vi. ID. Stallard
Not Guilty On
Murder Charge

BRISTOL, Tenn, Dec. 1.-THE
jury returned verdict of not guilty
in the case of M. D. Stallard, charged
with having shot and killed L. Oswald,
prominent Kingsport real estate deal
er on August 26. Witnesses testi-
mony in the case ended Tuesday even
ing and the argument was taken up
by attorneys yesterday morning, last
ing ssarougiI the gfct.cuT part VII the
day. The jury was out about two
hours, and court adjourned last night
about eight o'clock.
Considerable interest has been eyin-
ced in the case, and numerous friends
of Mr.. Stallard crowded the court
room during the three days trial.
Upon the announcement of the decis-
ion of the jury by its ofreman, the
large crowd which had remained in
the court room during the entire day,
broke out with applause. Judge d.
A. Vines, who presided in the court
room, called the assembly to order and
adjourned the court after having ex-
tended his congratulations and thanks
to the jurors.
For a period, during the first hours
of the trial, considerable doubt was
expressed by attorneys as to the decis-
ion. While evidence for both sides of
the case was strongly presented and
equally argued by attorneys, it is
thought that sentiment had hand in
the final decision of the members of
the jury Stallard, on trial for his
life, sat through the long hours of the
court with his eyes riveted on the at
torneys. His attitude was held be-
yond rcproach, although at times,
when the voices of his children VINO
were seated directly behind rose above
the speakers voices, it was apparently
a struggle to suppress his feelings,
