LA PLANT FOUND
mot GUILTY"
Such Was the Verdict of the Jury
in Famous ZiebaCh County
Murder Case.
End of One of the Hardest FOuih
Criminal Cases for Several
Years Past.
Large Number of Witnesses and
Expert Testimony Examined in
Progress of Trial.

Just after having printed the
paper last Friday, The News re-
ceived the information that Ovila,
better known as Babe" LaPlant,
of Ziebach county, accused of the
murder Of one George Martin on
March Goth, last, had been found
not guilty by a jury in that coun.
ty Friday afternoon.
Judge {. G. Carpenter, OF the
Nelfth judicial circuit, opened
court for the first regular term in
Ziebach county on Tuesday, De-
cember 9TH, and the first case called
for trial was the LaPlant murder
case. Some two days were requir-
ed in the selection of a jury and
the balance of the week was con.
sumed in the taking of testimony.
The state had subpoenaed some
twenty-eight witnesses and Drs.
A. &. Clark, of Wagner, and c. l..
Olson, Of Mcintosh, to give expert
medical testimony. States Attor-
ney w. l.. Wolf, assisted by l..
w. Henderson, represented the
prosecution and made an attempt
to show that Martin came to his
death by reason Of injuries receiv-
ed in fight with the accused.
The defense was represented by
Attorney p. G. Morrison, of this
city. Some twenty witnesses were
introduced, with Drs. A. j. But
ton, of this city, w. A. George, Of
Selby, and +. II. Creamer, of Du-
pree, as expert medical witnesses.
The theory advanced by the de-
tense was that of self defense, and
the testimony of the witnesses sus.
tanned that theory, the evidence
going to show the deceased to be
a degenerate and the aggressor in
the combat in which it was allep ed
that he received injuries which
caused his death. The sympathy
of the public in general was strong.
ly III favor Of LaPlant, which was
principally due to the fact that La.
Plant was at one time discharged
before the corOner's jury in this
city, and also liberated under a
JurisdictiOnal demurrer by Judge
Millard at the May term of the
federal court in Aberdeen.
The jury returned their verdict
after a deliberation of twenty min
utes.
Attorney =. G.. Morrison, of
this city conducted the LaPlant de-
fense before the cOrOner's jury, the
federal court and before Judge Car
penter in the circuit court Of Zie.
bach county. The able manner in
which he performed his duty indi-
cates a profound knowledge of
criminal procedure and endless
work on the facts surrounding this
homicide, which finally terminated
in his favor.
This ends one OF the hardest
fought criminal cases which has
been before the courts of this part
Of the state for several years.
