GREEN IS ACQUITTED.
Battle Creek Man Killed Prof. Thomas

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 24-It
took only ten minutes last night for
the jury TO acquit j. Howard Green.
who has been on trial here charged
with the murder OF Prof. Thomas ID.
Skidmore. The jury took but one bal
lot after going through the necessary
formalities on retiring after the
Judges charge. and that was unani'
nous for acquittal.
Green is prominent attorney and
clubman OF Battle Creek. Mich, and
killed Skidmore. who was an early
sweetheart of Mrs. Green and mad
pursued her practically ever since her
marriage.
The verdict OF acquittal was gen.
orally expected after the argument of
Green's attorney, which was strong
effort along the line that Green shot

the argument, as had been anticipated.
