Jury ACoUITS SANDERSoN
Defense of the Unwritten Law Lets
Slayer of Doctor Go
Free.

CARTHAGE, NO. March 24.-The jury
in the case of Arthur Sanderson, charged
with the murder of DIR. Solomon d. Mere
dith in Carthage on January 2, last. brought
in a verdict this evening of not guilty. after
being out twenty-five hours
Mrs. Sanderson, in defense of her hus-
band, testified that DIR. Meredith, who had
been their family physician, had made love
to her when she went to his office to con-
suit him. Later. when one of the Sanderson
children was i'll and Sanderson wanted to
send for Meredith, Mrs. Sanderson had de-
INJURED and said that some other physician
should be called in. Sanderson insisted
upon knowing why she objected to Mere
dith, and Mrs. Sanderson related her ex-
periences with him. Sanderson Immediately
left the house and soon returned with DR..
Meredith. Before Mrs. Sanderson he &C
cused the physician of running his home
and shot and killed him.
In the arguments of counsel for the de-
Tense parallel with the Thaw case was
drawn and the unwritten law was brought
out. Attorney Shannon said there was evil
dence of an exaggerated ego in that the
defendant thought himself providentially
called upon to avenge the insult to his wife.
He declared that DIR. Meredith deserved the
fate he met.
In a dying statement DR.. Meredith denied
that'his relations with Mrs sanderson had
been criminal. He was prominent in
Richie. Mo, before coming here.

is brand that has found great
favor with the chewers of Fine
Tobacco in Martinsburg and vi
entity. When we first undertook
to introduce it some thought that
it would not go on account of
there being no trade on Natural
Leaf Tobacco, but we were con-
Z fident Of its going, as we sell ii
throughout The South in immense
quantities. SO we put it inthe
hands of Retailer and found that
our Judgment was good Nearly
every Store has it on sale and
nearly everybody knows the fine
taste that it possesses. Taylor's
Natural Leaf can't help but be
good, for we make it out of the
very best leaf that grows. If
yo've never chewed any of Tay-
Ior's Natural Leaf we unhesitat-
ingly say that there is an enjoy
ment in store for you that you've
never before gotten out of your
