111,10 AND ILDEItTON
FOUND NOT (GUILTY
Tried at Vlorenuce for Killing Dr. Wit.
Rderton, Father of One of Defend
ants. Court Directs Verdict.
Floreice, March t4.-J. Wilbur
Hicks a young attorney of this city,
and Geddings Ilderton, aged about- 21,
also of Florence, were this after
noon declared not guilty of the mur
der of Dr. William Ilderton, father of
the last named defehdant, in circuit
court here, Judge Ilayne F. Rico, of
Aiken, l'esiding.
The killing of Dr. Ilderton grew out
of circumstances connected with the
legal separationl of the deceased and
his wife, and the tragedy occurred on
tile day set for a hearing in Mrs. Ilder
ton's suit for alimony. It was alleged
that )r..lderton, a man of at times un
controllable temper, was bitter lin his
hat red toward those arraigned against
hlm particularly so toward J. Wil
bur Hicks, a defendant, who was 'Mrs.
liderton's counsel. Geddings Ilderton,
also, it appears, was on the side of his
mother, although there was no evi
dence to show that lie had any malice
for his father.
An unusual feature of the trial was
the direction of the verdict of ac
qittal by Judge Rice upon motion of
ihe lion. J. Monroe Speara, of counsel
for the defense. In instructing tle
;iury to return a verdict of not guilty
.luldg'e 111c stated that lIe was con

however, that either of the tilree shots
