Resulting in a Verdict of Not Guilty
for DIR. Watson.

New London, No. Feb. 1s.@The
jury in the case of DR.. T. Jones Wat
son of Denver. charged with killing
his wife, today returned a verdict OF
not guilty.
Mrs. Watson was killed in a run
away accident while riding with her
husband. who was picked up uncon-
scious near a bridge over a small
stream.
Mrs. Watson's body was found in
the water. The prosecution charged
that Mrs. Watson had died from the
effects of poison and that the condi-
tons under which her body was
found had been arranged by DIR. Wat
son to bear out a runaway theory.
Much expert testimony was introduced
at the trial and DR.. Watson took the
stand in his own defense. Medical
men testified for the prosecution that
unmista kable traces of poison were
found in Mrs. Watson's stomach but
other medical experts testified for the
defense that there were no traces of
poison.

stayed through the rest Of the night
until they were taken off the next
morning by life boat-and taken off
within half hour of the time that the
sea submerged even the SparS where

One of the men in the rigging of the
foundered ship was J. N. Dolley, sena-
tor from WabaunSee, Riley and Geary

was not long after this narrow escape
that he gave up the sea and came west

His seven uncles were all ship cap

died in South America while making
voyage around the Horn. Two or Sen
ator Dolleys brothers were lost at sea.
Senator Dolley made many voyages
with his father and besides trips to
China, East Indies and South America,
he twice made trips around the world.
When Senator Dolley came to Kan

would become homesick for the sea
