COLONEL C)[S0N ACQUITTED
TOOK THE JURY FIFTEEN MINUTES
TO ARRIVE AT A VERDICT
OF NOT GUILTY.
Crowd Arose and Sent Up q wild
Cheer in the Court Room, Showing
Their sympathy for the Defend
ant--Spectators piled over the
Ratings to Shake His hands and
Congratulate Him.

FRANKFORT, Ky, April 21.-Ex-Con-
gresham David G.. Colson, on trial here
for four days for the murder of Lieut..
Ethelbert Scott and Luther w. Demaree,
was acquitted this evening. The jury was
out eighteen minutes. A large part of the
crowd remained in the court room waiting
q report. After being out fifteen minutes,
knock summoned Sheriff Baker. He re-
ported to Judge Herndon that the jury
was ready. There was a demonstration
when Circuit Clerk Ford finished reading
the verdict, which read:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant not
guilty
AS the last words were read the crowd
sent up wild cheer. Col. Colson was
standing near the witness chair The
crowd took no notice of the court officers
who pounded vigorously for order but piled
over the ratings surrounding Colson and
insisted on shaking hands with him. They
gave an ovation to the jury and Col Jas.
Andrew Scott, Colson's chief counsel The
cheering kept up until Colson left the
court.
Tonight Col. Colson is receiving con-
gratulatory kilograms from all over Ken
lucky.
The tragedy occurred January 16. In a
duel with Lieut.. .Etheibert f. Scott, in
the lobby of the Capitol Hotel, surrounded
at the tine by a crowd attracted by the
political contests, Colson killed his. antag-
onist, Scott, and Luther w. Demaree and
Charles Julian, bystanders, and wounded
Capt B. B. Golden. who accompanied
Scott and whom Colson's friends charge
with having taken part in the battle. Both
Scott and Colson empt:ed their pistols,
fifteen or twenty shots being fred. Scott
had seven bullets in his body and Colsor
was wouned in the arm. The weight OF
the evidence was that he received this
wound early in the fight and that Scott
fired before Colson arose from his chair.
Col Colson IS entertaining party OF
friends tonight He will leave Tomorrow
night for his home at Middlesboro.
