Wednesday afternoon previous the case was given to the jury and the following forenoon their verdict of not guilty was rendered and the defendant stepped from the courtroom a free man. From the time the change ot venue was taken from Wyandotte to this county the Mirror has been especially careful not to give any of the evidence in the tnal, as it was brought out, for the reason that it would only make it that much more difficult to secure of a jury. Now that the trial is ended a brief resume of the case is not out of place. A. W.

Little and B. E. Johnson were partners in a coal-mine investment; both were good business men but the investment was a failure; Johnson charged Little with selling him out. The business disagreement grew into hostility. Many times bad blood was exhibited and a personal encounter barely averted.

On the evening of the tragedy Little met Johnson and shot him, as it is claimed, in self-defense. Both parties were well and favorably known. The case at once assumed vast Importance in the community and so strong was the feeling that a change of venue was taken to Johnson county. On the first trial the jury disagreed. The evidence was conflicting and every legal point hotly contested.

Upon the second trial of the case at Olathe the defense maintained its vigilance while it seemed to many that the prosecution lagged. Public opinion varied but the general verdict was that an acquittal or a hung jury would result. The jury heard all the evidence, and they say A. W. Little killed Johnson in self-defense.

It is impossible to even review the evidence. But the salient tacts were that Johnson had terrorized Little; he had hounded him from day to day until Little made up his mind that he had to kill Johnson or Johnson would kill him. He armed himself and at the first motion upon the part of his enemy, shot him. Probably at this time Johnson was not armed. Had he been armed on this particular day it is probable that Little's defense would have been shorter and easier.

But Little did not know when he walked down that street that Johnson was not armed and he acted in the belief that he was. The elements of self-defense entered largely into the trial; the jury gave him the benefit of the doubt-rand we think the majority of the people of this town asree, thst tha jury was right.
