LONDON tRcutchI —A 19- year-old butcher was found not guilty Friday of murder- ing the “Holy Lady of Clerk- enwell." Two juries had failed to agree on a verdict and a third one acquitted him. Albert Thomas Reed walked out of court a free man when the. prosecutor offered no evi- dence to the third jury. which formally found R e e d not guilty. Reed's case was believed the first in English legal his- tory in which two juries failed to agree. on a verdict.
