fact he hopes that when petitions

The Slayer Of Frank March Ac-
quilted by Jury at Grand
Forks.
Jury Stood Eleven to One for Ac-
quitttl on the First Ballot
Taken.

The jury in the case of w. b.
West, charged with the murder of
Frank March, at Grand Forks, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty about
midnight of last Saturday.
The jury had been out for several
hours. On the first ballot the vote
was IL to onefor acquittal. The 18th
juror was soon won over and then
the Jurors took a short rest, after
which they notified the bailiff to
send for the Judge, attorneys and
the prisoner. The verdict was re-
ceived at just about midnight.
West was nervous when he ap-
peared in the court room where he
was to hear his fate, and his fea-
lures betrayed great excitement.
When it was announced he fell into
the arms Of his sister, and then,
after congratulating and thanking
his attorneys, he thanked each juror
individually, and walked out of the
court room free man, relatives ac-
companying him. His father, who
received the news at the hotel, was
overcome with joy, and after West
got there he was the center of the
congratulatory crowd.
His attorneys, in sizing up the
case before the jury, insisted that
the verdict must either be guilty OF
/ murder in the first degree, or a
Ecomplete acquittal. The defense
|did not care for g half way vindica-
ton, and manslaughter, or a SINH
I.larsverdict would be unsatisfactory.
The attorneys for the State insisted edS
fstTiTat taatt Vests procedure was thatoI Al
4 coy boy seeking revenge on March,
and that some punishment should
be inflicted. The jury, however,
seemed to have fallen in with the
! defense from the start, as was evl-
denced by the first ballot.
W. c. March of Minneapolis.
father Of Frank, was present
throughout the trial.
