,Wilcox, Stucekey, arnd Rikes for
the defense, mtoved that the case
b e thrown out of court 0on se've
:ral grounrds. 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

n which he conducted the trial.
