INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Feb IT
 -Acquittal of Gov. Ed Jackson, who has been on trial on charge of conspiracy to commit a felony in an attempt to bribe. has been ordered by Judge Charles M. Me Cabe, of the Criminal Court.
 Judge McCabe said the State failed to prove concealment of the alleged crime which was necessary to be proved, to get around the statute of limitations and keep the case in the Courts. The state, he said. was bound to prove not only the commission of the alleged crime bnt that 1t had been concealed for approximately four years under the law.
 The Court held the indictment charging the offense should alone have been returned within two years of tine date of the alleged commission, December s. 1923.
 Gov. Jackson was indicted late fin 1927.

 Before rendering judgment. Judge McCabe launched into an attack on the Ku Klux Klan and said: How any Governor of Indiana could have believed for one moment that the Klan could control verdicts of courts, can not possibly see. am perfectly aware of the slime and disgrace of that organization. There is nothing more regrettable in the history of Indiana than that or ganization and it's participation in politics. It has resulted in dis honor to the State of Indiana"
