claimed that Jordan took the gun
from Henry Irwin, colored, the man
who was killed, and shot him dead.
In another portion of her evidence she
said that the gun was discharged in
the scuffie. She contradicted herself
on several material paints.
The prisoner on the witness stand
set up the claim that the gun was ar-
cidentally discharged, when he at
tempted to take it away from Irwin,
who was trying to shoot him.
The jury was then given the case.
They returned verdict at O'Clock Of
not guilty and the prisoner was dis
charged.
The killing occurred last summer n
year ago In shanty at Pinnickin-
nick late one evening. Irwin had Civ
en- Jordan 81 to go to the store and
make some purchases OF groceries. He
received ten cents in change but could
not account for this small amount
upon his return and quarrel ensued,
resulting in the killing OF Irwin. Jor-
dan Immediately disappeared and
never was heard of until few months
ago, when he was located in Philadel-
phia- The sheriff went there and
brought HIM back here and incarcer-
ated him in jail, where he has been
ever since
