WIFE SLAYER ACQUITTED. Negro Quickly Found Not Guilty by a Columbia Jury. Columbia, June 6.--"'There is no higher law than the law of South Car olina, which I have just tried to charge you." These were the words of Judge Dan tzler this afternoon in concluding his very forceful charge in the case of John Jacobs, colored, tried for the murder of his wife, but which fifteen minutes after the Judge's impressive words were spoken, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, evidently bas ed on the unwritten law. The verdict was greeted by ap plause from the large crowd of neg roes present, but this demonstration was quickly suppressed by the Court. Jacobs started out of the Court House, but Judge Dantzler iromptly ordered the sheriff to keel) him in custody, as Jacobs killed two persons, and wastoday tried for killing only one of them. One Saturday night last month Ja cobs went to his home in Waverly and found his wife asleep inl bed with Will Johnson, a negro man. Jacobs took a hammer and crushed the skull of each, as they lay in their guilty slumber. lie then went to the house of his employer, i negro carpeniter, and informed him of his deed and proceeded to the police st-ation, where he gave himself up. The woman was killed ins-tantly, and Will Johnson died two days later. A plea of temporary insanity was entered for Jacobs by his attorney, whon the negro was put on trial to day for the murder of his wife. The prosecution sought to prove that Ja oobs had not been living with his wife, and that lie had not been faith ful to her. It was also brought out that lie had gone into the house through a window with the hammer, although lie did not know of John son's presence until after he entered. In his charge Judge Dan.tzler gave no aftention to -(he plea of temporary insanity, but clearly stated the legal definitions of murder and manslaugih ter. IHe cointluded hv saying there is no higher law tham the law of' South Car olina. It is presumed that Solicitor Tim nermanl will AeM. on the Judge's sug gestion and hand out. another indiet ment for the muirder of Will Johnson. News From Excelsior.
