By Staf Correspondent.

By STAFF correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. ,29:-
Judge Daily in the Court of Quarter
Sessions this morning granted the
motion of Horace Barwis, counsel for
the defendant, for a directed verdict
of acquittal Of Joseph Vince. of New
Brunswick, who was indicted for Sc
dition on July 16 on a Pennsylvania
train running from New York to New
Brunswick.
He was taken from the train here
upon complaint of the train crew.
His attorney made a motion before
the court that a directed verdict be
given on the grounds that the testi-
mony was not for the crime for
which he was indicted. The indict-
ment charges that Vince advocated
the death of President Wilson by
saying: IF 1 get the chance I will
kill President Wilson," Judge DAILY
announced that under the statute
under which this nan was indicted
he would have to incite or encourage
others to commit the crime. whereas
his statements were threats as to
what he himself would do.
Vince when brought to the court
pleaded not guilty and has since been
out under $4,000.
