shot in self defense when he killed
his brother in-law, Jake Dulworth, 4
jury in the district court here, Sat
urday, returned a verdict OF not
guilty.
This trial has been one of interc st
and dispatch The principles of the
tragedy were well known residents
of this county and since it has been
less than one month since the killing
took place, the wheels of justice have
moved rapidly.
The state contended that Nation
entered the house and deliberately
murdered his brother-in-law while
Dulworth was asleep, while the de-
fense contended Nation spoke to Dull
worth, that Dulworth reached for his
gun and Nation shot in self defense.
The defense stated in its opening
oldltIltnl II "Oulu plONe IudJ Dul-
worth had been intimate with Ma
TONS daughter, and he went to the
house to talk the matter over, but
when he came in Dulworth woke up
and attempted to get his gun when he
fired in self defense The court over
ruled all the testimony offered by
the defense as to the relations of
Dulworth and Nations daughter and
forced the defense to rely on the
plea of self defense alone.
The selecting of jury and trial of
case consumed less than one day. \.
