Boulder, Colo.-After only fifty-five
minutes deliberation, Constant J..
Darras, who was accused of having
murdered Noah Beeghley at Superior
during the strike troubles last jan
uary, was acquitted by jury in the
District Court. The case was in many
respects one of the most sensational
ever tried in Boulder county. 1t was
the first trial to take place involving
strike issues since the famous battle
at the Hecla mine last winter. Be-
cause of the influence which its out
come was expected to have on the
cases to be tried it was bitterly con-
tested. and was marked throughout by
frequent clashes between the attor-
neys.
A result of the trial will probably
be the dismissal of the information
against William Jones. who was ar
rested as an accomplice of the ac-
cused man.
