JUDGE WOOD RULES IN FAVOR
OF DEFENSE
Decision Holds That Prisoner Has Not
Been Connected with Murder Of
steunenberg to Warrant
Conviction
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOISE, idaho, Dec. 24.-Before hearing
argument on the motion for an instructed
verdict of acquittal filed by the defense
in the Pettibone trial today, Judge Wood
announced his conclusions on the ques-
ton of corroborative evidence and stated
that there had not been sufficient corrob-
oration of Orchards testimony on the
killing of Governor Steunenberg alone to
warrant a conviction.
He also said that corroboration was
necessary to establish conspiracy and
invited argument as to whether or not
such corroboration had been given by the
state, and whether or not the defendant
had been connected with that conspiracy
The conclusion of the court means that
either the jury will be instructed to
acquit the defendant Or that the trial
will proceed on the proposition that the
state is not required to connect Petit
bone with the Steunenberg murder, 1t be
ing only necessary to show that con-
spiracy to murder existed; that the de-
fendant on trial was member of that
conspiracy, and that the killing of Steun-
enberg was an incident thereto.
In the Haywood trial Judge Wood held
that it was necessary for the state t.
produce evidence tending to connect the
defendant with the specific crime charged
independent of the testimony of Orchard.
His announcement today means that he
will either reverse that ruling or sustain
the motion of the defense to direct an
acquittal.
ruling IN the motion will be made
Thursday. Judge Wood directed the de
fense to be ready to proceed with its
case at that time in the event the motioa
was not sustained
