Silent About Her Plans. '
DENVER, Nov. 29. Gertrude Gibsow
Patterson, accused of the murder of
her husband, Charles A. Patterson,
whom she shot to death while the
couple were walking together In a sub
urb on September 25 last, was declared
not guilty today by a Jury in the Dis
trict Court.
ins verdict was - announced
was - announced more
than two
hours after the Jury had
agreed, the long wait resulting from
the absence f f Judge George W. Allen,
who- was attending the funeral of his
colleague. Judge Carlton M. Bliss. ,
The Jury was composed entirely oi
married men, their ages averaging 33
years.
As the clerk finished reading the ver
dict Mra Patterson sprang to her feel
and caught the outstretched hand oi
her attorney. From outside the court
room came a great roar of cheers; in
side, the crowd was quiet and orderly,
But as court adjourned and Mrs. Pat
terson stepped forward to thank the.
Jury the crowd surged in on her, over
whelming her with congratulations,
and her efforts to reaoh the Jury wen
in vain.
Jurors Call on Woman.
Later four of the Jurors called on hei
as she was making ready to leave th
Jail. To these she expressed her thanks
and through them her gratitude to tha
rest of the Jury.
When Mrs. Patterson stepped from
the little court building for the last
time 'to make her Journey to the Jail
a Journey that for the past ten days
she had made four times a day through
a line of curious humanity the space
between the courtroom .and the Jail
was packed with a cheering crowd.
On the arm of her attorney she strug
gled through the crowd, men trying to
shake her hand and women striving
to kiss her. Behind her, both hands
waving in the air, came her father,
shouting his Joy aloud. Close behind
him came the mother and sister, both
In tears.
Prisoners Give Cheers. t
At the Jail, preparations for leaving
were made quickly. It was Just 3
o'clock when Mrs. Patterson stepped
through the barred doors and into an
automobile that carried her to tho hotel
at which her family is staying. As she
passed through the Jail rotunda, gay
with Thanksgiving decorations, the 150
or more prisoners gave her a round of
cheers.
At no time In the deliberations of
the Jury were there more than two votes
for conviction. Four ballots were taken. .
the first resulting in ten for acquittal
and two for conviction of murder In
the first degree. This ballot was taken
after the Jury, which retired at 9:15
P. M., had made its preliminary survey
of the evidence and the Instructions.
After that ballot the Jury went to bed.
The second ballot was taken soon af
ter the Jury returned from breakfast.
resulting as the first. An hour's dis
cussion followed and the third ballot
was taken. It stood 11 to one for ao
qulttal. At 1 i :1 5 o'clock in the mdrni
ing the Jury took the fourth vote. It
was solid for acquittal.
Croitds Flock to Court-
The news of the agreement spread!
quickly through the city and from
every direction a great crowd made its
way to the courtroom. Admittance waa
denied to all until a few minutes before
the Jury was brought down, and when
the doors finally -were opened only a
small part of the throng was able to
crowd into the building.
Mrs. Patterson was brought into
court shortly before the Jury entered.
Seated beside her counsel, she chatted
with him merrily. In striking contrast
to her demeanor of the last few days.
The verdict hung, it is declared, upon
Mrs. Patterson's trip to Europe with
another man after she had been mar
ried to Patterson. Whether this trip
was taken with her husband s Knowl
edge and consent, after he had received
1500 from the man with whom she
went, as she contended, or whether she
had withheld from Patterson the true
nature of the trip, aa the state con
tended, was the subject. It waa said.
with which the Jurors dealt for the
longest time.
Tonight Mrs. Patterson is with her
parents, who came from Sandoval, 111.,
for the trial. Of her plans she had lit
tle to .say.
Mrs. Mary K. Patterson, the mother
f the dead man, listened to the read
ing of the verdict In silence. As she
