He showed In an unmistakable way, that he was delighted, and a happier smile played over his features than has been in evidence there for many a month. He joined his relatives and friends outside the court house, and in spite of the taciturn manner of the natives, there was evident joy. The jury had been out. only about twenty minutes when the decision was reached. Upon the announcement of the decision of ndt guilty, Mr. Justice Gregory informed the accused that he felt the decision was quite justified. He warned him", however, that there would be a great deal of suspicion attaching to him by the public. It would be up to him to behave well and live it. down. If in the past he had been using liquor, he should henceforth leave it alone altogether. Evidence Resumed. Upoa resuming the trial yeeterday morning, Chief Minty of the provincial police at Hazelton, gave evidence relative to the investigations made by the police, and what had been discovered. The evidence of William J. Lynch taken at the former trial was put in by W. E. Fisher for the Crown. This was the evidence that gave the trouble the day before, owing to the transcription of the notes giving the name as William H. Lynch. Fred Peters, K. C for the defense, to take a case from the jury. He felt he would let the jury decide. Mr. Peters said he would not call an*- evidence. Mr. Fisher's Address. Mr. Fisher in addressing the jury, pointed out that circuims.tantial evidence was often stronger than direct evidenoe. He contended that the Indian, May, was seen crossing the river with a white man. Later Taylor and an Indian, both intoxicated, were heard coming up the hill at South Haaelton. May wae recognized by Williams. Taylor, who should have been on duty tried to conceal himself from Williams, who was his superior. This was but a short distance from the scene of the killing. Allusion was made to the pocket-book found under the body, and to the hat nearby, with the name John May written on the sweat band. The fitting in of the parts of the bottle was also brought to the attention of the jury. The fact that the neck of the bottle was found at the scene of the murder, and the bottle Itself In. Biernes boat, indicated that the trouble all arose over the whisky. The Indian had taken the bottle back with him and inteaaed to cross by the Dlernes boat, but could not, owing to one oar being lost. He presumed that the Indian threw away his shirt, there, because he did not want to be found with stains on. He rummaged through the ohinainaii's shack to try to get a change of clothing. Finding he could not get over by the boat, he went to the ferry. Finding it not locked he took the ferry and crossed objected to this going in, but His A pair of trousers wet, as though they Lordship allowed it, the court steno- had been washed were found in the grapher, Mr. Fertenmacher testifying I room where John May was in bed. that the initial was in error. Brother Called. Joseph May, the 19-year-old crippled' brother of the prisoner, testifie*" that he lived with his family at Hazelton. The accused lived with them. Witness saw his brother on Sept. 28 last year. John had got a horse on that day and went for a ride with a lady. Witness was not there when he came hack. He saw Address Hy Adair Carss. Adair Carss for the defence, in his address for the defence, wanted them to guard against any feeling that might creep in unconsciously of prejudice against the Indian. In tracing the evidence given, Mr. Carss contended there was no connection shown of the accused with the crime. He pointed out that there was a 'lack of evidence at all points, to identify I John putting the horses In the field, both Taylor and May at any stage He did not see him again that day He could not remember the time. The next time he saw John, wae whei he came home sometime after dark. To the court he said this was in lhe evening. This was an Sept. 28. Witness looked at the clock sometime after John came home. It was 12:30. This concluded the evidence for the Crown. With regard to the presumption that the coat on the murdered man was that of May, Mr. Carss contended that lf the men had earlier been together and drinking together, there might have been a change of coats. It was fair to suppose that they changed hats also, which accounted for John May's hat being near the man's body. He cautioned the jury against placing too much reliance on the circumstantial .evidence adduced, -here was C"l"H«HHHKHKH'H""ltt«H^^ AUSTRIANS ON THE DEFENSIVE Verona, June 18.—The Austrians have now strengthened their forces and taking the offensi-*-, both from Mori and Rovereto against the Italians, who are camping at Brenton.ico, and at Zra- valle ln the Arsa Valley.

SEDITION AND LIQUOR SEENED TO GO TOGETHER Ross Bell Was Acquitted Of Conspiring Against the Empire While Celebrating The Annual Issue of Free Miner's License. Ross Bell, who testified that he came from Prince Edward Island in company with Kenneth Smith, who hailed from Baie de Chaleur, was yesterday acquitted of the crime of sedition in the Assize Court. It was charged that on May 23, with our na-1 tion at war with Germany and Canadians serving in the war, he had said, "I hope the Germans will cut the hearts out of every d d Ca-1 nadian that goes over there." The! language it was alleged, was used publicly and was calculated to influence enlisting for service. In putting forward a plea of not guilty, Bell could not recall that he ever used the language, and unqualifiedly denounced the language. He was drunk at the time, which he contended was an annual practice of his, taking place at the time he came into the town to renew his miner's certificate. In discharging the accused after he had been found not guilty by the jury, Mr. Justice Gregory said he felt, that if the words hart been uttered by him, he had now eaten his words. "I advise you" he added, "to be more careful when you are renewing your liquor license." Mr. Manson submitted that the case mi_"it well be taken from the jury. His Lordship suggested that surely if his client wished to show he meant nothing by this, he might give evidence. Mclntolmey was called. He was present at the time. The accused had known the man for seven months. He had heard him say, re- fering to his own country, that it was a good little country. He never remembered any suggestions of disloyalty at any time. Cross examined by Mr. Fisher, witness said he had not heard the words uttered. To the court, he said Bell was in- toxfcwte*". Ross Bell being called, testified that he was born on Prince Edward Island. He came to Vancouver In 1S84. He was now 54 years old. He had lived only about a year and a half out of Canada.

Fisher for the Crown in om- lining the case to the jury said, this was '.he first case of this kind that had been heard in this part of the country. It was a serious charge. He felt that they would have no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that the words were uttered Ii would be for them to decide whether the words were meant. F. M, Clancy, the first witness testified that -on May 23, at the Prince Rupert Club boat-house, he heard the accused say "I hope the Germans will cut the hearts out. of every d d Canadian that goes over there." Witness was with some other men. Witness testified that he knew that a state of war existed at tlie time between the British Empire and the Germans. Cross examined by Alex.

He was the aggressive. The defense of Crosby was a very- honest one, or a very clever one. He pointed out that, anyone unlawfully assaulted, was justified in repelling it with force. The force used in self- defense was such as was necessary only. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. Skeena Land District — District of Queen Charlotte Islands.
