ing $50 worth OF lace from Miss Agnes
BaTrette, but the girls story Of torture
which she told on the witness stand,
claiming that an effort was made to
force her into white slavery was not

we. the jury. ind the defendant not
guilty. and we the jury, further ind
that the charges made against Miss
Agness Barrette were unfoundedi and
are untrue
The verdict was brought lin last night
after the jury had been out seven
hours Five ballots were taken by The
jury. The first stood eight for acquiJ-
tai and four for conviction. Those vot-

believed the girls stories of outrageS
