Jones, of Villisca, is not entitled to
damages because Detective ]. N. Wilk-
erson accused him of guilty knowledge
or the murder Of Joe Moore, his fam
iIy ana Ms guests in the notorious Viii
Iisca az murders of June 9. 1912.
THAT is the verdict of the twelve
Montgomery county men who sat as
Jurors in the sensational 100000 SLAM
! der suit which Senator Jones brought
against Wi1kerson, and which finally
terminated in dramatic scene in the
Red Oak court house early this morn
ing when the Jury reported after twen-
ty-four hous' deliberation.
Fifteen Ballots Taken.
Fifteen ballots were taken by the
Jury before they arrived at a verdict
for Wilkerson, the turning point COM
ing shortly, before midnight when the
Jurors received additional instructions
from Judge Rockafellow.< The jurors
asked II they found for Wilkerson
whether or not this mean that there
would be an indictment of Senator
Jones OF others for the Moore murder.
Judge Rockafellow said that it was
not the business Of the jury to con-
slider this question at all, and the jury
retired and soon reached a verdict.
The Jury went out at 1885 Satur-
day night and came in at 1890 this
morning, The first ballot stood 8 to s.
the second 5sto in favor Of Wilkerson
and BY the time the fifth ballot was
taken last night the jury stood 10 to
in favor of Wilkerson. During the
day while the stormy deliberations In
the Jury room continued the ballot
stood s to in favor Of Wilkerson but
\ later III the night stood II to 4 for the
detective. Then the jury asked for fur
tiier instructions and it is probable
reached verdict an hour or 50 before
they came into court.
Few Present to Hear Verdict.
II was flve minutes past312 Sunday
nfglit when knock on the door Of the
Jury room announced an agreement.
Judge Rockafellow had already retired
and III was 12: 30 o'clock when Foreman
], w. Watt read the verdict, 1--WE, the
Jury, find for the defendant"
There were but few spectators in the
court room, Wilkerson was the only
principal present. Thank the Lord :
II Isyilkerson was heard to utter as the
jsry's verdict fell from the lips Of the
foreman, and he Immediately rushed to
the Jury bog and 'grasped the hands Of
each jtirymaif;
sMhes ten to two ratio Of the vote was
maintained practically all day Sunday
until O'Clock. when only one juror
Was holding back, he believed verdict
for Wtllserson meant an indictment of
IenAs. and the question was sent to
Judge Rockafel1ow.
Jury Sings and Wesps.
Singing OF hymns mingled with tears
marked the JuTy's deliberations. -Wnen
the Roll is Called UP Yonder" was one
Sof the hymns sung.
Senator Jones' and counsel decline to
comment for publication on the verdict.

BATTLE FOR
POSITION ON
BUzEU RIVER.
R0umanians to Make Stand
Along Southern Moldav-
ian Boundary.
TEUTONIC ADVANCE
TEMPORARILY HALTED
Russians Hammer Away at Austro-
German Lines in Western Moldavia
in Effort to Cut Thru Into Hungary
and Sever Teutonic Supply Lines
Leading Into Roumania From the
North.

4 Indications today point more
strongly than ever to the probable
ity that the new defensive line OF
the Roumanians, following their re-
treat from Bucharest, will be drawn
along the Buzeu river, forming the
southern boundary of the northern
province of Moldavia.'
Additional reports from Petro-
srad indicate considerable meas
ure of success of the Roumanian
northern army in holding the Teu-
tonic army along the railroad from
Poloehti to the town Of Buzeu, To-
Gated at about the center Of the
Euzeu river line, which stretches
eastward to the lower reaches OF
the Danube.
1t is necessary to the apparent
purpose of the Roumanians for
them to prevent an Austro- German
advance hsre until the Roumanian
forces farther south In eastern
Wallachia, retreating from the re-
sion between Bucharest and
Tchernavoda, have reached the
Buzeu river line, unless, indeed, the
Roumanian military authorities
have decided to retain a hold on q
greater part of Wallachia than it
now seems their determination to
defend.
These forces are threatened by
new contingents OF BulEarians who
have crossed the Danube between
Sillstria and Tchernavoda.
Meanwhile the Russians are ham
mering away at the Austro-German
line in western Moldavia and re-
port success. Their object apparent
ly Is not only to hold the Moldavia
frontier safe but possibly to achieve
a Shccess in breakig thru into
eHungarS and cutting In behind the
Austro German supply lines lead
ing into Roumania from the north.
There has been little fighting Of
an important nature on the other
fronts. In Macedonia the Serbians
report having driven the Bulgarlans
back in one section northeast Of
Monastir~
On the western front there is
little activity except for artillery
operations on the Somme and avia
ton operations son a considerable
scale.
