Grating, Found Not Guilty.

Des Moines, Nov. 11.-Judge Given
yesterday direc the jury to return
verdict Of no. guilty in the case of
Constable John Daily, charged with
accepting q bribe from Druggist Suel
Spauldiag. The state had failed to
prove that the officer ever held war
rant for apaulding, the complaining
witness.
'In order to accept a bribe," said
Judge Given in his ruling, IAN officer
of the law must receive money for
failing to perform his duty. If Daily
had warrant and accepted money
from the complainant ne was guilty OF
bribery. If he had no warrant he had
no duty 10 perform, and having no
duty to perform could not in the sight
of the law be bribed. In the indict-
ment it is charged, not that he repre-
sented to Suel Spaulding that he had
! a warrant, but that he actually had a
warrant"
