verdict of acquittal was rendered by the
jury in the case of Thomas j. Garrett OF
Linden, this county, who was tried in the
Circuit Court here Monday on an indict-
ment charging him with an assault with
intent to murder Mrs. Saidee C. Hutton, in
the home of the latter at Linden the even
ing of November 6 last, by shooting her
with revolver. The case was given to
the jury shortly after 8 O'Clock Monday
night.
Mrs. Hutton was the principal witness
for the prosecution. She charged that
Garrett visited her home with the inten-
tion of killing her because she had refused
the evening before to elope with him to
Arizona. She denied, as contended by the
defense, that any improper relations had
existed between her and Garrett, and also
swore he had never contributed to her
support.
Garrett testified that he had been paying
Mrs. Hutton attention for some time prior
to the shooting, and admitted being in
fatuated with her. Because of the plead
ings of his aged mother. he made up his
mind to break off the relations, which he
declared, had been improper and that the
evening of November 9th he went to the
home of Mrs. Hutton to tell her of his de-
