wife said that in the event of his send

East Park street she would turn over to
his care the elder child and keep the
younger one herself.
Allen went with friend to the Local

offered for his arrest. He was located
in Missouri and brought back to Butte.
His trial began Tuesday morning, and
at o'clock last night the whole bust
ness was turned over to the jury. At
midnight verdict of acquittal was re-
turned.
Wiley was defended by Bush &
Kremer, who made it appear that the
character of the complaining witness
was not what it should have been. r.
c. Fulford, for whom she worked as
waitress, testified that he had seen her
and his brother together in a room in
the Battle Creek restaurant, of which he
was one of the proprietors. He said he
did not consider her character good.
Fulford's brother Edward corroborateG
this statement. He said that before the
alleged assault his brother had caught
him and the girl together in room an /
that he had to get out of the place. He
also said he had first seen the girl in a
dance hall in Garnet, and he did not
