Davenport Acpuitted, Much to the surprise of of every onf, a telegram was received here Saturday stating that "Doc" Davenport was ao quitted of the charge of counterfeiting. Mr. Garland, his attorney, Davenport and several witnesses returned on Sun day. Davenport and his friends were naturally much pleased at bis release. Davenport Is well known in this com munity and bis conviction was not doubted, as his guilt was apparent to every one. The Portland papers give long accounts of the trial which are substantially as follows: "Doc" Dav enport, a druggist of Tangont, charged will) counterfeiting, was awarded bis liberty in the United States court yes terday by the outer of Judge Bellinger who instructed the jure to find n ver dict or acquittal. This is ill line with the policy pursued by Judge Bellinger in Ibis name ease at the time of the ar raignment id Davenport, who offered lo plead guilty, and the rourt, after hearing the statement of the accused, permitted a withdrawal of the plea of guilty. The staieuient of Davimpirt was that he Wss induci-d to procure plaster of-pari moulds anil make counterfeit dollars at the request of Charles Fresh, who was employed by Secret Service Agent Nicholas R Har ris t hus to en trap Davenport. The de fendant said he bad no criminal intent when he made the spurious coins for Fresh, and was only showing him how such workers operoted, and made but two or three pieces, Fresh express ing just a curiosity to sec the mode em ployed. He made no other except those at the request of Fresh, and was not engaged in counterfeiting prior to the visit of Fresh. Judge Bellinger held that the bfflcrs of the government ought not to go about the country Instigating crime. At the trial yesterday Fresh testified that he induced Davenport to make the coins and furnished him with money to buy plaster-of-paris and solder, and a dollar piece as a model. He was to purchase counterfeit coins from Davenport, and was told by Special Agent Harris not to aid In any way the manufacture of the bogus money. When Fresh had finished with his evidenc, Judge Bellinger said: "If this is the kind of testimony there is against Davenport, I shall not let the case go to the jury. It shows that he was solicited to make counter feits by an agent of tbe government. Freeh suggested the work to Daven port. No body is going to be convicted in a court where Is justice is ad ministered on such testimony." While the people of the community expected and hoped for the conviction of this old offender, they are pleased that one of our borne attorneys has re ceived much praise on the successful manner in which he conducted the de fense of his client, whootherwise must have received a long terra In the peni tentiary. Judge Bellinger severly criticized the methods of Detective Harris and District Attorney Murphy, but exonerated the parties in Lebanon who made the arrest of Davenport, as they acted only as deputy marshals In the Hue or their duty at such officers; but be plainly stated that Harris and Fresh had mado themselves liable to indictment with Davenport. Wbile we think that Davenport is a danger oUBmau to be at large and should bave beeu convicted, we recognize his right to make a defense and we con gratulat Mr. Garland upon his success. Notice.
