JUDGE FREED or CHARGE
Jason L. Light Is Acquitted Of Nal
feasance in Office.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
ParagOuld.-AIter the state had
practically concluded its evidence in
the trial of Jason L. Light, county and
probate judge, under Indictment for
alleged malfeasance in office Circuit
Judge Frank Smith peremptorily in.
structed the jury to return a verdict
in favor of the defendant. This action
came when S, X. Simpson, counsel for
the defendant, moved that the case
be thrown out OF court on the ground
that the transaction on which the in
dictment was based transpired more
than three years prior to the time the
indictment was found, and was hence
barred by the stateute of Imitation
In the statement of the case to the
jury, NJ. p. HuddIeston, leading coun-
sci for Judge Light, announced that
the defendant had Cancelled vouchers
and checks showing that all of 81 500
that came into his hands as the result
OF the sale Of portion of the county
farm was expended on road work in
the county and that Judge Light had
not misappropriated any portion Of
the amount, It was the disposition Of
this fund during 1906, when Judge
Light was serving his first term, that
gave rise to the indictments which
were returned against him in Octo-
Der, 1911, Mr.. Huddleston also charg-
ed that political "animus" was back
Of the indictments.
