What Ii Means.

The conclusions Of court mean that
either the jury will be instructed to
acquit the defendant, or the trial will
proceed on the proposition that the
state is not required to connect Petit
bone with the Steunenberg murder, it
being only necessary to show a con-
spiracy TO murder existed; that the de-
fendant on trial was a member of that
conspiracy, and that the killing of
Steunenberg was an incident thereto.
