ST. Paul Woman Freed Of Charge
of Killing Husband.

Mrs. Nina Arbogast has been ac-
quilted at St Paul Of the murder
of her husband, Louis Ar5ogast, by a
district court jury.
When the verdict was read there
was subdued babel of whispers,
tears coursed down the cheeks of the
widows daughters, while the woman
herself, with head still bent, burst
into tears and wept silently.
Judge Orr briefly thanked the jury
for the attention they had given the
case and discharged them.
Louise Arbogast, a daughter, is now
out on $4,000 bail on the same charge
as the mother and her case has been
set for this term, SO that the proba-
bility is she will be tried within a
week CT two.
The murder of Louis Arbogast was
one of the most brutal affairs in st.
Paul criminal history.
