MEDICINE MANS AcoUlTTAL CLOSED
 OLD MURDER CASE

RUBY. Dec. I.-The recent acQuit' tal at Fairbanks, of Old Toby, the native medicine man" who hao been on trial at two sessions of the court. Is the ending 80 far as legal procedure Is concerned of very re- markable case.
 The Record Citizen said of the ease:
 old Toby Is on aged medicine man" whose habitat Is at the con. iluence of the Koyukuk and Yukon rivers. He was very zealous ln main taining the powers and prerogatiyes of his position as prophet and inter. preter of occult phenomena.
 The native people generally fear him-as much, perhaps, on account of his obstreporousnes as for his al- leged power to make medicine" Be- tween him and Julius. Q lame Indian, there has long existed O feeling of distrust and scarcely concealed en- mity
 At the Ruby term of court, 1914, the grand jury returned Q true bill charging Old Toby with murder and while on his way to Fairbanks to be placed in tue federal jail he and Old Jimmy. another lower river Indian similarly charged. both leaped from Q steamboat into the Tanana river, and Old Jimmy was drowned.
 Old Toby was hshed out and In due course h,s case came up for trial at Ruby, August 8, 1915. He was de tended by P. Coke Hill and Phil Gal laher, and no better defense was pos. sible with the limited time afforded for mastering the intricacies of the case. which was made more difficult by the fact that old Toby and most of the other Indians were unable to speak English.
 Julius was the main witness for the prosecution. He told how Old Toby had followed an unknown white man up from the mouth of the Kuy- ukuk in tho summer of 1905, how the witness had heard shots and seen Q big smoke: and how later, the witness had found where the white mans boat had been burned in hole in the sand and with paddle had uncover ed burnt human flesh and bones
 The story told by Julius was re- markable for detail Notwithstanding the lapse of nine years. he replied to questions about seemingly trivial cir cumstances with Q readiness that car red conviction to some and suspicion to others. He was never evasive, never self-contradictory, and the se- quence of his story establishes his rank as genius either fin the art of fabrication or in the correlation of events that lead to an unmistakaole conclusion. In any event. Julius pos sesses an intellect that is unique in character.
 The jury was out forty-nine hours before @ m.strial was declared. and is said to have stood eight to four for conviction from the first.
 That the element of doubt entered forcibly into the minds of the Fair banks jurors Is evidenced by their verdict
