Or. johnson Not Guilty.

Special from Richmond, va.-Dr
Lemuel Johnson acquitted OF the
charge OF murder by jury ten minutes
after their retirement
The attorneys for the state bitterly
arraigned DR. Johnson in making their
arguments to the jury "Hc tries to
fool this jury as he did Alice Knight. :"
cried Attorney A. II. Hopkins, for the
state.
Attorney Smith, representing DR.
Johnson, declared,
III DR.. Johnson wanted poison for
criminal purposes. he would not have
ordered 1t on his professional station
cry. nor would he have gone to the
drug store where he is known and
obtained It,"
Referring TO the love letters written
10 Miss Ollie White. Zebulon. y. c..
music teacher Mr. Smith said
johnson was guilty OF procrastlna
ton, and perhaps cowardice, in not
telling Miss White OF his marriage to
Miss Knight but nowhere has the
state shown that Johnson gave or sent
his wife the poison which they charge
caused her death, to get rid OF her
and marry Miss White He loved his
wife and she loved him"
