ACQUITTED OF MURDER
JUDGE Maxwell inStruCts Jury to Re-
turn mot Guilty" Verdict In
RlnQoold County Murder Case.

After a trial lasting for ten days,
Elmer E. Williams, a farmer residing
near Redding in Ringgold county,
was acquitted of the murder OF his
father, John B. Williams, wealthy
farmer of Redding, whose body was
found in a hog lot on his farm a
couple of years ago, being badly eat
en- and mutilated by hogs, and re-
volver was found lying near him, the
case being taken from the jury by
Judge Maxwell, who at the close OF
the testimony instructed the jury to
return a verdict of mot guilty.,
sustaining a motion filed by defend
ants attorneys, whicn stated there
was no evidence which would be suf-
ficient to convict the defendant. This
case has attracted a great deal of at
tention in Ringgold county, having
been brought before several grand
juries and finally the attorney gener-
al was induced to take hand in look
ing up evidence, and at last an indict-
ment was returned against Elmer E.
Williams, the son of the deceased.
From reading the evidence subm-.-
ted at the trial, it certainly looks as
If Mr.. Williams had been unjustly
u.
ings that since the death of his wife
the deceased had been very despond-
ent, and had stated to several parties
that he had nothing to live for. He
disappeared from the home of his son
several days before his body was
found in the hog lot, but the son had
made inquiries about him, and had
searched for him, and it was not un-
usual for him to absent himself for a
few days at time, going away to
visit.
The Ringgold county attorney was,
assisted in the trial by assistant At
torney General John Fletcher, of Des
Moines, and they left nothing undone
to bring out all the facts in the case.
1t is terrible thing to be accused
of the murder of ones father, and
Mr.. Williams is to be congratulated
on the outcome of the trial.

Manchester Bros. Had Good Hog
Sale.

Tuesday was pretty disagreeable
day for a sale, but there was good
crowd of buyers from various parts
of Decatur county attended the Po-
land China hog sale of Manchester
Bros, a half mile south of the Leon
depot. 1t was strictly local sale,
and the boys were very we'll pleased
with the sale, the top being a year
ling SOW which brought $4,000. All
of the stock sold was bought by local
breeders, and they have secured
stock which will improve their herds
and make them good money. We
are mighty glad to see these good
hogs remaining right here in Decatur
county, for the Manchester boys are
breeding the right kind, and the hogs
sold Tuesday will improve the breed
ing of good hogs in this county.

w. B. Patton's latest comedy "The
Good Samaritan which will be pre-
sented at the Leon opera house, Dec.
II, is play that has won the un-
.stinted praise of public, press and
pulpit for being clean cut without
the sometimes overdrawn exaggera-
tions which are occasionally adopted
by an author to cover lack of realism
and talent. 1t is free from the
trashy blood and thunder situations
so often resorted to but is in all
things exceptionally strong and true
to nature. It has a vein of bright
and sparkling comedy running
through it, with plot that is at once
beautiful and gripping. The costumes
and scenic investure completely
eclipses anything heretofore attempt
ey by this company.
