MRS. 0LDS ACQUITTED OF MURDER AFTER OUT
 FORTY EIGHT HOURS
Walter Powell, Charged with Murder in Bisbee, Now on Trial in the Superior Court. Federal Charge Preferred.

TOMBSTONE, Jan. 17-(SpeciaD- The jury in the case of the State vs. Annie NJ. Olds, after being out from Friday evening at five o'clock until yesterday at noon, brought in yer dict as acquittal.' While there was some talk that she would not be con- victed before the case went to trial, it was the general opinion. after the case had been presented by the coun- ty attorney for the State, that there would be a verdict of conviction ai the hands of the jury
 All sorts of rumors are rife as to how the jury stood but the most gen. eral one seems to be that on the first ballot they stood six to six. The yer dict was not a popular one here anG is the cause for much comment nearly as much so as did the verdict in the Haigler case a few years ago.
