NEWS IN BRIEF
EASTMAN NOT GUILTY.
End Of Long and Dramatic Murder
Trial in Cambridge, Mass.

After a long and dramatic trial, Charles
- Eastman, the Harvard instructor was
acquitted at Cambridge Mass, Satur-
day night, on the charge of numbering
his brother-in-law, Richard II. Grogan,
jr- while at target practice on July 4
last. The jury after listening patiently
for nearly three weeks to a tremendous
riass of testimony, followed by two days
OF argument, debated five hours and a
half before reaching a verdict.
The twelve men filed out OF the court
room at / o'clock in the afternoon and
returned at $50 i'm the evening, and when
the foreman, looking straight at East
man, said in a clear voice, so that it
could be heard throughout the room
Not guilty there was a demonstration
among the 100 spectators which the court
officers were entirely unable to suppress
Tor some minutes.
The young mans father who has stood
Loyalty by his side through the long
strain and who has spared no expense
in lawyers and experts to clear his son
of the terrible charge, was the first to
Iress his hand and to affectionately
greet him as he stepped from the pris-
Uner's cage a free man. Eastman's at
torneys were not far behind, and for
some minutes the courtroom was a scene
Of jubilant disorder.
Finally quiet reigned again and then
Judge Gaskell closed the proceedings with
Il short speech to the jurors, in which he
said the county had the highest appre-
citation of their services and Of their in
telligence and attention during the trial.
Before the jury left their seats East
man went over and shook hands with
each one and then passed out into an
anteroom, where he was greeted by his
relatives and friends. His wife and
i1other were very much affected by the
verdict, as both have been in constant
attendance throughout the entire proceed
iugs and felt the strain severely.

p.
1t is currently reported that some start
Ing admissions will be made by the de-
fdultng cashier at that time, in which
other names will be brought into the case,
and it is thought tina, Lewis has some

IT is likely that some light will be thrown
upon the matter in which the money
taken by Lewis was expended.
Cashier Lewis has perceptibly lost
flesh since the failure of the bank and
although he appears outwardly as cheer
ful and collected as ever, the anxious
strain is evidently wearing on him.

It's common error
To plaster the aching back
To rub with linimcnt rheumatic joints

And are endorsed 10y Brattleboro citizens.
Mrs Dwight Mather of Bonnyvale, road,
West Brattleboro, living about quarter of Il
mile from the village, says MARKED symp-
toms of kidney trouble caused me much suf-
fering for years, chief among them being IL
kidney weakness which was distressing nj all
times. If ! worked hard or stood long it
brought on feeling of pressure over the hips
and sometimes | could hardly stoop or sit
down. Now l don't say that Doan's Kidney
Pills cured me, but was greatly helped and
any medical preparation which helps an old
chronic case like mine is worthy of recon-
mendaton."
