MORLEY IS
 NOT GUILTY. His Trial Results in
 AcQuittal. ARSON WAS THE CHARGE Militia Guarded Court Room
 During Trial. Solicitor Pettus Says That He Has Cases Against Huntsville Lynch- CTS That will Result in
 Convictions.
WAS THE CHARGE

Huntsville, Sept. 24--(Special. )-Ac- cording to the verdict of the jury. si- las Morley Is not guilty of the charge of arson in the Madison County jail.
 The trail came to an end tonight and the jury was out an hour, return ing a verdict at 10:15 o'clock.
 Judge Speake delivered his charge to the jury immediately after the opcn- ing of evening session and 1t was wholly Impartial. One point he laid particular stress upon was. that if in the opinion of the jury, Morley had encouraged the mob in any way by word or sign, to proceed toward get-i ting Horace Naples out of the jail. the logical way to accomplish that purp ose being to burn the jail and even though the defendant did not build the fire or assist in keeping 1t going. the jury should return verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment. IA verdict of acquittal was not ex- pected so much as hung jury. A squad of militia was posted at the stairway leading to the court room to escort the prisoner back to jail had he been found guilty.
 The first witness of the morning was William Mitchell, night chief of police, who said he had known the defendant twenty years, and his character was good. Edwin A. Glassford, J. W. Haw-
 kins, Sake Simmons, ex Sheriff Powell and others testified as to the good character of the man. Morley, the defendant, testified that | he drove into town on his wagon at | o'clock on the eve Of the lynching. ted | his team at supper and was attracted 1 to the jail by. hearing shooting. He | stood around while He was in the
 middle of the street. When the ire department came to put the fire out, | he walked into the jail. attracted by curiosity as the militia came marching
 down and saw sobebody grab a soldiers l gun
 Defendant showed a mans hands | loose from the soldiers throat. After i that tho defendant came out of the jail and walked up to the court house
 where the negro was hung. He de-
 nied being in the jail when the fire
 was started and denied that he en.
 couraged anybody to keep 1t going or
 burn the jail.
 Arguments were made by David A.
 qrayson for the State. a. F. Turner
 Pettey and E. H. Foster for the de. fense and Solicitor Earle Pettus foE | the State.
 1 Solicitor Pettus said tonight that he
 has some cases against lynchers that
 he expects to result in conviction. Ma | jor John D. Elliott arrived from Bif-
 mingham tonight to spend a few days
 with the militia here.
 Naples Child Killed. | Jessie Naples, a small negro girl.
 daughter of Henry Naples. was run
 over by a wagon and team on streets
