.ACQUITS ED BUTLER.
fury at Fulton, NO., Would Not
Hold the ssBoss."
brennan ROsser Said That the Tes
tim0ny of BoodIers and PerJurers
Could Not BE acknowledgements
Attorney Folk DumfouHded-

Fulton, Mo-, Feb. THE jury in the
Butler bribery case returned a verdict
Saturday morning at ten o'clock which
read: I'VE the jury, find the defend
ant not guilty."
Circuit Attorney Folk, who was in
the court room, appeared dumbfounded.
81 thought the state presented a good
case" he said. Beyond that I have
nothing to say at this time"
About IS ballots were taken, accord
ing to Foreman Rosser, and at the
start the jury stood ten for acQuittal
and two for conviction. "One of those
voting to acquit changed after the
first ballot" said Mr.. Rosser ''The
other man held out stubbornly until
9:45 O'Clock a. m, when he finally came
into line. do not care to mention the
names of the two men who held out for
conviction, nor the one who remained
firm up to the last moment. The jul
rors did not want to convict the de-
PENDANT on the testimony of boodlers
and perjurers, whose statements were
fatty contradicted by men OF good char
acter. Again, we did not think the cir
cumstances pointed to the defendants
guilt. On the evidence OF the state,
even though we thoroughly credited it,
there was serious doubt as to Buffers
guilt. Weighing the facts carefully, We
think we did our full duty fairly and
fmpartiaI1y.

A CANAL COMPLICATION.
Gen. Reyes Sails for France to Protest
Against Transferring Its Contract to
the United States.

New York, Feb. Cen. Reyes, the
newly elected president Of Colombia,
will sail to-day for Paris on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse. Gen. Reyes said
last night:
II feel it my duty to be present in
Paris when the question CT the sale of
the rights of the Panama Canal COM
pany to the United States comes be,
fore the proper French tribunal To
ne the matter is very clear. The Pam
anna Canal company cannot transfer it's
rights to the United States without the
consent of Colombia, because it's con-
tract entered into with Colombia can
not automatically transfer itself to
Panama province. That province can.
not substitute itself for Colombia"

Herbert, of Hiawatha, while here on
