FREE OSCAR LYONS
 IN PERJURY CASE

Oscar Lyons, a well known mer- chant of Republican, Faulkner county. was acquitted by jury in the circuit court of Searcy county at Marshall late last night of charge of perjury, according to messages received here this morning.
 Lyons was indicted by a grand jury in Van Buren county on a charge of giving false testimony in a case tried in that county of some defendants charged with the theft of an auto mobile near Damascus. The case was sent to Searcy county on a change of venue. The defendant claimed that the indictment was the result of spite work by some enemies who went be- fore the grand jury and sought to dis credit the testimony which Lyons had given in the automobile case.
 About 15 witnesses attended the trial from Faulkner county, several of them returning this morning, hav- ing left Marshall before the jury an- nounced its decision.

 During her limited engagement in Conway, she will appear in two of the most powerful of Ibsen's plays, Hedda Gabler and A Dolls House. Her pro- auction will be given March 15 and 16 at the high school auditorium, un- der the auspices of the Combined Ly- ceum Course.
