DECLARED NOT GUILTY
DIR. OHLENDORF CLEARED BY
JURY AT UPPER MARLBORO.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. April 30. 1905.
By unanimous verdict DIR. Joseph c.
Ohlendorf of Brentwood, Prince George
county, has been declared innocent of the
charge of manslaughter in connection with
the death of Margaret Hale, which occur
red at the Brentmar Sanitarium, Brent
wood, November "a, 1903.
The verdict, which gave to Dr. Ohlendorfhis
liberty after a prosecution lasting eighteen
months, was reached in less than twenty
five minutes. The first ballot was a secret
one eleven jurors voting for acquittal. The
twelfth juror came over for not guilty on
the next ballot, and declared that his first
ballot was cast in order to hold the jury
for deliberation little while longer.
The testimony was not gone into, the
jurors being convinced without further dis
cussion among themselves that the case
was based purely upon circumstantial evil
dence, and that the state failed to show DR..
Ohendorfs connection with the death of
the woman.
AT 9:35 o'clock last evening the somewhat
doleful peals of the court house bell an
nounced the fact that the jury had agreed
upon a verdict, and a few moments later
Judge ]. Parron Crane called the court to
order Judge George c. Merrick, who sat
in the case during the five days of its trial,
was not present at the return of the YER
dict. Lawyers for the state and the ac-
cused were all present with the exception
Of Mr. Robert w. Wells, who made the
opening statement for the accused yester-
day and had retired at the close of the case
the result of the severe strain under
which he had been laboring during the trial.
DR.. Ohlendorf entered the court room and
took a seat at the lawyers table. The
same calm attitude which he has maintain
ed throughout the ordeal of this his second
trial noticed. The jury, led by w.
Seton Belt, foreman, one of the most promt-
nent citizens of Prince George county, filed
into the box. Every member wore an eX-
preston of determination, which not few
thought might be ominous for the pris-
oner. Deputy Clerk J. n. w. Wilson asked
the usual question and Foreman Belt de-
clared that the verdict was mot guilty"
Although Judge Crane warned the spec
tators that no demonstration would be per-
mitted, the that followed the YER
dict showed Enthusiastically that 1t was an
extremely popular one. Lawyers and spec
tators crowded about DR.. Ohlendorf and
warmly congratulated him. Lawyer
Duckett, the oldest member of the distin-
guished coterie of lawyers for the defense,
cast aside his accustomed dignity and
throwing his arms about the doctor en-
braceG him a fond father. The scene
was impressive. Next to the prisoner Law
yer George p. Hoover of Washington came
in for a great measure of credit for the
verdict. Mr.. Hoover has taken the most
prominent part in the interest of the de-
Tense. and his persistent efforts in endeav-
oring to SECURE the admission of testimony
were favorably commented upon.
