After the rending OF the verdict Lacy
shook hands with the jury and thanked

Yesterday morning was taken up prin-
cipally in summing mp. Mr.. Greenough
for the state and Dir. Aldrich for Lacy.
Mr.. Aldrich I'm opening gave In detail
similar characteristics. that took place
in this country nearly 100 years ago. In
which the defendant was acquitted. After
that he showed how well Lacy and
Clements In their testimony coincided,
and was not contradictsd by the state.
He was followed by Mr.. Greenough,
who presented the case very clearly for
the state. and told the jury that they
should show no sympathy to either the
family OF the police officer or the prison
er.
In his charge to the Jury Judge Blod-

be from carelessness, but not justiiable

Continuing the court said that II the
jury found that Lacy deliberately hred

was I'm danger, the charge would he

through overtimidity or carelessness, the
weapon was discharged. but not deliber-

would be manslaughter; third. that II

that his life was In danger and that he
had reasonable grounds for believing.
that his life was nidanger, and that he

but II he honestly thought so he should
be acquitted.
1t Is Lacy's intention TO return to the
army and will probably resume his old
place at Fort Greble.
