Remarkably the jury was on
shortly after IL pm. with a verdict
of not guilty. According to reports
the first poll stood IL to 1 for
acquittal. The court scene upon
the return of the jury was dra-
matte. Taylor, partially crippled,

resident of Minneapolis for 40
years, was overjoyed at the YER

The wife Of Peterson, the slain

who also had attended the trial,

verdict was read which freed the
man who shot her husband in self
defense. She wept profusely as
she had done many times during.
the trial.
Numerous spectators expressed
much sympathy for the widow but
none for Peterson, the dead man
who testimony given in the trial
showed was troublesome and bel
igerent. ......
Taylor and his wife both thank
ed the jury upon which sat James
Horris, 1921 18th Ave. &c., a col
ored man.
Spectators, black and white, who
awaited the jury's verdict rushed
forward surrounding the Taylors,
showering them with congratula-
tons.
States Witnesses Aid Defense
Arthur Markve, assistant county
attorney, assisted by Andrew
Grumpy, county attorneys inves-
tigator, prosecuted Taylor.
Taylor was defended ably by At
torneys Neil Hughes, white, and
Harry L. Scott. -. ..
One of the deciding factors in
the case was that the states chief
witnesses, William Weiner and AL
Branson, both white men, in their
testimony actually bore out the
story upon which Taylor based his
defense-that he only shot Peter
son in self-defense-when the lat
ter pursued him in a threatening
manner with a quart ginger ale
bottle poised to strike. ,..
Fail to Shake Witnesses
Markve's attempt to shake the
testimony of his own star witnesses
was unsuccessful and -only made
the states case appear weaker.
