AcquittedOn . Charge Of i Conspiracy

'A verdict of not 811ml’ W“ brought down yesterday by the gory in the case of The K1118 VI- Lcuis ‘Berrigan and Ams-nd Gal- lmt, charged with conspiracy to steal foxes. Evidence was given for ms defence yesterday by Amsnd flallant and Louis ‘Bel-risen. accused, who recounted the Ito?!’ or their two trips with Fred. Benton u. the western part or the Island-

The Jury was addressed by Mr. it. R. Ball for the defense and Mr. M. A. Farmer for the Crown.

In his address Mr. Justice Saund- ‘on stated that the indictable of- fense ‘which it was chbrged that the accused had conspired to com- mit was breaking and entering. and Melina foxes of Elmer Bharbell. it was a. question of whether ths ac- ‘pused formed e common intention bf committing an indictable of- fense. A common design in this ease fanned a. conspiracy.

There were two storiee. Whiflh were diametrically opposite. one by Fred and Jack Benton, the Other by the two accused. it was neces- pary to consider only the trips o! Nov. 10 and 15. Fred Benton had pdmittedwhat they had taken the trip, leaving Charlottetown armed low the purpose of canying out their design. Fred Benton had said [they had discussed the very matter

m the road between Summcreide '

and Abrams Vlllase. The accused 35d denied that they had any in- tention to commit crime. It was a "simple matter to make a. mistake it a fork in the road at Day's Cor- ns. One of the roads led to Ab- kunfls Village. ~ 1i Fred Beatonk; story was not borrect he was the biggest scound- and greatest monster that l-lis dship had aver seen in court law. 1t had been said that Ber- hsd tried to double cross ton, but no evidence had been ven that there tvas anything be- en the two. The story to s lim- degres had been corroborated wdack Beaten who had said that Berrigan had told him of the hiring or the car. of the lirwurlhs oi the clubs end bass. and that Bhsrbell had got ahead of Berrlgan on a deal.

There was no question that Fred Baton had had a criminal record. Evidence ‘had been given that the ‘accused also had had. a criminal rc- icord. BMTlIMI had given a sad ex-

ibition o1 admittinii he had liquor n court in tho morning. The whole bunch of them, the four, appeared to be s. ver bad crowd, and it was difficult to tell who had been tall- lng the truth.

John Vesrey had testified that lBerrigan had come to him and had nskbd if the latter would pelt six rifoxcs, and for the pelting of the six he was prepared to give one sil- Ner fox. Ordinarily foxes were pelt-

What was the oblect of the men telling Moose that they were de- tectives from the other side? Why did not Berrigan stop at Middleton when he passed nu girl's sate? 0R1- lant, a man on city relief, had saved up $65, for the purpose of getting rum from s man whom he had never seen. Five days later he had gone to Bummer-side, but never thought of the rum. Possibly the story was true, but it certainly was a most singular and remarkable

As regards Den-inn getting Gol- lmt to drive the car, His lordship pointed out that he hag also Fred Beaten with him. who had been driving for several years. On the second trip. why had he not gcno to see Patureul as he had intended?

The evidence submitted on both sides was most unsatisfactory. H Lordship commented. 1

It might be possible that the 1117i? would find that one or the other of the accused had conspired with Boston.
