(United Pitas Leswd Wire.)
Boise, Ida., Jan, 4. George A. Petti
bone was acquitted today of the charge
of murdering ex-Governor Fsank A.
Steunenberg.' The verdict was an
nounced at 11:16. after more than 14
hours' deliberation.
At 10:46 Judge Wood sent for the
attorneys, and Immediately on their an
rival the Jury was brought in. . The de
fendant was surrounded by his wife,
attorneys and a number of friends.

On the first ballot, taken soon after
the Jury retired at 8:60 last night, the
vote was ten for acquittal and two for
conviction. AUrvnlght the case was dis
cussed; but the two refused1 to go over
to the majority, claiming, it Is said,
that they would hang the Jury. Finally,
however, they gave up the fight and
agreed to a verdict of not guilty.
Everybody Expected It
Little surprise was occasioned In
Boise by the result. No evidence except
the depositions on the Bradley explo
sion' at San Francisco was Introduced
by the defense, and the case was not
argued from the standpoint of the de
fense. When Judge Hilton or Denver took
charge of the case, after Clarence Dar-
row had retired on account or illness,
it was decided to submit the case to
the Jury without testimony and without
argument, basing their claim for ac
quittal solely on the ground that the
state had railed to prove tne defendant
guilty

While no action has been taken in the
Moyer case, it is certain there will be
no further prosecution. Moyer will be
released from bail at. once and he an
Pettibone w-i return to Denver.
Attorneys for the defense, without
exception, stated that the verdict was
not a surprise to them. The state failed,
they said, to connect Pettibone In any
way faith the Steunenberg murder.
James H. Hawley, of the prosecution,
declined to discuss the case, further
than to say Moyer would not be tried.
Too Sappy to reel Bitterness.
After the verdict was returned Judge
Wood Issued a formal order discharging
the prisoner and, accompanied by hi
wife and a number of friends, he was
taken hark to 8t, Alehonsus hospital
which has been his home moat of the
time during the trial. He said he never
had anv . doubt that he. alonr with
Moyer and Haywood, would be cleared
of the charve. He expressed no bit
terness. saving he was too happy to
think about those who had caused his
prosecution.

oam was civen for consideration last
evening at 8:60, deliberated and argued

Great Interest centers in the course
