cused of the , robbery of about H0.000
worth of diamonds from Albert Lo wen-
thai at the Portland hotel on November
17 last, was completed bpfore Judge Fra
aer Jn the State Circuit Court on Satur
day. The Jury after being out about two
hours, returned a verdict of not guilty.
The two trials, faithfully prosecuted by
the state's attorneys, hare failed to sat
isfy the law's .' demands that the real
thief be brought t Justice. Kelly Wiley,
colored, is serving a sentence In" the Or
egon penitentiary as a result of hi own
confession of guilt as an accomplice to
Savage, - but since he admitted to have
confessed in order to escape' not only a
heavy sentence, but to forestall punish'
ment for four burglaries he committed,
bis evidence from the first has been con
sidered unworthy of belief, unless sup
ported by .corroborative testimony. This
testimony is still wanting.
Altogether about $-000 worth of the dia

secured from True Johnson, who was in
