without much difficulty, composed of G..

ter, I. b. Norton, E. G.. Dixie and A. b.
Kilbourne. Over dozen witnesses were
examined but the state was unable to
extract any favorable evidence from but
two. Deputy Palmer, who made the
arrest. and Myron Wilson, who testified
that he made two visits to the lookup
the night of the incarceration. The
respondent, himself, swore that he was
not intoxicated and that he had drank
no Intoxicating liquor during the day
States Attorney Donoway made a brief
but eloquent plea, placing particular
weight upon the testimony of Myron
Wilson, and wildly outlining the re-
sponsibility of jurors to sustain the new
law. The jury was in consultation but
few minutes before returning "A verdict
of not guilty. During the trial the court
room was packed almost to suffocation
by a crowd of men who were so thor
oughly in sympathy with the respondent
that the court was several times obliged
to call for order. The verdict, which
was announced shortly before 4 o'clock
was received with applause. The state
certainly had a hard case to prosecute,
for more unwilling lot of witnesses
than majority of those summoned
never held up their right hands before a
justice.
