Edwards occupied the whole of last week in its trial. There were in the neighborhood of two hundred witnesses in attendance, the majority ef whom were from the north part of the county where the trrgedy oc- eured. The State was represented by Miles S. Horn, Prosecuting Attorney and H.C. Clark and A. L. Graves, while the defence was represented by Smith & Denton and Silvers & Sil-| vers. It is conceded that the case was fought hard on both sides and the attorneys are praised for the | able speeches made at the close. The | of continued prosperity ease was submitted to the jury late | Saturday evening and we learn that @ verdict of acquital was certain af- | ter the first ballot, the jury holding | verdict ‘till all features of the case | eould be fully reviewed. On the first | ballot Sunday morning the defend- | ant was acquitted and Judge Graves | and other officers of the court were | sent for to receive the verdict. The history of this case is about as follows: David C. Edwards and | Martin i. Shafer were brethers-in-law | and had frequent difficulties and one er more suits in thecourts.
