Doctors Evidence Favors Defendant.

that he was unable to find anything

death was caused by blow.

connect death with the blow Hewitt
received. and all of the physicians
swore that they had been unable to
form any opinion as to what did cause
death.
DR.. Mannar thought death might pos

the other physicians were of the opin-

received for the shock to have killed.

| ROCKVILLE. Nd, April 1.-The jury
! in the case of Franklin c. Boswell, or
| trial charged with the murder of Aaron
! r. Hewitt, bailiff of Rockville, returned
a verdict of manslaughter today, and
Judge Crner sentenced young Boswell
to one year in Jail.
In pronouncing sentence Judge UrneT
said that Notwithstanding the testi-
mony of several surgeons and physi-
clans to the effect that neither the
te-mortem or post-nlortem examina-
tions of Hewitt's skull and brain dis
closed evidence that the blow he re-
ceived with a whisky bottle in the
hands of young Boswell caused his
death. he could not rid his mind OF
the belief that the blow really was
responsible for Hewitt's death. The
fact that Boswell had offered u sub
stantial cash payment to the injured
man. the court said, was evidence that
Boswell was not free from apprehen-
sion that his act was responsible for
the death of Hewitt.
Counsel for Boswell noted an appeal
to the state court of appeals, and Bos-
we'll was released on $500 bond.
Testimony Closed Late Yesterday.
