End of the Fosburgh Case.

The FoSburgh murder trial, the most
famous case of the year in New Eng
land, came to a sudden end at Pitts
field, Mass, Friday morning, when
Judge Stevens briefly but impressive
ly addressed the jury, directing them
to bring in verdict of acquittal. The
jury then rendered the verdict and a
great demonstration of satisfaction
took place, young Fosburgh and the
members of his family receiving the
congratulations of many friends after
the shouts of approval had died away.
The commonwealth failed completely
in it's attempt to make out case
against the young man, and wonder is
generally expressed now that the
grand jury considered the evidence
sufficient to call for an Indictment 1t
is said, however, in extenuation of the
grand jury, that one witness swore to
important testimony before them who
would not make similar statements in
the courtroom. Chief-of-Police Nichol-
son is now regarded in the unenviable
light of an exploded Sherlock Holmes
It was a trying ordeal for the Fos-
burghs, who in addition to having one
Of the family charged with murder
had to have their family affairs and
relations revealed to the public, but
in the end nothing was shown which
would not win for them respect and
admiration. The killing of Miss May
Fosburgh remains as great mystery
as ever.
