PORTLAND, Or., Dec, 15.—A decision upen a unique point by Judge Bellinger court has resulted In the clearing of Frank Winnishut, the Indian accused of murdering Officer Pelatt on the Warm Springs reserva- tion. The jury was instructed to return a verdict of not gulity. No parallel to the point rgfsed by the defense could be found in the legal rec- ords.

He was racing about on a horse, when two Indian officers undertook to arrest him. Policeman Abraham seized the reins of the bridle. Pelatt stepped up to the horse's haunches. Winnishut objected to being arrested and, drawing a kn at- | tempted to cut the reins to release his horse. Abraham threw a handkerchief about the neck of Winnishut and tried to drag him from the horse. The hand- kerchief tore and the sudden release caused Winnishut to rebound back- ward in the saddle, throwing him off. The momentum of his body threw hiz hands backward and the knife inflicted a mortal wound upon Pelatt, who was back of Winnishut. —_————— SENDS GYPSY MYSTIC TO THE CITY PRISON | Nomadic Teller of Fortunes Charged | ‘With Revealing the Future With- out Paying Municipal License.
