ACQUITTAL OF DR.. WATSON |
End of the Sensational Case at New

DIR. Taylor Jones watson, Charged
With killing His Wife, Declared
Not Guilty by Jury.

New London, Mo-, Feb. 20.-Dr. Tay-
lor Jones Watson, charged with the
murder of his wife, Amanda, was de-
clared not guilty by the jury.
After the conclusion of the argl-
ments the u men in the case were
locked in their room, in charge of the
bailiff, with instructions to return a
verdict as soon after as possible.
AS soon as court convened Saturday
the jury announced, through the bailiff,
that it had reached a verdict.
The news spread rapidly, and, by the
time the prisoner had been brought in
and the IL jurors had fled into their
places, the courtroom vas crowded.
There was breathless silence as the
clerk read:
Eve, the jury find the defendant,
Taylor Jones Watson, NOT GUILTY,
as charged in the Indictment"
A smile fitted across the calm face
of the defendant as he turned and
grasped the proffered hand of his coun-
sci, Judge Roy and later the congrat-
ulation Of the small circle of friends
who have remained loyal to him
throughout the proceedings.
Thus was brought to close one Of
the most mysterious criminal cases in
the history of the state, case that was
at the same time one of the mos
costly.

both sides was circumstantial, ant

swore to finding poison in the viscert
of the dead woman, and who swort
that she did not drown. Other experts

there are at least 5000 women who
