KLUXEN BOY FREED IN MURDER Of GIRL
Public Clamor and Religious Hate
 Caused Prosecution /

New York, July l5.-Francis Klux en Sd was acquitted yesterday in the supreme court of Morris county of the murder of Janet Lawrence, the II year old girl whose body pierced with knife wounds was found under a log in Kluxen's Woods. near Madison, N. J.. on October 6 last.
 II took a jury imported from Es- sex county three hours to determine the innocence of the 5 year old boy defendant. An attempted demonstra- tion over the verdict was checked sharply by Justice Charles w. Par ker, who had previously warned against manifestations of any kind. The defendant betrayed no emotion even when Charles Spenger Of IT, vington, foreman of the jury. boomed out stentorian, Not guilty!" His demeanor throughout the trial has given the impression of such confi- dence in his innocence that a vindi- cation caused neither relief nor sur prise.
 Mrs. Grace Kluxen,. his mother, col lapsed when the verdict was an-

 Charges Religious Hate.
 The remarks Of Elmer King, chief counsel for the accused boy, showed the resentment felt by the family over what they term the persecution of the residents of the small community of Madison. One of the grounds af- vanced for the unpopularity of the kluxen family was a religious antag- onism. Mrs. kluxen is a devout Cath olic, and the boys uncle is engaged in the manufacturing sacramental wines. One of the contentious of the defense was that the process of put ting the grapes through the presses was responsible for the red stains on the boys khaki trousers and shirt Commenting upon the verdict Attor- ney King said;
 "The best jury Essex county could furnish found the defendant not gull ty I hope the verdict will still the public clamor and the virus manifest ed against this boy by the people of the borough of Madison. During the trial this lad has not had one kind word from any one in Madison"
 The feeling in Madison apparently spread to the surrounding country. for in spite of the intense public interest and excitement in Morristown during the trial there was no attempt at a jubilation over the verdict as the Kuxen boy pushed his way through the crowd and stepped into the auto mobile that was to take the family back to their home.
 The only comment he made was I'm glad it's all over. Now l can go home"
