 Whisky Raid

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 12.-Rev. 0. W. Cant, charged with the murder of Anderson Green in a whisky raid con- ducted in Jefferson county last Septem- ber, was acquitted by a grand jury in the United States district court here this afternoon.
 The jury verdict was returned 25 minutes after Judge Ken Hicks had delivered his charge, the case having been on trial since Thursday and being concluded today just after noon. Cross-examinatio tion today of defense witnesses was centered largely on breaking down the evidence submitted yesterday by W. o. Hill, deputy prohi- bition agent, who testified that Rev. Cant did not pursue and fire at Green as had been charged by prosecution wit nesses. Counsel for the preacher-raid- CT introduced evidence today showing that the warrant brought against Rev. Cant was sworn out by one D. B. Har- gis, of Jefferson county, at the behest of Knoxville men.
 Hargis testified that after the death of Green and while visiting in Knox vile, W. Nj. Moore and Sula Anderson suggested that Cant be prosecuted for the murder. At their instigation, the witness said he swore out the warrant which also named B. F. Morris as a de- fendent. Evidence then produced was to the effect that Hargis did not know Morris or that the warrant contained his name. J. Arthur Atchley, Knoxville attorney, testified that he prepared the warrant against Cant and that the

 Senator Harrison said no announce ment of plans could be made at this time as it first would be necessary for the governor to consult with friends in Lincoln.
 In the afternoon Mir. Bryan was the guest of Senator Harrison at the Wash ington.C Cleveland baseball games and watched the play with eager interest. He played baseball in college and re- marked that he never missed a boxing match of horse race, if possible to at- tend.
