Went to the Jury Yesterday
After Two Days
Hearing.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY
The Indictment Against Ern-
est Wilson, COL, For
Murder, Is Dismissed.

The case against Geo. S. Beard,
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses from Miss Mabel
Maddux and others in contest con-
Quoted for the Hopkinsville Kentuck-
ian in August, 1914, was begun We'd
nesday and the following jury from
the regular panel accepted by both
sides without challenges:
Jno. T. East, Lewis Handy, Leon
ard Fuller, G.. H. Major, B. F. Nc
Kinney, II. M. Cornelius, J. NJ.
Dollins, F. M. Dulin, Gus X. Stephens,
John Murphy, Ira Harris and W. P.
Ward.
The trial was entered into Thursday
morning and argument was begun by
the attorneys at II o'clock yesterday.
The Commonwealth introduced
Mrs. c. F. Shelton, to whom the first
prize in the contest, an automobile
valued at 1923, was awarded by
Beard, the contest manager, following
count Of the votes. She elected to
take $500 in cash in lieu of the car and
was paid that amount. She did not
remember how much money she
paid in.
Chas. NJ. Meacham, proprietor of
the Kentuckian, stated that he en-
ployed Beard to conduct the contest
ona commission and that after award
ing the car to Mrs. Shelton, Beard
failed to account for $500 the voting
slips turned in showed she had paid to
him. He took Boards receipt for
the amount due him also the shortage
and attempted later to adjust it with
him in a final settlement, but never
did. Beard never accounted TO
him for any part of the $500 and
when Miss Maddux complained to
him, he set aside the award to Mrs.
Shelton, although $500 had been paid
to her, and gave Miss Maddux the
automobile. He also returned sever
al hundred dollars to other contest
ants and satisfied all complaints. Mrs.
Mable Boyd Anderson, T. L. Morrow,
E. G. Shelton and L. j. Maddux were
other Commonwealth witnesses. The
defendant entered general denial of
fraud and claimed that he turned over
all money collected.
The court instructed the jury to
consider the question as to whether
Beard had obtained money under
false pretenses, regardless of any
subsequent settlement of Beard with
Meacham.
Frank Rives, attorney for the de-
tense, spoke for one hour, taking the
ground that the evidence was insult
fcient to convict and pleading for his
acquittal.

spoke for the prosecution after the
noon vacation and the case went to
the jury at the conclusion of his
speech and at o'clock verdict of
not guilty was returned.
