FOUND NOT GUILTY.

The jury which heard Monday the
case of the State against Harrison
Townsend in Putney after two hours
elaboration returned verdict in the
evening of not guilty of the larceny of
oats from the barn of Fred Howard, a
merchant. Howard and Townsend were
the principal witnesses. The case was
of sufficient local Importance to pack
the town hall with spectators and to
cause the excusing of six members of
the original jury, requiring a panel of
seven men to be drawn from Bellows
Falls. This was done in the hope of
securing disinterested men. A letter
from Howard was introduced in
Townsend's behalf notifying him hat
if he wished to avoid court procedure
he could settle for $50.
