Springfield H., Oct. 9.-After 16
hours deliberation the jury in the
case of Abe Raymer, alleged mob
leader, charged with destruction of
property during the recent riots, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty yester-
day afternoon.

of murder in connection with the
lynching of w. K Donnigan, an aged

Rsymer was with the mob and that he
threw bricks at Loper's restaurant.

guilty.

of cases, involving 115 indictments, yet
Ito be tried.
