MYRON ALDRICH
IS ACQUITTED
Attorneys File an Application for
a Rehearing in the Case of
Lowell ElliS.-A Nolle En-
tered in the Case of
William Denton.

II
The trial of the boy train wreckers,
which has occupied the greater part of
the time Of the Fremont County Dist
rict court for the last two weeks. has
been concluded by the conviction OF
Lowell Ellis, the acquittal of Myron
Aldrich and an abandonment OF pro-
ceedings in against William Denton
the youngest of the trio.
The state made its strongest case
against Lowell Ellis, who was the first
to be tried, and, it is underl; ood, that
the jury reached verdict of guilty on
ing ten for conviction and two for ac-
quittal. The Aldrich boy was placed
on trial last Friday morning and a
large number of witnesses were ex-
amined. by both the prosecution and
the defense. The testimony of one OF
the witnesses for the defense was of a
somewhat sensational character. but
his evidence was impeached by the
prosecution and no credence was given
to it by the jury.
The examination of witnesses in the
the trial of Aldrich was concluded
Monday afternoon and the case sub
mitted to the jury, after which court
adjourned. AT 10 O'Clock the next
] morning a verdict of not guilty was
rendered. the jury having reached q
decision after short deliberation.
Whatever view may be taken of the
guilt or innocence of the:accused, it is
safe to assert that their youthfulness
aroused the sympathy and commisser-
alton Of the attendents at court during
their trial and attracted thither many
people not personally interested in the
case.
A motion for a new trial IN the case
of Lowell Ellis has been filed, but as
the allegations in the petition set forth
no special grounds for a rehearing
there is an element of doubt about its
being granted.
The evidence adduced at the trial
was, in the main, corroborative of the
reports of the wreck published in the
renee last January, but in the case of
Aldrich, at least, was not sufficiently
conclusive to establish his connection
with the crime. Train wrecking is one
of the reprehensible offenses in the
catalogue of crime. and the friends of
