SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 20.-Capt. Fred
erick J. Mills. late lieutenant governor Of
Idaho, was today acquitted of the charge
of murder. The jury was out only quar-
ter of an hour, just long enough to elect
a foreman and take a ballot. Such finding
was expected by everyone and the an
nouncement of the result was not followed
by anything sensational.
Mills was charged with the murder Of
John c. O'Melveny. chief engineer of the
Oregon Short Line, in this city, October
last. The evidence showed that. while
the defendant was absent, serving as an
officer in the volunteer army of the United
States, his wife and O'Meveny became
criminally intimate. The defendant learn
ed of these facts on the day of the tragedy,
his wife making full confession. The kill
Ing followed
The defendant plead Utah statute which
justihes a husband who kills his wife's
seducer and also set up the plea of insan-
ity. Mills will probably return to Idaho in

His store was very lofty. running up two

bent the blade until hilt and point met. He
