MRS. SMITH NOT
GUILTY SAYS JURY
[RepubIican A. P. leased wIre1


DENVER, March 30.-Prisoners in
the county Jail, less than hundred feet
from the court room where she was on
trial, cheered today when they heard
that Stella Newton Moore Smith had
been acquitted of the charge of murder
ing her husband, John Lawrence Smith.
The verdict came at l2:15 O'Clock. and
ii took the jury nine minutes. one of
the shortest times on record, to
reach it.
Mrs. Smith was so nearly overcome
by her acquittal that she was unable
TO express herself coherently. She re-
ceived the verdict quietly, and as soon
as the clerk had read it, rushed for
ward and shook hands with the jurors
as they filed from the box her face
radiant
Mrs. Smith declined to enter a closed
car friends had ordered for her, but.
asked and was given a seat in an open
automobile for the trip away from the
scene of her imprisonment and trial.
She was driven first to a downtown
office building, where her daughter
Mildred and her former husband w. A.
Moore. were awaiting her The three
met on the sidewalk and held re
union which touched pedestrians who
saw it.
From the office building Mrs. Smith
and her daughter were driven directly
to the home in fashionable section of
the city, where Smith was shot, and
where, it was said, the freed woman
would remain some time.
Two hours after her acquittal, Mrs.
Smith was guest of honor at luncheon
at a local hotel, where Mrs. w j. Nc
Michael a Detroit detective who ac-
companied Mrs. Ross c. Brown to
+
the trial were guests. Mrs. Browns
testimony tended to disprove ore of the
states ma ior contentious in the case,
that of Mrs. Smiths alleged friendli-
ness for her husband shortly before
his death.
