WH|TMORE, FREED,
 KISSES HIS ATTORNEY
Jury Returns Verdict After Dc.
 IIbeTat|ng Two Hours.

Jersey City, N. j., Oct. S1.--After being out two hours the jury in the case of Theodore Whitmore, on trial for the murder of his wife, whose battered body was found on Dec. 28 of last year in swamp near Harri- son, returned verdict of not guilty.
 Whitmores defense was an alibi which he was able to establish by the testimony of number of witnesses who testified to having seen him in New York at the time of the commis- sion of the crime in New Jersey.
 Whitmore was much affected by the verdict. As the foreman of the jury made known the decision arrived at he threw his arms around his attor- ney and effusively kissed him.
