State. From the very
first it mas been considered that the
defendant in the case was the victim of
mistaken identity and the people will
be glad to know that he has been able
to prove his innocence in this manner.
There is no doubt but that the large
number of people in Racine who be-
lieve that the accused man has re-
ceived bad treatment, will assist him
to find employment which will permit
him to regain his health and get back
little of the money spent in defend
ing himself against a groundless
charge.
