ARMY MEN CLEARED OF
SHOOTING COPPER THIEF
But Verdict Does Not Decide the Cues
tiOn of What Was the Duty
of the Soldiers

PITTSBURG, Jan. 31.-The jury in
the case of Lieutenant Ralph w. Drury
and Private John w. Dowd, u. S. A.,
charged with the murder of William
HI. Crowley, returned a verdict today
of not guilty. Drury and Dowd were
at once released
Crowley was shot while escaping
from the arsenal grounds, where it was
alleged he was stealing copper. The
verdict does not decide the question
of what was the duty of soldier .un-
der similar circumstances. This is the
question the Government desired to
have decided, but Judge O'Connor made
1t plain that the order the soldier
had received or army regulations had
