The verdict legally determines the
[identity of the boy taken from Walt

; gaily clears a mystery that presented
many unusual phases, including the
ability of a mother to identify her
own son. It means that the youth
claimed as their son will remain in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. tyunbar
here, where ho has been since the
arrest of Walter*-mare than, a year
ago, and that Julia AhderSon, now
HI In a New Orleans hospital, was
mistaken, when she testified at ; the
trial tbatthe boy was her own.

The Jury deliberated, from 11 o'clock
this morning, at which time Judge
Pavy had concluded the. delivery of
! his charge and the jury had retired.
The day bad been one.- of much ex
