Slayer Of March !
Is Freed by Jury

George Rose, IS years old, is q
free man because a jury in the Fay
cite Circuit Court at twenty minutes
to four Tuesday freed him Of a.
charge of killing E. L. March, Lex
ington furniture dealer, on the
ground that he fired the fatal shots
under stress Of temporary emo,
tional insanity. March had been
under indictment, charged with as
saulting Roses 14-year- grand
daughter, Mary Margaret Rose. The
crowd in the courtroom cheered
from every corner of the public in
stitution when the jury brought in
the verdict, Judge Kerr ordering
their arrest, but no arrests were
made. The jury brought in the ver-
dict after ten minutes consideration
of the evidence.
Both Harry Miller and W. c. G..
Hobbs for the defense, declared that
"after one had heard the story of
Mary Margaret, twelve men could
not find a man guilty for what Rose
had done. Miller, in declaring Rose
was temporary unbalanced, said:
"Rose had but one thought on
his mind, thought of his little
granddaughter, assaulted, 14-year-
old girl who would be pointed out as
a girl that was not pure, and all be-
cause of disgusting, lustful man
of past middle age and with a wife
and family"
"We ask for no compromise ver-
dict. Either return to us an unqual-
flied acquittal or we ask you to i'm
pose the severest penalty that you
can impose under the law-ceatn."
Keene Daingerfield, Assistant
County Attorney, said:
II am the father of little girl.
I know how George Rose felt when
such thing happened to his grand
daughter. 1 would have done what
George Rose has done, but I would
have sincerely hoped that the jury
would have been composed of men
with sufficient courage to send me
to the penitentiary for the rest Of
my life"
In closing the case, Common
wealth Attorney Hogan Yancey de-
clared: .e.
"Rose made a pledge to his son on
his deathbed in which he had prom
ised to protect the child with HIS
life. He has declared that he would
have killed March despite this, out
of love for his granddaughter, and
he comes into the courtroom hiding
and seeking liberty, not willing to
pay for the carrying out of his
pledge, behind a plea of temporary
insanity"
DR.. George P. Sprague, specialist
in mental and nervous diseases, and
DR.. C. A. hewitt, answering hypo-
thetical question, said they believed
the man insane when he fired the
shot. Police Judge John j. Riley
and Magistrate Charles p Dodd, I'M
whose office Constable Rose was
employed, both testified as to Roses
peculiar actions after the indict-
ments were returned against March.

PRICE OF DRINKS GO UP
Thirsty Ones in New York City Have
More Trouble
New York World)

The price of whisky has been in
creased from % to 40 per cent in the
last two weeks by strict adherence to
the policy of allowing only minimum
amounts of liquors to be withdrawn
on permits to buy, Charles r. O'Con-
nor, State Director of Prohibition,
said recently.
There has been reduction of about
one-third in the withdrawal of liquor
from warehouses, Mr.. O'Connor as
serted and the short market has nat
urally forced up prices.
Mr.. O'Connor has installed a card
index by which he hopes to keep
track OF numbers OF permits sent in
by persons with right to purchase
whisky Preliminary trial of this sys-
tenn has enabled him to trace half a
dozen methods of fraudulently OBJ
tanning whisky, the Prohibition Di-
rector said.
He predicted the elimination of
most illicit whisky dealers within a
short time because of this card index
checking-up system.
