NEGRO ACQUITTED
ON FIRST CHARGE

After six hours of elaboration, a
jury in the criminal department of the
circlit court yesterday acquitted
James Evans, the negro charged with
criminal assault on a girl in the half
built auditorium facing Fort street.
The defense claimed that they had
proved consent to the act and that this
invalidated the prosecutions case.
Isaac Ahoo and Edward Odds who
are charged with the same crime,
though on different indictments, are
yet to stand trial, and Evans has one
more charge against MIN. The prosecu
ton believes that all the other cases
are much stronger than the one just
completed. The Evans trial took six
days.
