a Los Angeles negro accused of shoot
ing George Williams of this city at a
negro dance given in Arcadia early In
the month, was found not guilty by
Judge Klamroth this morning after an
amusing trial. Williams was shot
twice and cut for which offense Law
renee Holmes is held to the superior
court. But the evidence as to the
shooting was not quite clear enough

fired, but subsequent proceedings were

considered the floor back Of the bar the
safest place for him, and got there i'm

J. H. Green, who rejoices in the nick

who delayed not the order of his get
ting away from the scene Of action.
When the shooting was over he was
occupying a stall in the back of the sa-
loon. Judge Klamroth commended
