ACQUITTED OF
MURDER CHARGE
Judge Instructs Jury That No
Evidence of Guilt Is
Introduced

Under the instructions of Circuit
Judge Robinson. the trial jury. with.
out leaving their chairs, returned a
verdict of acquittal this morning in
the murder case of Chun Kim Sut and
Chun Wong Shee. the Chinese couple
accused Of causing the death of their
infant child, Kwai, Sin, on July 81,
1912.
The hearing, which began only yes
terday morning, came to an abrupt
end at 1915 a. m. today. At 10
o'clock Prosecuting Attorney A. M.
Brown completed the Introduction of
his evidence. Attorney e. A. Dout-
hitt Immediately moved that the court
direct a verdict, without entering in
to the defense at all. The jury was
excused and left the courtroom during
the argument that followed, which
lasted only a few minutes. Douthitt's s
motion was granted, the jury was re-
called and directed to return the YER
Gict of acquittal.
In directing the jury Judge Robin
son said there was plainly no evidence
on which a verdict of guilt could be
reached, nothing to show the parents
had inflicted the fatal wounds or were
directly responsible for them.
In his argument on behalf of his
motion, during the jury's absence
from the room, Attorney Douthitt de-
clared there was no motive shown
and no evidence to even indicate that
the parents had contributed to the
death. and taking up the testimony of

Send HAIL OF

The bull dogs of modern ordnance
that are kenneled at Diamond Head
barked a warning this morning.
Twenty times the 12-inch mortars

tervals of 80 seconds, columns Of wa
ter rose in close proximity to the
small pyramidal target that trai;ed
behind the Ringgold three to four
miles OF shore.
This speck on the ocean marked
the point OF aim, any projectiie fall
ing within a 50-yard radius being
counted a hit Although the exact
record cannot be determined until the
observations taken from shore are
checked with those made by officers
on the tug, it was evident that ex-
cellent shooting was done, and had
the mortars been turned on hostile
