MAN TRIED FOR KILLING BERT
MORRISON Is FREED.
STATES CASE IS WEAK
DEFENDANT PRODUCED OVER 100
WITNESSES WHO ATTESTED TO
His GOOD CHARACTER.

Rapid City, q. D., Nov. 22-After an
expenditure of 81. 500 for detective ser
vices and unlimited work OF the part
of the authorities to link the acts of
Francis NJ Gage with the murder of
Bert Morrison, the jury brought in q
verdict OF not guilty in the circuit
court now in session in this city.
States Attorney Denu admitted that
the state had failed to bring sutticient
evidence to warrant conviction and
the judge directed the jury to bring in
the above verdict. The case was with
drawn from further consideration.
Francis M. Gage and Harry Andrews
were indicted jointly for the murder Of
Bert Morrison, who was found last jan
uary in shack near Canyon Lake, a
mile west of this city. A dog belong
ing to some hunter was discovered
gnawing at the oharred thoraX of Nor
rison in the ruins of the shaoa. From
the remains and conditions about the
shack the authorities concluded that
the body had been placed there after
the murder on pile of pitch wood and
the entire place ignited. By the
clothing still remaining unburned
under the armpits and trinkets ois-
covered with the body it WAS proven to
be that of Bert Morrison, bachelor,
who had lived alone on the outskirts of
the city for some years.
Detective Harry Edwards attempted
to show by REIMBURSEMENT papers from
Morrison to Gage that the latter had
gotten possession of Morrison's home
stead, near this city, and had then muir.
dered him. A. J. d. White testified
that he had received 50 from Gage for
"work" the nature of which he refused
to disclose, and several other witnesses
stated that they we're certain that Gage
was seen IN wagon in the vicinity of
the shack on the evening of the muir

kota.
Several witnesses are being retained
in the county Jail without bail, and it
is understood that the detective is
working on another clew in an effort
to bring the guilty party to justice 1t
is still believed that the trouble started
over the Morrison homestead, and that
the crime was committed in an attempt
to get the land.
