MURDER CASE IN
HANDS OF JURY
TWELVE MEN CONSIDER FATE OF
MRS. ELIZA GoE5EL, AGED
WOMAN WHO is CHARGED
WITH DEATH OF YOUNG WON.
AN--JupGE GIVES CHARGE.

The case of the state VS.. Eliza K
Goebel, the latter charged with man
slaughter in the first degree, was sub
mitted to the jury few minutes be-
fore the noon recess today, at the
close of the judges charge.
The charge to the jury by Judge
Taylor was brief, but in the few
words spoken the court made the law
of the case very plain to the twelve
men selected to decide the guilt or in
nocence of the >aged woman who is
charged with a heinous offense.
Principally the court emphasized
the validity of the ante norton state
ment of Stena Naverud, who is alleged
to have come to her death as result
of a criminal operation. If the jury
believed the statement Of the dead
woman 1t would mean that they must
find the prisoner guilty, but if on the
other hand the jury attached no cred
ence to the statement they would have
to take another course. The fact that
the statement was not made under oath
made no difference whatever and they
must dismiss the theory of counsel
for the defendant on that question
from their minds.
County Attorney Johnson complet-
ed his argument to the jury this
and he was Immediately fol-
lowed by Attorney Witherow for the
defense, who spoke nearly two hours.

'ACQUITS KING OF
MURDER CHARGE
NEGRO PLEADS SELF. DEFENSE
IN. KILLING or JAMES HUTCH,
IsoN in BLACKJACK GAME AND
is SOON FOUND NOT GUILTY BY
DISTRICT COURT JURY.

| Charles King, negro, has been ac~
quilted of the charge of numbering.
James Hutchinson, another colored
man, by the jury in the district court
yesterday afternoon. King, held since
about the middle of September at the
county jail awaiting trial, walked out
of the courtroom about o'clock yes-l
| terday a free man. i
Self-defense was the plea of the de-
PENDANT and according to the testi-
mony offered by the three main witt
nesses who were present at the time
of the shooting, there was nothing left
but for the states attorney to move
that the court advise the jury to re- +,
turn a verdict of not guilty, The jur-l
ors did even retire but communicated
with each other In their places and in
two minutes announced that their re-
port was ready
When the foreman of the jury, Fred
Mampf, read aloud the verdict of not
guilty there was quite a sensation in
the court room and the friends, of the
defendant quickly gathered about him
and congratulated him profusely. They
led him out Of the building and down
the street in high spirits of glee. Much
credit for the easy victory was given
the counsel for the defense, John "a.
Pfeffer.
The shooting Of Hutchinson and The
mysterious escape and thrilling cap
ture OF King was one of the most IN
teresting and spectacular cases in
Cass county for long time. The
shooting was the result of a game of
blackjack in the gaming rooms on lbw-
er Front street, of a negro named
White, but known as "The bar"
Following the firing of the shotthat
killed Hutchinson, who was a bootlack
and porter at William Johnson'sbar-
Der shop, King made dash for her
ty.
His escape baffled the police ofFar-
go and Moorhead for a number oflays
and he was finally located In Nine
apolis. Sheriff Boyle went afterhim
and brought him back after the ngro
had made a bold attempt to dodg the
mill city police. He was caught here
after a wild chase through a nnber
Of streets from a Washington aenue
saloon to the Milwaukee freight srds.
where he shot several times a his
pursuers.

RroomhaIPs Report.

Liverpool, Nov. 17.--The wheat mar

ing induced by the weakness in Amer
lean cables yesterday, and a report
received from Broomhalls' agent of
rains in the drought district of Ar
gentine and values were B0% low
err. Following the opening and during
the remainder of the morning session
the market ruled strong with active
covering by shorts and buying by
yesterdays sellers, and prices advanc-
ed %0B from the opening. This buy
/ ing was induced by a private cable
received here showing an unfavorable
outlook in Argentine and reduced crop
estimates. There was very good buy
ing by a large London house and this
caused shorts to cover freely. Mark
Lane was firm and generally to 6
pence advance and there was a good
demand for spot. Private estimates
are for smaller worlds shipments this
week. other than America, and the
continent continues to bid freely for
cargoes arriving. with France a pur-
chaser. At midday the market was
excited and strong and A@R higher
from the opening, and Is higher than
yesterday.
The corn market opened easy and
u OK lower and following the open
ing the American grade declined *.
Pressure was due to larger American
offerings. Plate grade ruled fairly
steady on the predictions Of smaller
shipments.

people last night that the Armour in

more long wheat than on Tuesday and
the crowd had less, a majority of the
latter being short. Traders said they
