Mason was acquitted on the charge of aiaing and abetting his wife in the murder of Delavan S. Cole, August 1last. The jury deliberated on the verdict for twenty-six hours, and on the first ballot stood five against seven. Whether the ma- Jority favored conviction or acquittal cannot be ascertained, as the jury men bound them- selves by a solemn compact not to divulge the particulars of the vote. Mason was greatly affected by the action and broke down as he thanked the jury. A moment later Le left the court house in high spirits. In January last Mrs. Mason confessed to the deputy sheriff her connection with the affair, and a couple of days her hus- band was arrested. In February she made a confession in open court that she killed Cole and, pleading guilty to manslaughter, was sentenced to four years in the peni- tentiary. She claimed thut her husband er to kill Cole, promising that he in live with her if she got the interloper out of the way. She also claimea that her husband furnished h with the revolver and the weapon used played a very important part in the trial Since that time a divorce was granted on the ground of abandonment. The affair was one. of the most mysterious ever known in the state and the verdict of the jury mixes it up more than ever.
