utes for Verdict.

Louis Peterson was acquitted of the
m-anslaughter charge brought against him
because Of the death Of John Hibbard. by
a jury in district court after It had been

Inability of the state to show that the
fall which Hubbard was said to have re-
ceived as a result of a blow from Peter
son, caused the mans dehth in an alley
hours later, seems to have ben the strong

The case went TO the jury at $50 yester-
day afternoon. The defense had rested fol-

denied striking the man anything more
than a slap,
Four addresses. none Of them long, were
made to the jury by the lawyers in the
case.
The defense was that Hibabrd might
have been beaten by another man after he
had left the Peterson saloon on sixteenth
and California streets. In fact, the de-
tense had witnesses TO testify that they
saw and beard things which would indi-
cate Hubbard fought or was attacked by
some one after he left the Peterson saloon
