vAwTER ACQUITTED.
Unwritten Law Figured in Virginia
Murder Trial.

Christianburg, Va, May l0--Charles E
Vswter, former professor OF physics at
Virginia Polytechnic institute, was de-
clared not guilty last night of the muir
der of Stockton Heth, jr., wealthy
young society man and sportsman, whom
he shot to death in the Vawter home
early on the morning of March 10. The
jury was out two and half hours, but,
according to one juryman, only one bal
lot was taken. Nawter's defense had
been based on the unwritten law and self
defense.
After his scquittsl Vawter gave out
a statement criticising the prosecution
and the press "for the injustice done
Mrs. Vawter," who testified during the
trial that she had been intimate with
Heth, frequent visitor at the yawter
home.
81 greatly regret the whole sad affair
and sorrow caused" said the statement.
"The injustice done Mrs. Vawter by the
prosecution and press is the greatest blot
upon the whole sad affair. While l am
blameless as to Stockton's death real
ize that | have been guilty of weakness
when / should have been strong. The
future stares me darkly in the face, but
with Gods help viii endeavor to build
somewhere a happy home for my chill
dren and wife. My immediate plans are
to rest"
