progress, occupied the whole of Monday
The jury remained out only % minutes
and returned verdict of not guilty.
1t will be remembered that Ned Smith
was tried at last term of court for this
killing and came clear. The evidence
seemed sufficient to warrant the arrest
of Dave Walker but it was not sufficient
it seems to convict. The defendant was
represented by Messrs H. L. Scaife and
j. G. Hughes. Mr. Hughes conducted
the examination of witnesses.
