The 42-year-old foreign lan- guages professor at Harpur Col- lege in Binghamton. N.Y., had faced three capital murder charges arising from the deaths

of his wife and two daughters-«

Judge Claude Wagner liber- ated him of the charge of mur- dering his wife Sheila. 43. In a decision based on a study of evi- dence presented during a pre- liminary hearing of the charge. Judge Wagner ruled there was insufficient grounds to send Prof. Haumont to trial.

He evidence presented by the Crown was "circumstan- tial and raised suspicions. but

on not lead this court to the irresistible conclusion that the accused could be the author of the crime charged to him." ,

“After having considered the proof in its entirety the court. which was guided solely by the law. the proof and my con- science has not the slightest hes- itation in declaring that the evi- donco does not constitute mm. cioatproof to permit me to send ting accused to trki,ol." Du
