WARD Is ACQUITTED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Wild Scene in Court as Men and WO-
men Rise to Congratulate the
Freed Millionaire.

Whiteplaines, N. Y. Walter S.
Ward, acquitted of the charge of MUIR
der of Clarence Peters, former sail
or, was at home with his wife and
children a free man. A jury had
found not guilty of the sinister
charge that has hung over his head for
sixteen months. The verdict resem-
bled an anniversary gift for yester-
day was Wards thirty second birth
day.
A scene almost without parallel was
enacted in the courtroom when the
verdict was announced. The throng
of spectators rose to it's feet, pushed
and showed its way over chairs,
benches and the railing to Wards
side Most of the jubilant ones were
women and many of them were mem
bers of the fashionable colony of West
Chester county. They grasped Wards
hand and they threw their arms about
his neck and some tried to kiss him.
The trial was the climax of long
series of events in connection with the
killing. Peters body was found and
there was scarcely paragraphs mem
ton of the incident in the newspapers.
A few days later the body was iden-
titled. He was nobody" and that
incident also virtually escaped notice.
Then few days later Wards at
torneys came forward with a state
ment that their client had killed
Peters in self-defense as the result
of a blackmail plot against the veal
thy bakers son.
The case leaped into prominence.
Ward was indicated the first indict-
ment was dismissed, then Governor
Smith called a special grand jury
which again returned, an Indictment.
In all these proceedings the black
mail was never barred. 1t was not
even barred at the trial for the de-
tense. The defense did not call a
witness and Ward was not placed on
the stand
