WALTER GARNER FREE.
Jury In His Second Trial Return Verdict O
Not Guilty

The Union Circuit Court recon
vened on Monday morning after a
weeks adjournment on account of
the primary election as did also
the grand jury.
A number of minor cases were
disposed of and the second trial of
Walter Garner, charged with killing
James Clay at Strong on Deem
Der 8, 1906, was tried and the jury
after being out but few minutes
returned verdict of not guilty.
The case of the state VS.. Hill ct.
al. charged with infant murder.
was continued until the next term
of court.
The case of T. B. Duke, charged
with killing the Wise boys here at
Huttig last fall, was commenced
Friday morning and will probably
occupy the attention of the court
for several days. Col. Murphy, of
Little Rock, and Pat McNalley, of
FL Dorado, are the attorneys for
the defendant and indications are
that this will be the hardest fought
case tried in this court in some
time.
The grand jury completed their
labors Thursday and were dis
charged. They returned over 100
true bills, but the big majority of
these were for gaming and other
misdemeanors.
