H owvever, the pro ; secutinrg Ilawyers, Brockington, Parker, and Horowitz opposedl this motion so uessfully that lis Ionor ordered that the jury Ve sWornl anld the trial proceed. Nnne] wro us WitnexSe.s were xaminied and cross-examined y both the prosecution and de ense. It was shown by the tate that I1ollanld had hor oW(ed the rifle for the express Illrpose of shootinlg out Rock mnipes' window-palle, and that e later returned it, saying that e had accomplished his pur ose. On the other hand, the efense proved that the defend nt was u) towI shooting pool ,t the time of the alleged of nse. This latter showing ap arently made the greater im iressioll upon the jury and elped to satisfy the members hat they were not convinced eyond a reasonable doubt of he defendant's guilt. The ver [iet, accordingly, was "not uilty." All of the lawyers handled he case in a most creditable ashion, and 'Mr. Ilammond de erves the heartiest thanks of he association for the malner n which he conducted the trial.
